Material handling robots fleet size optimization by a heuristic
Article history: Received: March 8 2019 Received in revised format: April 2 2019 Accepted: April 2 2019 Available online: April 4 2019 The application of material handling robots (MHRs) has been commonly observed in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) for efficient material handling activities.
