Single-shuttle systems are frequently used in engineering practice, and they are based on the dual command cycle, while multi-shuttle systems are based on the quadruple and sextuple command cycles. The main problem is how to incorporate an appropriate control policy so that the condition of minimal empty travel of the storage and retrieval machine will be fulfilled. A special heuristics method, Strategy x, that sequences storage and retrieval requests in order to minimize the average travel time has been used for this purpose. Discrete event simulations were used to evaluate the heuristics performances within multi-shuttle systems.
