Velocity-based stowage policy for semi-automated fulfillment systems
… that explores the benefits of velocity-based stowage policies for semi-automated fulfillment systems. The stowage policies decide which pods to replenish with the received inventory. Specifically, we model policies that account for the velocity of the units being stowed. By stowing higher …

Velocity-based storage and stowage decisions in a semi-automated fulfillment system
… which pods to replenish the received inventory (stowage decision). We present a high-level capacity planning model for determining the number of robotic drives needed to achieve a given throughput level. This model highlights how the operational efficiency in this system depends on two key …

An analysis of alternative methods for loading provisions aboard AOEs 1 and 2
… characteristics do not provide for handling and stowage of palletized provision cargo . Significant savings in material handling time and cost can be realized from handling cargo in palletized units. A comparison is made between the present handling procedure on AOEs 1 and 2 and five alternative …

The crane split and sequencing problem with clearance and yard congestion constraints in container terminal ports
One of the steps in stowage planning is crane split and sequencing, which determines the order of container discharging and loading jobs quay cranes (QCs) perform so that the completion time (or makespan) of ship operation is minimized. The vessel's load profile, number of bays and number of …

A Model for Multidisciplinary Optimization for Containerships
… takes into account the discrete container stowage issue. The carrying capacity (number of containers) is expressed as a continuous function of the principal dimensions by using a linear response surface fit that in turn makes the objective function continuous. Speed is a design variable. …
