Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems offer the benefits of maximized storage capacity and throughput, combined with high inventory accuracy. These systems operate in an automated mode with little or no human involvement in the handling of material, except at the controlled input and output stations. Goods are operated by fast stacker cranes that transport them between their storage location and the operator, thus eliminating wait, walk and search functions. This results in a true model of goods-to-man. Automated storage systems can also be self-supporting structures, by which the storage racks sustain cladding walls and support the roof. In certain cases, a combination of an ASRS and a high density storage system could prove to be extremely efficient as it further reduces human intervention while increasing storage capacity. In the case of storage and handling of small parts, whether within a tote or on a tray, a Miniload ASRS is typically utilized. It is highly suitable for facilities that service high volume manufacturing and distribution operations.
