Picking and packing in large wareho

Picking and packing in large warehouse settings and from high shelves is difficult, inefficient, and not safe for employees. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems circumvent these challenges by allowing warehouse managers to reallocate their labor hours to areas that require a creative or intuitive touch.Warehouse space is optimized using a grid system of bins that are condensed and stacked tightly together. With a modular design, this system can expand both in height and width, which is an ideal feature for facilities that have a tough time with real estate.The system is complemented by rails that run along the edges, providing an avenue for robots to move from product to product across the floor. Robots function via a PC-based process control that interacts directly with a database system as well as the customer’s enterprise system.This system provides a foundation for future warehouse automation that is scalable, easy to implement, and flexible to adapt to any space.
