This paper introduces a novel autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval system that utilizes movable lifts (AVS/RS/ML), proposed as an alternative to the tier-captive shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS). The newly proposed system aims to provide an affordable solution with highly utilised AGVs, that can also perform operations out of warehouse. The performance of this novel system is compared with the equivalent tier-captive SBS/RS warehouse design, where each shuttle is dedicated in a specific tier in that design. The comparison is based on the initial system investments costs, throughput rates, and average utilisation of lifts/MLs in the system. Collision prevention rules are also applied to AVS/RS/ML, and its performance is tested through simulation. The results show that the tier-captive SBS/SR system becomes cost-efficient under high throughput rate requirements, while the AVS/RS/ML technology is preferred for relatively moderate and low process rate requirements. The unit-cost per month performance metric of AVS/RS/ML is less sensitive to an increase in number of tiers in the system, compared to the tier-captive SBS/RS case, indicating that AVS/RS/ML may be promising for high-tier warehouse system designs.
