Analysis of the Operation of a Stacker Crane with Simulation Methods

Marek Karkula

Abstract


The paper presents a simulation model of a stacker crane used as a means of internal transport in storage systems. A dynamical model of a stacker crane has been developed in the discrete event driven simulation environment. Results of numerical experiments and time characteristics are presented for various trajectories of a crane.

Keywords


dynamical model of a stacker crane ; simulation model
