In today’s intelligent warehouses, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used, and their scheduling efficiency is crucial to the overall performance of warehouse business. However, AGV scheduling is a complex problem, especially when there are a large number of tasks to be undertaken by multiple AGVs in a large warehouse. In this paper, we present a problem of scheduling multiple AGVs for order picking in intelligent warehouse, the aim of which is to minimize the latest completion time of all orders. After testing a variety of algorithms, we propose a hybrid water wave optimization (WWO) and tabu search (TS) algorithm for efficiently solving the problem. We test the algorithm on a set of problem instances with different sizes, and the results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits significant performance advantages over a number of popular intelligent optimization algorithms.
