Technology Benefits

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) are advanced solutions designed to automate the storage and retrieval of goods in warehouses and distribution centers. These systems use a combination of computer-controlled systems, machinery, and robotics to efficiently manage inventory. AS/RS solutions improve space utilization, reduce labor costs, and enhance the accuracy and speed of storage and retrieval operations. They are ideal for high-density storage environments and operations that require precise inventory management.

  1. Improved Space Utilization: AS/RS systems maximize storage density by utilizing vertical space and optimizing storage configurations.
  2. Enhanced Accuracy: Automation reduces human error, ensuring precise storage and retrieval of items.
  3. Increased Efficiency: AS/RS systems speed up the storage and retrieval process, significantly reducing the time needed to handle inventory.
  4. Labor Savings: By automating repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, AS/RS systems reduce the need for manual labor, lowering operational costs.
  5. Better Inventory Management: Real-time tracking and management of inventory improve overall inventory control and reduce stock discrepancies.

Considerations

Throughput Needs

Define storage and retrieval volumes, peak demand, and SKU velocity to size the system correctly.

System Integration

Ensuring compatibility with existing warehouse management systems (WMS) and other technologies is critical for seamless operation.

Scalability

Design for phased growth to add aisles, shuttles, or cranes as business needs expand.

Facility Fit

Account for ceiling height, columns, floor load, and fire codes when planning the layout.

Uptime and Service

Build in redundancy, clear maintenance access, and support plans to maximize reliability.
