Automation Storage and Retrieval systems (AS/RS), in comparison with the manual storage systems, have been more efficient and feasible in terms of labor and workforce. The rapid thriving of the AS/SR technology offers a wider range of size, cost and flexibility when it comes to a considerable investment of any company or industry. Commissioned by a steel company, the main objective of this thesis project was to design and implement a small-scale demo model of AR/RS, following the guidance of the company’s supervisor.
Time planning and work were distributed evenly throughout the project between the authors. In order to select the most suitable components, a data table on the specifications of the devices chosen from a variety of manufactures was made. This thesis includes two main parts: First, the mechanical part was drafted to build a backbone for the whole project. The second part includes the use of electrical components and the PLC Siemens S7-1200, which can be considered as a heart of the system. Expertise in electrical wiring design and automation engineering was required in the project. Literature on AS/RSs was used as sources.
Conclusively, the outcome of the thesis project was a successfully assembled AS/RS model, which met the requirements of the commissioning party regarding size, cost and implementation after being tested. The model will be expanded and will serve for visualization and training purposes of the commissioning party in the future.
