An AS/RS is designed for a facility with aisles of storage with an S/R machine dedicated to each aisle. Each aisle is 360 ft. long and 64 ft. high. The shuttle on the S/R requires 20 seconds to perform a P/D operation. The average horizontal speed of the S/R is 400 feet per minute (fpm) and average vertical speed is 80 fpm. The horizontal and vertical movement is simultaneous. It is assumed that 40% of the operations (storage and retrieval) are performed on a dual-command basis. Also, a peak rate of 100 storages per hour and 100 retrievals per hour is assumed. Calculate number of single commands and dual commands, respectively,
