Warehouse throughput is maximized at an AMR-to-picker ratio of about 2:1, improving overall efficiency while balancing costs.
Simulation analysis across 48 warehouse configurations showed modest navigation gains from cross-aisle layouts but no significant throughput increase.
Optimal resource combinations consistently delivered over two pallets per dollar, confirming the effectiveness of strategic resource allocation.
This research fills a gap in logistics literature by using dynamic simulations to evaluate AMR-human collaboration in real-world scenarios.
