EXERCISES

AS/RS

1) What are types of Automated Storage System? And their applications?

2) What are the components of AS/RS?

3) The single command cycle system of a ABC Inc. has cycle time per operation as 2 minutes. Expected
system throughput for the corporation is 400 operations per hour. Number of storage space per system
height is 20 and total number of storage spaces using a randomized policy is 10000. Assuming storage
and retrieval operation take same time, determine:
(i) Number of S/R machines,
(ii) Number of rows, and
(iii) Number of bays in each row

4) Each aisle of a sis-aisle AS/RS contains 65 storage compartments in the length direction and 15
compartments vertically. All storage compartments are the same size to accommodate standard-size
pallets of dimensions: x = 45 in and y = 50 in. The height of a unit load z = 40 in. Using the allowances,
a = 6 in, b = 8 in, and c = 10 in, determine (a) how many unit loads can be stored in the AS/RS and (b)
the width, length, and height of the AS/RS

5) A single carousel storage system is in a factory making small assemblies. It is 15 m long and 0.5 m
wide. The pick-and-deposit time is 0.2 min. The speed at which the carousel operates is 0.6 m/sec. The
storage system has an 85% utilization. Determine the hourly throughput rate of the storage system

EXERCISES

WAREHOUSE

1) What are major operations in DC/Warehouse?


2) What is involved in order picking?
3) What is batch picking?
4) What are differences between pick to light and pick to voice? And their applications?
5) What are warehouse activities?
6) What is crossdocking?

ERGONOMICS/MANUAL MATERIAL HANDLING

1) Why should we apply Ergonomics to design manual Material handling system?

2) Evaluate/analyze the workers' Postures and suggest improvements:


SORTATION

1) What is automated sorting system? Please propose the conceptual design

Design automatically detecting system for control / sortation product

2) Sortation of products (taller than normal dimension) on the conveyor belt


3) Detecting the defective products on the conveyor belt

OPENCIM

1) OpenCIM cell is shown schematically in the following figure. Including conveyor, robot, AS/RS,
milling machine and turning machine. Please briefly describes the operation of the system.
2) The machining cell consists of four workstations (A, B, C, and D) and a load/unload station. They
are presented a machine layout diagram below:

The operation sequence is followed

Please design materials handling system (conveyor, robot, AGV...) for machining cell (Drawing layout
diagram) and briefly describe the operation of the machining cell?
