Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) for Pallets

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The 'Jay' AS/RS pallet load technology is designed to handle unitised loads into and out of very high density storage. While sometimes used to replenish picking locations with palletised commodities, the most common application of this equipment is for the buffering of supply chain deliveries, storing and controlling the inventory until it has released from QC.

An AS/RS consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieval loads from defined storage locations. This system AS/RS typically finds applications where: there is a very volume of loads being moved into and out of storage; storage density is important because of space constraints; and no value adding content is present in this process.

AS/RS can be used with standard loads as well as nonstandard loads. A fixed-aisle stacker crane is one of two main designs: single mast or double mast. It is supported on a track by ceiling and floor guided. Another AS/RS technology is known as Radio Shuttle technology, where the horizontal movement is made by independent shuttles each operating on one level of the rack, while a stacker crane lifts and shifts the pallet shuttle and pallets to a P&D station.

Types of automated storage and retrieval systems for pallets: automated warehouses for pallets (AS/RS) with high bay pallet storage systems; single deep pallet storage, double deep pallet storage; automated warehouses for pallets (AS/RS) with radio shuttle racking systems.
