Objectives for AS/RS:
- to increase storage capacity
- to increase storage density
- to recover factory floor space
- to improve security and reduce pilferage
- to reduce labor cost and increase labor
productivity in storage operation.
37
Equipments of MH Automated Storage System… cont.
- to improve safety in the storage function
- to improve control over inventories

38
Equipments of MH Sizing the Automated Storage System
Total storage capacity of one aisle depends on how many storage compartments are arrange horizontally and vertically in the aisle.
capacity per aisle = 2nynz
where ny = num of load compartments along the length of the aisle
39
Equipments of MH Sizing the Automated Storage System… cont.
AS/RS which ny = 9 and nz=6
40
Equipments of MH Sizing the Automated Storage System… cont.
Let x = the depth dimension, y = width dimension and z = the height of the unit load.
W = 3(x+a)
L = ny (y+b)
H = nz (z+c)
where a, b and c are allowances designed into each compartments to provide clearance.
41
Equipments of MH Sizing the Automated Storage System… cont.
Eg:
Each aisle of a four aisle AS/RS is to contain 60 storage compartments in the length direction and 12 compartments vertically.
x=42 in, y=48 in, z=36 in, a=6 in, b=8 in and c=10 in. Determine capacity, W, L and H.
42
Equipments of MH Sizing the Automated Storage System… cont.
Soln:capacity per aisle = 2 (60)(12) = 1440 unit loads. With 4 aisle, the total capacity = 1440 x 4 = 5760 unit loads.W = 3(42+6) = 144 in = 12 ft/aisle
overall W = 4(12) = 48 ftL = 60(48+8)=280 ftH = 12(36+10) = 552 ft
43
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System
Consists of a series of bins or baskets suspended from an overhead chain conveyor that resolves around a long oval rail system
Horizontal or vertical, sizes range: 10m and 30 m
Application: storage and retrieval operation and transport and accumulation, work in process and unique operation.
44
45
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.

Transport and accumulation- used to transport/sort materials as they are stored.
Unique applications- involve specialize eg electrical testing etc.
46
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.
Storage capacity:
- the size of carousel cab be determined:
C = 2(L – W) + πW
Where C=circumference of oval conveyor track, L and W are length and width of the track oval.
47
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.

48
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.
Let Sc = carrier spacing and nc = num. of carrier;
Sc nc = C
and Tc = C/4vc + Tpd , Rt = Rc = 60/ Tc
Where Tc =S/R cycle time, vc = carousel velocity, Tpd =average time required to pickup
49
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.
Eg:The oval rail of a carousel storage system, L=12m, W=1m, 75 carriers equally spaced around the oval, suspended from each carrier are 6 bins. Each bin =0.026m3 volumetric capacity, speed=20m/min. average P&D time for a retrieval=20 sec. Determine volumetric capacity and hourly retrieval rate.
50
Equipments of MH Carousel Storage System… cont.
Sol:
total num. of bins, ncnb = 75x6=450binstot. volumetric capacity = 450(0.026)=11.7m3
The circumference of the carousel rail, C = 2(12-1) + 1π = 25.14m.
Tc= 25.14/4(20) + 20/60 = 0.647min
Rt = 60/0.647 = 92.7 retrieval transaction/hr

Optical Character Recognition(OCR)
- is a machine readable by an optical device.
- optical character recognition is a 2D symbology.
- advantages: low first read rate and high substitution error rate when hand-held scanning, lack of an omnidirectional scanner for automatic checkpoint and widespread and growing adoption of bar code technology.
