Optimize space and efficiency with automated storage and retrieval systems

High capacity, throughput and performance

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are ideal for increasing operational performance without increasing your building footprint. Inventory accuracy and reduced shrinkage make these ideal solutions for high-volume inventory. The optimised flow of material and just-in-time replenishment eliminates unnecessary inventory, reducing your total cost. Today’s solutions also work well in ambient, chilled or freezer environments and are ideal for a variety of industry segments and applications for manufacturing and distribution.

An AS/RS is a material handling solution built around racking or grids that store bins or totes that shuttles or robots move through the structure or from the top to pick and deliver to a goods-to-person station to fulfill orders. An AS/RS system combines automation and warehouse software to manage inventory and optimize storage space. An AS/RS system contains:

• Tote or case racking and storage
• Automated shuttles or robots
• Controlling and inventory software
• Goods-to-person stations

Available for small, mid and large loads, AS/RS solutions can be customised to a best-fit solution that can reduce labour-intensive work. At the same time, it improves productivity and order fulfillment time. AS/RS solutions can take advantage of current facility capacity and automate manual processes, from shuttles to goods-to-person stations to vertical lifts and carousels.
