Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS-RS)
Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS-RS)
Industry-leading, data-driven optimization from an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) can provide your facility with extra flexibility and speed.
An AS/RS integrated by PeakLogix is a key component of integrated systems. It combines data-driven optimization, Warehouse Management Software, and labor investment reallocation.
The result is optimized productivity and operations throughput.
AS/RS can result in greater profitability and worker satisfaction for your facility. Distribution centers can spend over 50% of labor costs on manual storage and retrieval.
Design, integration, control, and installation of an AS/RS allow you to reallocate your capital investments to further train and promote your high-skilled staff.
An AS/RS makes fulfillment operations work for you.
Distribution operation centers and warehouses need on-demand access to flexible technology. An AS/RS meets the demand for speedy, accurate, and efficient fulfillment of orders. In the right facility, automation can be a cost-effective solution for material handling challenges such as rising order velocity or volume and labor shortages.
An automated storage and retrieval system integrates with a Warehouse Management System and other business systems you have in place, allowing you to:
- Increase throughput processes from inventory decanting, racking, and conveyance to sorting and packaging.
- Expand and maximize your existing floorspace vertically.
- Reduce or avoid capital expenditures related to expansion and new construction.
- Lower labor and other operating costs through improved inventory control.
- Improve security for premium or controlled products.
AS/RS optimizes your facility by integrating narrow aisles, stacked storage, or moving storage.
Each aisle is automated with a goods-to-man picking service, so your operations can improve productivity. An AS/RS solution also helps you plan for inconsistencies and spend time on improving your facility.
One client achieved a 20% reduction in fulfillment time when integrating an AS/RS with their WMS and RFID technology and a 75% boost in productivity.
AS/RS has multiple applications to optimize efficiency.
- Aisle-to-aisle stacking paired with horizontal carousels for maximum footage utilization.
- Carousels combined with Pick-to-Light or voice picking for high-speed goods-to-person fulfillment.
- Inventory management to notify staff of reduced inventory levels so you never run low.
- Receive orders from multiple high-density and velocity inventory zones for picking and consolidation.
- Deliver the correct product and quantity so you see a reduction in error.
- Route optimization for faster, more efficient deliveries.
