Applying an Automated Storage and Retrieval System to a Centralized Bus Maintenance Facility

by Andrew J. Vanic, Jr., Gannett Fleming of Michigan, Detroit, MI, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structural Design, Cementitious Products, and Case Histories

Abstract:

Gannett Fleming recently completed the design of a new Central Maintenance Facility for the Southern California Rapid Transit District. An integral part of this facility is an automated warehouse consisting of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) and an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). The following will give you a little better understanding of what these systems are composed of, how they operate, and how they can be applied to a maintenance environment.
