Introduction
Moving packages and pallets around your warehouse
storage isn't always easy. We recognise that
warehouse managers, like you, encounter several
challenges when running a distribution centre.
Among the challenges are high labour costs, low
productivity and efficiency, and significant
employee safety concerns, to name a few. But, at
your warehouse, do you really need an automated
warehousing system? What role do you think
they'll play in your warehouse optimisation
efforts? Let's look at what ASRS is, how it's
utilised.

What are Automated Storage Retrieval Systems?
Automated storage and retrieval systems, often
known as AS/RS or ASRS systems, are acronyms for
automated storage and retrieval systems. These
systems make handling, stashing, and retrieving
items in warehouses more efficient by combining
software, computers, and robotics. They can be
small at first, but they can quickly expand into
a vast automation network that can be managed
with the correct software. ASRS combines a
number of technologies and transportation to
automate the retrieval and deposition of
high-volume cargoes. Furthermore, they handle the
cargo properly, whether it needs to be loaded
into a storage container or removed from it and
delivered somewhere.

Unit-Load ASRS

• Unit-load ASRS are automated storage and
  retrieval systems for large loads
• Used for items such as product cases or
  pallets. 
• Unit-load AS/RS is utilised for weights weighing
  several thousand pounds.

Horizontal carousels

• They're utilised to segregate small parts and
  components. 
•   Horizontal carousels leverage bins and rotate
  them horizontally to transfer things.

Vertical Carousels

• Vertically spinning carousels are similar to
  horizontally spinning carousels.
• They rotate vertically
• It allowing you to maximise the amount of
  storage space available.

Vertical Lift Module 

• Vertical lift modules (VLMs) are automatic
  inserters or extractors located in the centre of
  a column of trays. 
• They help in object retrieval and storage in the
  trays.

Cube based storage

• Cube-based storage is a cutting-edge robotic

• It operates inside the confines of a cubical
  storage grid.

How should you know if you need ASRS?

• Below are some pointers to help you determine if
  you need one for your warehouse.
• Maintenance charges are high (labour costs make
  65 percent of the expenses of running a
  warehouse)
• On a regular basis, there are errors in product
  or part storage and retrieval procedures.
• Injuries to employees
• Low productivity and efficiency.
• Workplaces that are excessively hot or cold.
• The use of vertical storage space is
  underutilised.
• Losing track of the goods.
