Be Efficient and Optimize Your Operations with Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS) and Goods-to-Person (G2P) Technologies to reduce labor, increase floor space capacity and increase accuracy.
Is your organization struggling to keep up with labor, inventory levels, accuracy, cost per pick, and floorspace demands on your warehouse operations? Do you spend valuable time searching and retrieving items for your order fulfillment? It’s time to optimize your operations and improve efficiency with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) and Goods-to-Person (G2P) technologies.
3D Vertical Cube Storage Advanced robotic storage system where autonomous robots navigate dense cubic grids to store and retrieve bins. Delivers up to 400% more storage capacity than conventional warehousing while achieving 79% ROI through goods-to-person automation.
Articulated Robotic Arms Multi-jointed robotic systems with human-like arm movement capabilities for complex material handling tasks. Programmable for various pick-and-place operations with precise positioning. Integrate with vision systems for automated sorting, palletizing, and quality inspection.
ASRS Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems use computer-controlled cranes, shuttles, and software to automatically store and retrieve inventory. These systems maximize vertical space, reduce labor costs, improve accuracy, and enable 24/7 operations in warehouses and distribution centers.
Bin-to-Person Systems Automated technology that delivers storage bins containing inventory directly to picking stations. Eliminates operator travel time while improving ergonomics and accuracy. Includes various technologies like shuttles, carousels, and robotic systems for efficient order fulfillment.
Collaborative Robots (Cobots) Safe robotic systems designed to work alongside human operators without safety barriers. Feature built-in sensors and force limitation for collision detection. Enhance productivity in picking, packing, and assembly operations while maintaining workforce flexibility.
Cube Storage Dense robotic storage system where bins are stacked in a cubic grid structure. Robots travel on top to retrieve specific bins, delivering exceptional storage density. AutoStore is the leading example, offering up to 75% space savings compared to traditional shelving.
Goods-to-Person (GTP) Automation strategy that brings inventory directly to stationary workers rather than having pickers travel. Includes various technologies like carousels, shuttles, and robotic systems. Dramatically reduces walking time, increases picking accuracy, and improves ergonomics for warehouse staff.
Horizontal Carousels Rotating storage system with bins mounted on an oval track that moves horizontally. Delivers items to an operator at an ergonomic pick window. Ideal for small parts picking, providing high-density storage and fast access times for order fulfillment.
Mid-Load ASRS designed for medium-sized loads typically weighing 100-1,000 pounds. Handles cases, small pallets, and totes using automated cranes or shuttles. Bridges the gap between mini-load and unit-load systems, offering versatility for diverse warehouse operations and SKU sizes.
Mini-Load High-speed automated system handling small loads under 100 pounds in totes, bins, or cases. Uses stacker cranes for vertical storage and retrieval. Perfect for small parts, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and e-commerce applications requiring fast, accurate order processing capabilities.
Mini-Load in a Box Compact, modular mini-load system designed for smaller facilities or limited spaces. Pre-engineered solution offering ASRS capabilities without requiring extensive facility modifications. Provides automated storage benefits with faster installation and lower investment compared to traditional systems.
Person-on-Board Automated system where operators ride on stacker cranes to pick items directly from storage locations. Combines automation speed with human flexibility for order picking. Ideal for facilities requiring manual selection of variable products at height.
Radioshuttle Remote-controlled shuttle vehicle operating on rails within pallet racking systems. Moves horizontally to transport pallets deep into storage lanes automatically. Increases storage density while reducing forklift traffic and improving warehouse safety and efficiency.
Robotic Piece Picking Advanced robotic systems using AI and vision technology to identify, grasp, and pick individual items from bins or shelves. Handles diverse product shapes and sizes automatically. Reduces labor costs while improving picking accuracy and speed.
Satellite Systems Automated shuttle vehicles that detach from stacker cranes to retrieve pallets from deep storage positions. Enable high-density storage in multi-deep configurations. Reduce crane cycle times by allowing simultaneous storage and retrieval operations.
Shelf to Person Automated system where entire shelving units are transported to picking stations by robotic vehicles. Mobile shelving maximizes floor space utilization while bringing products directly to workers. Combines storage density benefits with goods-to-person productivity gains for flexible operations.
Shuttles – Cases/Totes Robotic vehicles that travel on rails within storage structures to move cases and totes. Multiple shuttles can operate simultaneously on different levels, providing high throughput. Ideal for high-velocity operations requiring rapid storage and retrieval of smaller inventory units.
Shuttles – Pallets Heavy-duty robotic shuttles designed to handle full pallets within deep-lane storage systems. Operates on rails to move pallets horizontally within racks. Enables dense pallet storage with automated access, reducing forklift traffic and improving warehouse safety and efficiency.
Stacker Crane Systems Computer-controlled cranes operating in narrow aisles between high-density storage racks. Use telescopic forks or load handling devices to store/retrieve pallets automatically. Foundation technology for most unit-load and mini-load ASRS installations worldwide.
Tote to Person Specialized goods-to-person system focused on delivering totes containing inventory directly to picking stations. Combines tote handling technology with ergonomic workstations. Optimizes small-item picking operations while maintaining accurate inventory control and order fulfillment speed.
Unit-Load Large-scale ASRS handling full pallets and heavy loads up to several thousand pounds. Uses tall stacker cranes in high-bay warehouses for maximum vertical storage. Essential for bulk storage, manufacturing, and distribution operations requiring automated handling of palletized goods.
Vertical Buffer System Temporary storage solution using vertical space to queue inventory between processes. Buffers inventory during peak operations or system maintenance. Maintains continuous workflow by storing work-in-progress items vertically, optimizing floor space while preventing production bottlenecks in manufacturing environments.
Vertical Carousels Rotating storage system with carriers moving vertically in a loop, similar to a Ferris wheel. Brings stored items to an ergonomic access opening at operator level. Space-efficient solution ideal for small parts storage, tools, and supplies in manufacturing and maintenance applications.
Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) Enclosed automated storage towers with adjustable trays that move vertically via lift mechanism. Computer-controlled system delivers requested items to an access window. Maximizes vertical space utilization while providing secure, climate-controlled storage for valuable or sensitive inventory items.
