Automatic Storage & Retrieval

A solution that is advanced. versatile. adaptable.

Unit Load

Unit Load systems are designed with narrow aisles from floor to ceiling, with stacker cranes and/or shuttles moving between to deliver and retrieve loads.

Mini Load

Mini Load systems' productivity is ideal for small parts in containers, trays, or boxes because of the short access times and quick retrieval.

Cold Storage

Cold Storage systems are suitable for almost all types of goods and can serve as standard temperature, temperature-controlled, or deep-freeze (up to -35°C) storage facilities.

Benefits & Applications

A significant benefit of AS/RS systems is their ability to optimize space utilization. By leveraging vertical space and implementing dense storage configurations, warehouses can substantially increase storage capacity without expanding their physical footprint. This is particularly advantageous for businesses in urban areas where space is both limited and costly.

Increased Efficiency

AS/RS automates the storage and retrieval process, reducing the need for manual labor. This results in faster, more accurate operations, minimizing errors and boosting overall efficiency.

Optimal Space Utilization

AS/RS systems effectively utilize vertical space by storing items in compact, high-density configurations. This maximizes storage capacity and can potentially reduce the need for additional warehouse space.

Enhanced Inventory Control

The system tracks item locations, quantities, and expiration dates, ensuring accurate inventory management. This helps prevent stockouts, reduces inventory holding costs, and improves order fulfillment accuracy.

Improved Safety

AS/RS minimizes the risk of accidents associated with manual material handling. Automated processes reduce the need for workers to lift heavy loads or operate potentially dangerous equipment.

Faster Order Fulfillment

The automation and optimization of storage and retrieval processes result in shorter lead times, increasing customer satisfaction and enhancing your competitive edge.

Cost Savings

Implementing an AS/RS system can yield cost savings in various ways. Such as reduced labor costs, improved space utilization, decreased inventory holding costs, and overall more efficient operations.

A Fully Automated Solution

Applications

The automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) offers numerous benefits that can significantly elevate your storage solutions.

Increased storage capacity and efficiency: AS/RS systems optimize storage capacity and maximize efficiency by utilizing vertical space and automated retrieval mechanisms. These systems store and retrieve items with precision, making the most of available space and minimizing the need for manual handling. This results in increased storage capacity and enhanced operational efficiency.

Improved accuracy in inventory management: Automated storage and retrieval systems employ advanced technologies such as barcode scanning and RFID tagging to accurately track and manage inventory. This eliminates human error in inventory counting and reduces the risk of stockouts or overstocking. With real-time visibility into inventory levels, businesses can make informed decisions regarding replenishment and order fulfillment.

Reduction of labor costs: AS/RS systems automate many manual tasks involved in storage and retrieval processes, leading to a substantial reduction in labor costs. By eliminating the need for manual picking, sorting, and replenishment, businesses can streamline their operations and allocate human resources to more value-added tasks. This not only reduces labor expenses but also boosts overall productivity and employee satisfaction.

A Total Solution

Common Industries

While not limited to any industry, here are some common industries that benefit from the applications of AS/RS:

Manufacturing: AS/RS solutions are extensively used in manufacturing facilities for storing raw materials, components, and finished goods.

Warehousing and Distribution: With the growing demand for e-commerce and online retail, warehouses and distribution centers require efficient storage solutions.

Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: The pharmaceutical industry requires strict inventory control and adherence to regulatory standards. AS/RS technology helps maintain proper storage conditions, ensuring traceability and minimizing errors.

Food and Beverage: The automated retrieval process reduces the risk of contamination and maintains product quality.

Automotive: The automotive industry relies on AS/RS for storing and managing various parts and components used in vehicle manufacturing.

These are just a few examples of industries that benefit from the applications of AS/RS. The versatility and flexibility of AS/RS systems make them suitable for limitless other sectors.
