Abstract
This paper deals with developing automated warehousing systems: from t he best physical structure design to the control and managing code gen eration and installation rules. An integrated object oriented modeling methodology and a number of tools, have been developed in order to au tomate the design process as much as possible, and to take advantage o f the common features of this kind of installation, and also allowing the needed customization. Finally, the design process of a real wareho use project is presented. This system is now working at the ACL compan y in Valladolid (Spain), which feeds the Palencia (Spain) RENAULT car- assembly plant with car seat covers in a JIT environment.
