Abstract: This paper presents an original method for modelling the energy intensity of an overhead crane using MATLAB–Simulink and MSC Adams software. The analysis focused on an overhead crane used in warehouses handling bundled goods, which are placed on pallets. The study examined the energy intensity of the crane in two reference, predefined work cycles: goods reception and order picking. During the development phase, data from logistics centres and the FLEXSIM system were used to define the test cycles. The author's experience in implementing and developing standards was also applied. Reference measurements of the crane, necessary for validating the computer model, were carried out in real operating conditions at a logistics centre. The integration of the author's proprietary approach—combining computer-based energy intensity modelling with test cycles for the crane—helped overcome barriers in supporting the concept of "green warehouses" (passive or energy-positive), making it possible to estimate and compare the energy intensity of intralogistics facilities. A high level of agreement was achieved between the measured and modelled data using the author's proprietary EPI. The described methodology was verified using a double-girder overhead crane handling bundled load units in a warehouse. The test results determined the potential for energy recovery within the crane's drive system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
