Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
Improve accuracy, optimize space, and increase throughput with innovative Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS).
Innovative ASRS Solutions for Every Fulfillment Need
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are sophisticated, computer-controlled systems used to efficiently manage the storage and retrieval of products in warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities. These systems are designed to optimize space utilization, improve inventory accuracy, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
Examples include:
- Unit-Load ASRS: handle large, heavy units such as pallets, cases, or large bins
- Mini-Load ASRS: handling lighter, smaller loads, often in totes or bins
- Robotic Shuttle-based ASRS: Shuttle-based ASRS use a robotic shuttle to deliver items without the need for human intervention.
- Robotic Cube Storage Systems: Advanced system where robots move across a grid structure to sort and retrieve inventory stored in bins.
- Floor Robots: Automated guided vehicle (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), transport inventory within your warehouse.
- Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs): An elevator-like system that stores trays vertically.
