How to use this tool

  1. Enter the measured quantities and planning assumptions in the displayed units.
  2. Run the calculation, then compare the result with your available capacity or actual records.
  3. Change one assumption at a time to compare operating scenarios.

Try this example

{
  "pallets_hour": 60,
  "dwell_minutes": 45,
  "peak": 1.2,
  "area": 1.5
}

Accuracy and scope

Average-flow sizing with user peak factor, not an engineered warehouse or fire-clearance layout.
