Automated Storage and Retrieval System

An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) uses computer-controlled machines to automatically store and retrieve loads in defined storage locations, reducing labor costs and increasing safety, accuracy, productivity, and efficiency. Examples include vertical lift storage modules that use extractors to access trays vertically and unit load stackers for pallets. ASRS systems require high initial investment but optimize space utilization and prioritize fast-moving products.

AUTOMATED STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM


ASRS

• An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) consists of a variety of


computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined
storage locations.
• Advantages- Reduced Labour Costs, Fewer Labour Constraints, Increased Safety,
Increased Accuracy, Productivity, and Efficiency, Can be Modular (prioritizing fast-moving
product first—limiting initial expense, and allowing you to slowly transition to full
automation), Better Use of Space

VERTICAL LIFT STORAGE MODULES (VLSM)

• The VLM is a board controlled automated vertical lift module


• When a tray is requested, either by entering a tray number in the built-in control pad or
by requesting a part through software, an extractor travels vertically between the two
columns of trays and pulls the requested tray from its location and brings it to an access
point. The operator then picks or replenishes stock and the tray is returned to its home
upon confirmation.
• Can be customized according to facility needs.
UNIT LOAD STACKERS

• The unit load stackers is typically a large automated system designed to handle unit loads
stored on pallets or in other standard containers.The system is computer controlled, and
the S/R machines are automated and designed to handle the unit load containers.
ASRS Gantry Robots
• Ex- TIRE INDUSRTY FOR STACKING TIRES.
LIMITATIONS-
High Initial Investment, Maintenance, Not Suitable for Highly-Variable Operations, Can
Require Technical Skill and Retraining
