Abstract

Picking is labor intensive and the most expensive aspect of distribution warehouse operations. Therefore, research on improving the efficiency of distribution warehouse picking has become important. We propose an asynchronous parallel processing system for distribution warehouses with a multiple-zone layout and verify the efficiency improvement by real data.
