Validating Time Efficiency of AOSR 2.0: A Novel WMS Planner Algorithm for SMEs, under Industry 4.0

Abstract

Agent Oriented Storage and Retrieval (AOSR) WMS planner algorithm is a part of the general Agent Oriented Smart Factory (AOSF) framework, which provides a comprehensive Supply Chain (SC) architecture to help bridge the gap between Industry 4.0 standards and SME-oriented setups. This paper provides validation of AOSR algorithmwith respect to time efficiency on top of substantially improved performance efficiency in SME-oriented warehousing operations. This article, which is a part of a series of recent contributions, explains the efficiency of AOSR WMS planner algorithm in scenario-based test cases with experimentation in certain WMS Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
