AS/RS – Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems
AS/RS Systems (Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems) are storage solutions using stacker cranes or other similar automated mechanisms for handling loads.
They offer high density storage thanks to the reduction of operating aisles and to their capacity for increasing in height. They also use minimum response times.
AS/RS Systems reliability permits an immediate inventory of stored products and minimizes mistakes in the handling of loads. Structures for automated storage can be simple or double-depth.
AS/RS Racking Benefits
An AS/RS application is an automated, robotic system used for sorting, storing and retrieving items in a warehouse. AS/RS systems allow for many enhancements in storage:
- Decreased labor costs
- Boosted accuracy
- Increased efficiency
- Elimination of operator error
- Enhanced safety
- Saved time from searching and picking
