LoginAS/RS Modernizations: Refurbish Existing Automated Storage Systems
Your system might be obsolete, but it can be renewed for productive new operations
One of the most cost-effective ways to increase overall system performance
Cisco-Eagle believes in maximizing value for AS/RS clients by utilizing the concept of AS/RS Modernization. It's a cost-effective way to continue using older Automated Systems - revitalize them and create new efficiencies without the cost of a new system.
Whether it's poor reliability, low rates of capacity or throughput, an awkward distribution flow, or other problems, the concept of Modernization may hold the answer for you. Technology upgrades make dollars and sense...especially when your existing system can be retrofitted to reach the desired reliability, flexibility, and productivity for a fraction of the cost of new AS/RS...or even an entirely new facility.
Additionally, using a "live conversion" approach keeps inconvenience and downtime to a minimum. In addition, various levels of after-market support are available.
Potential modernization candidates include Unit Load/Mini Load, S/R Machines, Conveyors, Transfer Cars, AGV's, Vertical Lifts, Maintenance Carts, Bridge Cranes, and ACTIV Systems .
