Abstract: In this study rack systems that are structural storage
units of warehouses have been analyzed as structural with Finite
Element Method (FEA). Each cell of discussed rack system storages
pallets which have from 800 kg to 1000 kg weights and
0.80x1.15x1.50 m dimensions. Under this load, total deformations
and equivalent stresses of structural elements and principal stresses,
tensile stresses and shear stresses of connection elements have been
analyzed. The results of analyses have been evaluated according to
resistance limits of structural and connection elements. Obtained
results have been presented as visual and magnitude.
Abstract: Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)
become frequently used systems in warehouses. There has been a
transition from human based forklift applications to fast and safe
AS/RS applications in firm-s warehouse systems. In this study, basic
components and automation systems of the AS/RS are examined.
Proposed system's automation components and their tasks in the
system control algorithm were stated. According to this control
algorithm the control system structure was obtained.
