FEM Combined Cycle Time CalculatorEstimate the mean combined cycle time and hourly combined cycles for a mini-load or AS/RS stacker crane.
Enter your values and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
FEM 9.851 standard case with combined infeed and outfeed at the lower corner point.
P1 = (1/5 · L, 2/3 · H)
P2 = (2/3 · L, 1/5 · H)
tm2 = t(E→P1) + t(P1→P2) + t(P2→A) + t02
Each travel time = max(Δx / vx, Δy / vy).

Conveyor Throughput CalculatorEstimate steady single-lane throughput from belt speed, product length and minimum product gap.
Enter your values and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
Throughput = belt speed / (product length + gap)
Product length and gap are converted from millimetres to metres automatically.
The result assumes steady single-lane flow.
Throughput = belt speed / (product length + gap)

Bottleneck FinderIdentify the limiting segment, effective throughput, segment utilisation, line balance and a practical upgrade target.
Enter at least one segment capacity and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
Effective line throughput = minimum segment capacity
Segment utilisation = bottleneck throughput / segment capacity
Line balancing index = sum(capacities) / (maximum capacity × number of segments)
Upgrade target = the next limiting capacity or a 20% increase, whichever is higher.

Pallet Conveyor Capacity CalculatorEstimate how many pallets fit on a usable accumulation length while maintaining a defined safety gap.
Enter your values and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
Capacity = floor((conveyor length + gap) / (pallet length + gap))
Pitch = pallet length + gap
This is a static accumulation model without dynamic braking zones.
Capacity = floor((conveyor length + gap) / (pallet length + gap))
Pitch = pallet length + gap
This is a static accumulation model without dynamic braking zones.
Storage Capacity CalculatorEstimate how many totes or bins fit into a rack block from usable rack and tote dimensions.
Enter rack and tote dimensions to calculate capacity.
Calculation logic
Capacity = floor(rack width / tote width) × floor(rack depth / tote depth) × floor(rack height / tote height)
This is a simple block-stacking model without clearances, beams or structural obstructions.

Picking Performance CalculatorEstimate theoretical picks per hour for one operator from reach, scan and placing time per item.
Enter your values and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
Picks per hour = 3600 / (reach + scan + pack)
This is a simplified one-piece-flow estimate without waiting, walking, congestion or fatigue factors.

Container Tilt Stability CalculatorCalculate the maximum tilt angle before a container tips or slides, including CG offset and optional friction.
Enter your values and calculate the result.
Calculation logic
Tipping: tan(θ) = x / Hcg, where x = (base / 2) − offset
Sliding: tan(θ) = μ
When friction is supplied, the lower of the tipping and sliding angles governs.
Typical friction ranges
Plastic tote on steel rollers: 0.15–0.25
Plastic tote on PVC belt: 0.30–0.50
Cardboard carton on steel rollers: 0.30–0.40
Cardboard carton on rubber belt: 0.55–0.65
