OPC Based Automated Three-dimensional Warehouse Management:Key Issues and Design Methodology

Abstract

Automated three-dimensional warehouses are now more and more widely utilized in logistics industry to enhance efficiency of storage allocation, storage location, assignment, etc. in logistic activities. Increasingly, there is a need to study strenuously to provide assurance that automated three-dimensional warehouses are well managed. Although a large volume of research findings is available on the topic, high efficiency automated three-dimensional warehouse management (ATWM) is always on the way. In this article, theoretical background and key issues related the ATWM are briefly reviewed, and then and OPC (OLE for process control) based ATWM approach is proposed. Also, overall functional architecture, flowprocess diagram and functional module implement idea are described in detail. Prototype system of our design is implemented, and it shows a good practicability in storage location assignment, storage allocation and assignment and other critical operations. It is expected that our research set a good example for high-performance ATWM system design and implementation.
