ASRS Exercises

The document provides details on the design specifications and calculations for several Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS). The first AS/RS has six aisles, with each aisle containing 50 storage compartments that are 36 inches by 48 inches. It can store a total of 2,400 unit loads and has dimensions of 216 feet by 432 feet by 18 feet high. The second AS/RS is designed to store 1,000 pallet loads across two aisles using a rack structure that is five times its height and 500 mm above the floor.

AS/RS EXERCISES

1. Each aisle of a six –aisle Automated Storage/Retrieval System is to contain 50 storage


Compartment compartments in the length direction and eight compartments in the vertical
direction. All storage compartments will be the same size to accommodate standard size
pallets of dimensions: x= 36in and y = 48in. The height of a unit load z = 30in. Using the
allowances, a= 6in, b =8in, and c=10in, determine:
(a) how many unit loads can be stored in the AS/RS and
(b) the width, length, and height of the AS/RS. The rack structure will be built 18in in above
floor level

2. A unit load AS/RS is being designed to store 1000 pallet loads in a distribution centre
located next to the factory. Pallet dimensions are x= 1000 mm, y = 1200mm, and the
maximum height of a unit load =1300mm. The following is specified:
(1) the AS/RS will consist of two aisles with one S/R machine per aisle,
(2) length of the structure should be approximately five times its height, and
(3) the rack structure will be built 500 mm above floor level. Using allowances, a= 150 mm,
b=200 mm, and c= 250mm, determine the width, length and height of the AS/RS rack
structure
3. The length of the storage aisle in an AS/RS 240ft and its height = 60ft. Suppose horizontal
and vertical speed of the S/R machine are 300ft/min and 60ft/min, respectively. The S/R
machine requires 18 sec to accomplish a pick-and-deposit operation. Find
(a) the single command and dual command cycle time per aisle and
(b) throughput for the aisle under the assumption that storage system utilization = 85% and
the numbers of single command and dual command cycle are equal.
