Automated Storage and Retrieval System
Transform your storage operations with our Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). Designed to maximize space and improve efficiency, our ASRS quickly and accurately stores and retrieves items, helping you streamline processes, increase productivity, and scale your business with ease.
What is Automated Storage and Retrieval System
An Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) is a high-tech solution used in warehouses and distribution centers to automatically store and retrieve items. It uses automated machines, such as shuttles, cranes, and conveyors, to move products to and from storage locations with minimal human intervention. The system is controlled by software that manages inventory and ensures quick, accurate retrieval.
Working of Four Way Shuttle
1
Item Entry
Products are brought into the ASRS system, and are scanned into the inventory management system.
2
Storage Assignment
The system analyzes available storage space and assigns each item to a specific location, optimizing space usage.
3
Automated Retrieval
When an item is needed, the ASRS uses automated machines to locate and retrieve the item from its storage location.
4
Pick Area
After retrieval, the item is transported to a picking station or delivery area using automated conveyors or other transport systems.
5​
Efficient Storage
The ASRS updates inventory in real time, while storing items in organized racks to maximize capacity and enable easy retrieval.
6
Optimized Flow
Most of the storage, retrieval, and transportation tasks in ASRS systems are automated, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing human error.
ASRS Core Features
The ASRS is designed to streamline warehouse operations, enhance efficiency, and optimize storage space. By automating key tasks like storage and retrieval, it speeds up inventory handling and reduces manual effort. Here are some of the core features of the ASRS.
