Satisfying your customers’ demands has never been more challenging, but AutoStore makes it easy. Powered by robots, our Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) ensures that your supply chain is always ready to scale with your customers’ demands.
This solution does not require light in the aisles, or aisles for that matter, as there are no people picking. The savings due to energy and space can vary but are overall high in comparison to other solutions.
Features of the AutoStore ASRS System
BINS
Product is stored in Bins which are stacked on top of each another in the Grid, creating high density storage
ALUMINIUM GRID
The aluminium grid provides storage space for the bins & tracks for the robots to drive on. Made of only 17 unique parts, it is modular & flexible, making it easy to install & fit to any floorplan.
ROBOTS
Robots travel along the top of the grid, retrieving Bins & delivering them to Ports}, or workstations. Robots are able to access any bin & deliver to any Port in the system
PORTS
Bins are delivered to operators at ports, or workstations used for picking or put away. Having multiple Robots & Ports creates redundancy, ensuring no single point of failure
CONTROLLER
The Controller is the brain behind the system, telling the Robots where to drive. AutoStore’s software determines the most efficient Robot movements, ensuring optimal system performance
