Abstract：To solve order picking path planning problem with a stacker in AS/RS of multi aisles,a mathe-matical model is established in order to minimize the total running distance of stacker for some given orders considering the constraints of turnover box capacity for stacker. Then the model is solved using a new algo-rithm combining GA with SA. Finally,for a same application case,GA,SA and hybrid algorithm of SA and GA are designed and simulated in Matlab environment. The results illustrate that the hybrid algorithm overcomes the prematurity of GA (Genetic Algorithm)and the slow convergence speed of SA (Simulated Annealing). The result of the proposed approach is more accurate,more stable and faster in convergence than a single algorithm. The hybrid algorithm proves feasible and efficient.
