Result Interpretation

Warehouse Aisle Cycle Time Calculator computes Aisle Cycle Time in s using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Vehicle Acceleration = 0.75
  • Maximum Vehicle Speed = 1.5
  • Drop Time = 4
  • Pick Time = 8
  • Aisle Length = 30
  • Dwell Time = 2

Expected Result:

  • Aisle Cycle Time = 58

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Aisle Cycle Time = 58 s.

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

Formula / Method

aisle cycle time = 2 * (aisle length / maximum vehicle speed) + 2 * (maximum vehicle speed / vehicle acceleration) + pick time + drop time + dwell time
