AS/RS

Automated Storage/Retrieval System

Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems, also known as AS/RS is a combination of equipment and controls that handle, store and retrieve materials as needed with precision, accuracy and speed under a defined degree of automation.

Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems follows the “product to man” concept. Systems vary from relatively simple, manually controlled order-picking machines operating in small storage structures to extremely large, computer-controlled storage/retrieval systems totally integrated into a manufacturing and distribution process.

AS/RS refers to a variety of computer-controlled methods for automatically depositing and retrieving loads to and from defined storage locations. The whole system is controlled by a management software package, which registers the location of all the materials in the warehouse and keeps an inventory in real time.

Benefits:

• Elimination of errors arising from the manual management of the warehouse
• Controlling and updating inventory management
• Operating 365 days a year
• Multiplying client service capacity
• Swift payback of investment
