AS/RS (Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems) are integrated, automated storage and retrieval systems.Their function is to make the best possible use of space in warehouses, so boosting their efficiency and productivity.
• Increased productivity, performance and efficiency
• Taking maximum advantage of the space available
• Improved ergonomics and less movement for people
• Optimized process times
• Providing secure, accurate real-time inventory data
• Easy installation and maintenance
• Fully scalable. Modular, integrated design
These ensure high speeds for efficient storage and retrieval at peak times. Their main advantages are gains in space, flexibility, ergonomics, safety and time, as they perform “good to person” picking, i.e. it is not the person but the machine that goes to fetch the product.
All the modules can be combined with one another to allow for graduated configurations. Like this it is possible to operate an automated high-level warehouse reliably and economically and adapt to increased productivity or refitting of existing warehouses. At Smartlog we install different types of stacker cranes for each job and need, whether single-aisle, multi-depth or whatever.
Some of them access all storage aisles using machines guided by rails, directly, quickly and safely. These systems shorten access times in any warehouse system.
