Features of the AutoStore ASRS System

The autostore bin capacity system stands out with a maximum load of 30 kg (66 lbs), ensuring secure storage. It accommodates various bin layer configurations, with options ranging from 24 layers for 220 mm bins, 16 layers for 330 mm bins, to 14 layers for 425 mm bins. This adaptable approach to layering emphasizes the system’s versatility. Products find their place within stacked bins, forming a grid-based, high-density storage solution.

AutoStore FAQs

AutoStore robots are small carts with wheels that automate the storage and retrieval of inventory. The robots glide across the top of an aluminum grid and have an elevator-type mechanism that is able to identify, retrieve, and transport inventory orders within a facility.

An AutoStore ASRS system stores inventory in bins that stack on top of one another creating columns. The inventory within these bins is moved by robots. These robots are small carts with wheels that glide across the top of the aluminum grid and have an elevator-type mechanism that digs out the necessary bins. The robots take the bins needed to create the orders and bring them to a port. The person at the port is presented with one bin at a time and told which item(s) to take out to complete the order.
