Order picking optimization in a robotic mobile fulfillment system

作者：

Highlights：

• We focus on the order picking process optimization in the RMFS.

• An integrated order and robot scheduling optimization problem is studied.

• A mixed-integer non-linear programming model is formulated.

• Some managerial implications for warehouses managers are proposed.
