## Summary

A discrete-event simulation study compared two implemented intra-aisle robotic picking configurations: without an onboard tote lift, two level-captive shuttles serve the two tested levels; with the lift, one shuttle remains on its horizontal level and its onboard mechanism moves the order tote to the adjacent upper level to complete picks.
