Costs $500,000 for one aisle of a mini load (totes) $1 million for one aisle of the standard pallet size AS/RS These prices come from Jim Nunor at SK Daifuku and are just estimates. The prices include all hardware and software, installation, warranty, and service agreement.

Uses Industries that commonly use AS/RS include: food and consumer goods manufaturing, grocery and retail, automotive, chemical, and electronics. Anything that can be put into some kind of unit load can be stored in an AS/RS.

Industry Standards Some of the ANSI/ASME B56 standards apply AS/R systems are rated by load capacity. But nothing is standard since loads can range between 2000lbs and 4000lbs.

Class Application Given the information on the second page of the article about the AS/RS at the Chicago Tribune, find the foot print of the AS/RS. Assume there is a 3 inch gap on all sides of all pallets. L = n y (y+b) = 50(52in+3in+3in) = 2900 inches = 241.67 feet W row = n x (x+a) = 2(52in+3in+3in) = 116 inches = 9.67 feet W aisle = 2W row + (x+a) = 290 inches = 24.17 feet W total = 2W aisle = 580 inches = 48.33 feet 241.7 feet by 48.3 feet
