Originating in the 1960s, this system has now become a core equipment in the field of modern high-density and high-efficiency warehousing and logistics.

Core Components

• High-Density Racking: Tall, narrow-aisle structures that maximize the use of vertical space (usually up to 20-30 meters and above).
• Storage & Retrieval Machines (SRMs)/Stacker Cranes: Used for unit load storage and retrieval; including mini stacker cranes, shuttles for totes/cartons, etc.
• Conveyor/Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) System: Responsible for the inbound/outbound transfer of goods between docks, workstations and SRM pick-up points.
• WCS + WMS Control Software: WCS controls real-time equipment motion; WMS manages inventory data, order processing and system optimization.
• Sensing & Identification System: Including barcode/RFID scanners, dimension/weight detection equipment, safety sensors, etc.

Key Advantages

• High Space Utilization: Vertical expansion reduces floor space by 30%-70%; storage density is 3-5 times higher compared to traditional warehousing.
• Labour Cost Savings: Reduces manual picking and handling work, lowering labor inputs and workplace risks.
• High Accuracy and Throughput: Achieves inventory accuracy of over 99.99%, keeping operations stable even during peak periods.
• Real-Time Inventory Management: Integrates with WMS for live inventory tracking, improving order fulfillment and demand forecasting.

Typical Workflow

1. Goods are scanned, measured, and assigned a storage location by the WMS.
2. Conveyors or AGVs transfer the items to the SRM pick-up station.
3. The SRM transports the load horizontally and vertically to its designated rack position.
4. Upon outbound order request, the SRM retrieves the goods and delivers them to the shipping or sorting zone.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System AS/RS

Expanding vertical storage space realizes automated access, digital management, and unmanned operations. These structures represent the standard configuration for modern factories to optimize logistical costs.
