Westfalia's AS/RS Benefits Calculator will help manufacturers and distributors answer common questions related to the benefits of incorporatingAutomated Storage/Retrieval Systems(AS/RS) earlier in the planning process. This interactive AS/RS calculator provides users a preliminary look at what a high-density automated warehouse design would look like based on their own calculations. For a more detailed analysis of your specific warehouse requirements contact Westfalia'ssales teamor send us your calculated data below.
Step 1:What are the size of your current pallets?
Use the scroll bar or type in the current size of the unit load including overhang and skew (in inches).
Step 2:How large is your building?
Use the scroll bar or type in the current size of your warehouse.
Step 3:Describe your throughput (production / receiving)
Use the scroll bar or type in the design year input (production/receiving) and output (shipping/pick replenishment) rates (pal/hr).

Benefits of high density storage
Reduce product damage and increase accuracy
In a conventional warehouse, transporting a high volume of heavy unit loads over long distances can lead to increased product damage and insufficient accuracy. An automated storage and retrieval system increases accuracy, productivity and greatly reduces product damage through the use of a Storage/Retrieval Machine (S/RM), designed with the flexibility to cover large horizontal and vertical distances.
With an average conventional product damage rate of0.5%, producing10,000,000cases annually using manual material handling applications, your current damage rate averages at5,000cases per year.
Utilizing an AS/RS eliminates this product damage by using precise laser positioning of the S/RM allowing for safe handling of pallets.Savanna.NET® Warehouse Management System (WMS)supports the AS/RS, tracking and controlling your inventory in realtime, thus increasing accuracy and eliminating product damage.
Labor Savings
自动存储和检索系统减少了labor costs while lowering workforce requirements and increasing safety. A typical conventional manually operated counterbalanced fork-truck, handles an average of 15 pallets per hour. Based on your required total throughput rates of205pallets per hour, an AS/RS utilizingTandemcranes, handling an average of85pallets per hour, does the work of15fork trucks.
