An AS/RS system, also referred to as an Automated Storage and Retrieval System, is a technology used in warehouses and distribution centres to automatically store, manage, and retrieve goods. It essentially automates the process of storing and picking up items, replacing manual labour with machines for greater efficiency and accuracy. With an AS/RS system you get increased storage density, improved picking efficiency, enhanced accuracy, improved safety, and reduced labour costs.
stow’s automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS), called the Miniload multi-store, is used for storing totes, cartons or trays (goods) in a beam typed rack with depth supports between the beams. The advantage of this system is that different sizes (width/depth/height) of goods can be stored within the same system.
