Engineering Analysis

of Storage System
 ASRS Analysis
• Sizing ASRS Rack structure
 ASRS Throughput
Assumptions;
1. Randomized storage
2. Equal size compartments
3. P&D at the base and at the end of aisle
4. Constant horizontal & vertical speed
5. Simultaneous horizontal & vertical travel

Single command cycle Dual Command Cycle

 System Utilization U

Rcs = Number of Single Command Cycles

Rcd = Number of dual command cycles

Rt = Total number of transactions performed per hour

 Analysis of Carousel Storage sys
Storage Capacity
 Carousel Throughput analysis
Assumptions
1. Only single command cycle
2. Constant speed
3. Random Storage
4. Carousel can move in either direction => thus mean travel distance
is C/4
