Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the advantages of using horizontal carousels in order-picking processes, focusing on space, time, and ergonomic assessments. It begins by explaining the history and types of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), highlighting the horizontal carousel as a notable example. The chapter then compares a horizontal carousel with a traditional shelving system, quantifying the benefits in terms of reduced storage space and improved ergonomics. Notably, it introduces a method to calculate energy expenditure, showing that horizontal carousels can significantly reduce the physical effort required for order-picking. The research also addresses the complexities of time assessment, considering factors such as retrieval sequencing and waiting times. Overall, the chapter offers a compelling case for the adoption of horizontal carousels in modern warehousing operations, backed by rigorous quantitative analysis.
