Automatic storage and retrieval system

Automatic storage offer incredible pick and put cycle times along with more accurate inventory management. A basic Automatic storage system is comprised of one or more aisles, each having a robotic crane to retrieve from and store product in the racks on either side of the aisle.

The use of a robotic crane allows racks to be built several stories high over almost any length, providing more storage density than almost any other storage solution.

The cranes also bring the materials to the operator which virtually eliminates wait, walk and cycle times. AS/RS systems can also handle a variety of materials, from small bins of parts up to entire pallets of materials, with fast cycle times and high precision.
