Automated warehouse use ASRS for handling loads. This is a fast and high-density system as a result of a reduction of operating aisles, allowing shortened response times. Reliability facilitates immediate inventory of stored products and minimizes errors when handling unit loads.
As an important part of the modern logistics system, the automated storage and retrieval system can realize the rationalization of the warehouses and the simplification of the operation.
The automated storage and retrieval system is the higher level of the current technology. It consists of a variety of computer controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations.
Features:
Total control over inventory management.
Fully automated entry and exit of products.
Integrated management software coordinates all warehouse movement
Application:
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are typically used in applications where:
There is a very high volume of loads being moved into and out of storage
Storage density is important because of space constraints
No value is added in this process (no processing, only storage and transport)
Accuracy is critical because of potential expensive damages to the load
