Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing dynamic control in an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) are provided. For example, an example method may include retrieving throughput data associated with an ASRS, wherein the throughput data comprises at least one of an expected throughput rate or an actual throughput rate associated with the ASRS; retrieving at least one throughput range associated with the ASRS, wherein each of the at least one throughput range comprises an upper throughput limit associated with the ASRS and a lower throughput limit associated with the ASRS; and adjusting at least one speed setting of at least one article transport device of the ASRS based at least in part on the throughput data and the at least one throughput range.
