Storage Density
- Maximized Vertical Space: AS/RS systems utilize vertical space efficiently by using high-rise storage structures with automated cranes or shuttles. This allows for storage at much greater heights compared to traditional shelving systems, effectively maximizing the use of available warehouse space.
- High-Density: AS/RS systems store items in a compact manner, often using shelves, racks, or trays that can be densely packed. This high-density storage reduces the aisle space needed for manual access, further increasing the storage capacity within the same footprint.
- Dynamic Storage Allocation: Most AS/RS systems can adapt to changing storage needs by dynamically allocating storage locations based on the size and characteristics of the items being stored. This minimizes wasted space and optimizes the use of available storage areas.
- Multi-Deep Storage: Some AS/RS systems support multi-deep storage configurations, meaning they can store multiple items behind each other in the same storage location. This increases storage density by allowing several items to be stored in a single slot.
Accurate Picking
- Reduced Human Error: AS/RS systems minimize the involvement of human operators in the picking process. This reduces the likelihood of errors caused by fatigue, distractions, or misinterpretation of order information.
- Barcode and RFID Integration: Systems can be integrated with barcode scanning and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This ensures that the correct items are being picked by verifying them against the order details electronically, further reducing the chances of picking the wrong items.
- Real-Time Inventory Tracking: Some AS/RS systems may come with real-time inventory tracking capabilities. This means that the system always has up-to-date information on item locations and quantities. When a picker is directed to a specific location, they can be confident that the item is available there, increasing accuracy.
- Order Validation and Verification: AS/RS can incorporate order validation steps that require additional confirmation from pickers before items are released for shipping. This could involve scanning or manual confirmation to verify that the correct items have been picked.
