AS/RS
AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) is an automated storage solution that uses software and robots to handle loading and unloading, maximizing warehouse productivity. Managed by advanced software, it also helps reduce the risk of theft, which is a common issue in large warehouses. This system is ideal for very large warehouses that require high-speed transportation.
The main drawback of AS/RS is the substantial capital investment required, which can be a major barrier for many businesses. However, once implemented, it offers significant advantages, including substantial savings on labour and warehouse management costs.
