Calculation Methodology
Throughput Formula
Cycles/Hour: (3600 ÷ Cycle Time) × Efficiency
Units/Hour: Cycles/Hour × Units per Cycle
Daily Throughput: Units/Hour × Hours × Equipment Count
Lost Capacity: Theoretical Max - Actual Throughput
Typical Cycle Times
Conveyor: 20-40 seconds per item
Sorter: 10-20 seconds per item
AS/RS: 60-180 seconds per pallet
AGV: 120-300 seconds per trip
Manual Pick: 30-60 seconds per line
Robot Pick: 5-15 seconds per pick
