Hello! In the attached model, the ASRS vechicles can lift 55 pallets per hour. I am trying to increase that number to 80 pallets per hour approximately. I can not change the specs of the machines though.
Is there a way to achieve that?
If the ASRS can only carry one item at a time then the only thing you can do is select the closest items for picking. It's not storing items so you can't make sure every journey is efficient by alternating between storage and retrieval jobs, or by choosing pick/placements that are close to each other. Also if you choose the nearest items without any replenishment, then the system will over time become slower as the items to pick are further away.
Also check the states of the ASRS vehicles to see if they are always busy or if there are any losses for example if the conveyor they are feeding is occupied and they are unable to unload.
