The Usage of Modern Technologies in Logistics Warehouse with an Emphasis on Automated Warehouses
The present book is targeted to introduce the applied modern machineries and technologies in goods storage operations. The attempt is made to provide a comparative condition to ease the decision-making process of the stakeholders or industrial experts via spotting the potential and the characteristics of each technology in terms of technical advantage as well as investment and productivity indicators. With regard to the tremendous effect of automation enhancement in promoting efficiency and efficacy, large part of this book is dealt with the area of logistics automation in warehouses under AS/RS technology (from hardware side and mathematical modeling perspective).
