Storage/Picking Comparison
The graph below shows the number of picks
per hour compared to the cubic capacity of several material
storage systems. Flow
racks, for example, allow the highest number of picks
per hour, but have the smallest capacity. A two-aisle mini
load, however, offers a high number of picks as well as
a large storage capacity.

Pick vs. Cube Comparison of Storage Systems and Picking Methods
The table below describes a typical pick rate, cubic storage capacity, and number of SKUs for each type of material storage system:
