Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) increase storage density up to 60%


Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) enable you to automatically store and retrieve pallets, cartons or totes from racking locations. It is possible to increase storage density up to 60%. Examples of AS/RS systems are:

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) can be implemented as single as well as double deep storage.

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) can be beneficial in several phases of the distribution centre process:

Bulk storage: By storing your products in AS/RS systems you can reduce handling and make better use of available floor space. Our QUICKSTORE miniload systems are especially designed for automated small parts storage. Read the Herma case. Our pallet handling technology is especially suitable for automated pallet storage (high bay). Read the Argos and Colombini case.

Order picking: AS/RS systems, in combination with our goods-to-man order picking solutions, are ideal for picking of small volume products in retail and wholesale distribution centres. Read the PLUS Retail case. Automated Crate Picking can significantly lower your costs and improve store friendly delivery. Crates are not stored in ‘traditional’ racking, but in an AS/RS system. Crates are picked, transported and palletized automatically without manual labour. This type of solution is especially beneficial for fresh food in crates. Read the Micarna case. Finally AS/RS systems can take care of the replenishment of flow racks in zone picking systems. Read the TVH case.

Order consolidation: By automating your order consolidation and packing operation you can optimise the number of shipments, improve delivery accuracy and store-friendly delivery, and reduce manual handling. Material flows from different (order picking) areas come together in the QUICKSTORE HDS system. Within a short time period, flows can be sorted and grouped per order, delivery unit or shipment, and then dispatched in the exact sequence you require. Read the Sorbo case.


Selecting the right storage solution

Selecting the right automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) for your specific situation depends on the storage capacity and throughput you require.

We offer a complete range of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) for different types of products like pallets, totes, cartons and even car tyres! We have implemented these solutions at many well-known companies, such as Herma, GAME Stores, PLUS Retail, Van Den Ban, Colombini, Micarna, Audi, Arrow Electronics and Casaventa.
