 Shipping and Receiving System       

  Shipping and Receiving System for a seasonings manufacturer 

 

Concept development project for an integrated ASRS and AGV system. 

 

The client required a system capable of responding to seasonal rates.  Herbs are seasonal and the client must purchase a years supply at the end of each growing season.  Seasonings are packaged by manufacturing at a more even distribution throughout the year thus causing wide fluctuations in the incoming and outgoing rates.  

 

AGVs were to be used to support the loading of the system at the peak season and must also serve manufacturing and finished goods input and output thought the year.  

 

A concept was developed utilizing a dual ended entry ASRS.  This approach would facilitate the peak as well as normalized rates throughout the year.  AGVs would be assigned receiving duties at the receiving dock some 500’ distant for the manufacturing facility.  

 

Under normalized operational activity, the AGVs would be dynamically assigned between the manufacturing facility thus eliminating excessive travel between assignments.
