摘要：The automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are major material handling support systems that are commonly used in the automated factories, distribution centers, warehousing, and non manufacturing environments. Their applications vary widely from a simple storage and retrieval system for small parts to central systems where production, assembly, and manufacturing operations are concentrically located around them. This paper summarizes the literature study of a Robotic automated storage and retrieval system and development of a dedicated automated storage and retrieval system for YCCE Flexible manufacturing system laboratory. The prototype model of automated storage and retrieval system developed consist of the control hardware and software communicating over a field bus network. This also includes study of literature for types of automated storage and retrieval system, study of literature for suitable environment for automated storage and retrieval system, order processing for automated storage and retrieval system. This study of automated storage and retrieval system and the physical model of automated storage and retrieval system will ensure better understanding of automated storage and retrieval system for student. The development of physical prototype is highly beneficial to acquisition of tactic knowledge and greatly benefits the development of students by understanding the automated storage and retrieval system. This model will contribute to the ongoing development of dedicated FMS. And this prototype model for AS/RS will be the foot step ahead to achieve the goal.
