Automated Storage and Retrieval System(ASRS)
It consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations
Why we choose ASRS ???• Orders spending too much time in the factory,
causing customer deliveries to the late• Much time spend for searching• Lost or damaged products and inaccurate records•Waste much space•Workers are exposed to dangers If the answer to all of these questions is “YES” for a
given material handling system, then the system can be considered Automated Storage and Retrieval system(ASRS).
Basic structure of AS/RS1)Storage structure2)S/R machine (Storage /
Retrieval)3)Storage modules (e.g.,
pallets for unit loads)4)one or more pickup-
and-deposit stations5)External handling
system
Basic structure of AS/RS1. Storage structure
Fabricated steelRack frame workSupports the load contained in the AS/RSTo store Inventory items
2. Storage/Retrieval MachineIt is capable of both horizontal and vertical
movementUsed to move items in and out of the
inventory
Basic structure of AS/RS
3. Storage ModulesUnit load containers is used to hold an inventory
items such as pallets, steel wire baskets, containers etcThe modules are generally made to a standard base
size capable of being stored in the structure and moved by S/R Machines
4. Pickup and Deposit (P/D) Stationsloads transferred to in and out of the AS/RS stationslocated at the end of aislesNumber of P/D Stations depends upon the orgin
point from incoming and outgoing loads
Basic structure of AS/RS
5. External handling system
bring load to AS/RS and takes load away
Eg- Pallet truck etc

Automated storage and Retrieval system
Applications•Unit load storage and handling system –
Warehousing for finished goods/Products•Order Picking – Used to store and retrieve
materials in less than full unit load quantities such as man-on-board or mini-load applications•Work-in-process – Support just-in-time
production activities, buffer storage, and as integral part of assembly systems
Conclusion
AS/RS is a great system which was developed to improve the storage systems used in industries to handle, store and retrieve materials with precisions, accuracy and speed under defined degree of automation.
