Assignment:
You are given the rack structure dimensions computed in Problem 11.2. Assuming that only 80% of the storage compartments are occupied on average, and that the average volume of a unit load per pallet in storage = 0.75 m', compute the ratio of the total volume of unit loads in storage relative to the total volume occupied by the storage rack structure.
A unit load AS/RS is being designed to store 1000 pallet loads in a distribution center located next to the factory. Pallet dimensions are; x = 1000 mm, y = 1200 mm, and the maximum height of a unit load = 1300 mm. 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 he built 500 mm above flour level. Using the allowances a = 150 mm. h = 200 mm. and c 250 mm, determine the width, Length, and height of the AS/RS rack structure.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
