Question: An AS/RS is used for work-in-process storage in a manufacturing facility. The AS/RS has five aisles, each aisle being 120 ft long and 40 ft high. The horizontal and vertical speeds of the SIR machine are 400 ft/min and 50 ft/unlit, respectively. The S/R machine requires 21 sec to accomplish a pick-and-deposit operation. The number of single command cycles equals the number of dual command cycles. lf the requirement is that the AS/RS must have u through-put rate of 200 SIR transactions/hr during periods of peak activity. will the AS/RS satisfy this requirement? If so, what is the utilization of the ASIRS during peak hours?
