Abstract

In this paper, a new scheduling model is presented to speed up the logistics processing in an automatic cube storage warehouse. Automated guided vehicles (AGV) are used to move all items in the warehouse according to the computer's instructions. The tasks to be performed by the AGV are optimally distributed using Genetic Algorithms (GA). The goal of our research is to optimize order scheduling in automatic warehouses to reduce human resources and lower the cost of logistics. The proposed GA's fitness function reflects removing the stacked bin, a cube storage warehouse characteristic, and getting the designated bin. Through extensive computer simulations, it is shown that the higher the generation of the GA we design, the lower the logistics processing time. As compared with other meta-heuristic optimization algorithms, our proposed GA algorithm demonstrates a maximum of 21% reduction in delivery time.
