Result Interpretation

Goods-to-Person System Bin Retrieval Cycle Time Model calculator computes Bin retrieval cycle time in s using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Bin retrieval cycle time is expressed in s. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Distance from bin location to operator station = 10
  • Maximum system travel velocity = 1.2
  • Maximum system acceleration = 0.6
  • Fixed dwell time at operator station = 2.5

Expected Result:

  • Bin retrieval cycle time = 20.380338717126

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Bin retrieval cycle time = 20.380338717126 s.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

bin retrieval cycle time = 2 * sqrt(2 * distance from bin location to operator station / maximum system acceleration) + (distance from bin location to operator station / maximum system travel velocity) - (maximum system travel velocity / maximum system acceleration) + fixed dwell time at operator station

Bin retrieval cycle time.
