Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) is a sophisticated warehouse technology that automates the process of storing and retrieving goods from inventory locations. ASRS systems typically use a combination of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) , Forklift Mobile Robot (FMR), robotic cranes and computerized controls to efficiently manage inventory within a warehouse or distribution center.
These systems are designed to maximize storage capacity, optimize inventory control, and improve overall operational efficiency. ASRS technology is particularly beneficial in environments where space is limited or where there’s a need for high-speed and accurate handling of goods.
ASRS systems can vary in complexity and design, ranging from simple automated shelving units to highly advanced systems that utilize robotic arms and AGVs to transport goods within the warehouse.
Overall, ASRS technology offers warehouse operators a way to streamline their operations, reduce labour costs, and improve inventory accuracy, ultimately leading to greater productivity and profitability.
