Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems use robotics, storage structures, and intelligent controls to automatically store, locate, and retrieve inventory. AS/RS can help warehouses increase storage density, reduce unnecessary travel and manual handling, improve inventory control, and move products more efficiently through the facility.

Fallsway works with automation technology providers to help businesses identify solutions suited to their inventory, throughput requirements, available space, and operational goals. 

Why Automate Storage & Retrieval?

Number 1 (Fallsway Font) Increase Storage Density Make better use of available floor space and vertical cube.
Number 2 (Fallsway Font) Improve Throughput Keep inventory moving efficiently between storage and downstream processes.
Number 3 (Fallsway Font) Reduce Manual Handling Automate repetitive storage and retrieval tasks while reducing unnecessary operator travel.
Number 4 (Fallsway Font) Improve Inventory Control Use software-directed storage and retrieval for greater visibility and accuracy.
Number 5 (Fallsway Font) Support Labor Efficiency Allow employees to focus on picking, packing, receiving, and other higher-value activities.

Solutions for Pallets, Totes & More

 

AS/RS can be configured around different load types, storage requirements, and material flows. The right approach depends on what you're storing, how quickly it needs to move, and how your warehouse operates.

Pallet AS/RS

Automated pallet storage systems move full pallet loads into and throughout high-density storage structures. Robotic shuttle systems can reduce forklift travel while increasing storage density and automating inventory movement.

Tote & Goods-to-Person AS/RS

Goods-to-person systems automatically retrieve totes or bins and deliver inventory where it is needed, reducing picker travel and supporting fast, space-efficient order fulfillment.

Finding the Right AS/RS

for Your Operation

 

A successful AS/RS project starts with the application—not a particular piece of equipment. Fallsway can help evaluate your inventory profile, required storage capacity, throughput, available footprint, facility height, material flow, temperature requirements, and existing warehouse infrastructure to determine which automation approach makes sense.

AS/RS can also be integrated with supporting technologies such as racking, conveyors, AMRs, lift trucks, picking stations, and warehouse software to create a more complete material handling solution.
