Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are computer- and robot-aided systems that can retrieve items or store them in specific locations. The system is usually comprised of predefined locations where machines can follow established routes to get items. As long as everything is stored in its proper location, these systems help to speed up manufacturing and shipping tasks. Typically, automated storage and retrieval systems are used when high volume loads must be moved rapidly
and accurately.

• Effective use of unused vertical space.
• Increased inventory storage density.
• Increased throughput.
• Increased order picking accuracy.
• Improved ergonomics, safety, and working environment.
• Improved product security.
• Reduced labour costs.
• Fewer labour constraints linked with labour
