Automated Storage and Retrieval System | Daifuku

  Modern innovations and technologies have revolutionized the way a factory operates. Labor intensive manual processes have given way to automated drones and robots that can work with little-to-no human intervention. Computer controlled automation systems and the software managing them add value across the entire production chain, resulting in higher production levels at faster speeds with lower costs. Warehousing, or storage, is one area of a factory where automation and technology have had a relatively late and moderate entry. However, given the scope of applications and the projected value addition they can make in the entire production chain, there has been spurt in the use of automated systems and technologies. How AS/RSs Work The Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) is one such essential part of a modern warehouse. Primarily, an AS/RS comprises of storage racks, storage and retrieval equipment, and a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that is a software component. Ad...

  AS/RS Applications and Benefits AS/RSs (automated storage and retrieval systems) are computer-controlled warehouses, or automated warehouses, in which automated cranes or shuttle vehicles automatically transport, store, and sort pallets loaded with raw materials, containers with parts, cardboard cases of products, and various other cargo onto shelves and racks. In addition to making effective use of vertical space, AS/RSs promote labor and workforce savings and improve inventory control accuracy. They are used in a variety of processes, from work-in-progress and finished goods storage in the manufacturing industry to inventory storage and sortation in the distribution industry. AS/RSs combined with robots for high-level automation are now the typical equipment driving digital transformation in the logistics sector. 1. Benefits of an AS/RS 2. AS/RS Applications 3.
