Automated Warehouse Racking System (AS/RS)
Upgrade your warehouse, boost speed, and save up to 30% of storage space with automation technology.
Automated Warehouse
Rack AS/RS is an automated high-bay racking system using stacker cranes or shuttles to store and retrieve pallets quickly and accurately. It maximizes vertical space, reduces labor and errors, integrates with WMS/ERP in real time, and helps businesses save space and operating costs while improving dispatch accuracy.
Automated Warehouse
AS/RS combines high-bay racking with automated machines to store and retrieve pallets quickly and accurately. It increases vertical storage capacity by tens of meters, reduces costs, labor, and errors, and integrates with WMS in real time.

FAQs
What is ASRS ?
AS/RS is an Automated Storage and Retrieval System that uses machines/robots to move and handle goods in a warehouse in an organized way—reducing time, improving accuracy, and maximizing space utilization.
What information do you need to prepare?
- Products / Unit Loads: dimensions (L×W×H, mm), weight, packaging type (pallet/carton/tote), special handling requirements.
- Required Capacity: number of storage locations / peak volume + 1–3 year growth forecast.
- Throughput: orders per hour, units per hour (including peak periods), picking/prep SLA.
- Site / Building: layout plan, clear height, floor load rating, access points and service zones.
- Inbound/Outbound & Replenishment: number/location of access windows, replenishment method.
- Connected Equipment: conveyors/lifts/forklifts/scales to be integrated.
- IT / Software: WMS/ERP, integration method (API/file), barcode/QR/RFID.
- Safety & Standards: light curtains, interlocks, E-stops, local compliance requirements.
- People & Shifts: users/shifts, required skills and training.
- Budget & Timeline: budget range, approval → installation → go-live plan.
How should the site be prepared ?
Floor load capacity must meet the required specs, the building must have sufficient clear height, and service/safety zones must be allocated—along with adequate lighting and power supply, and compliant emergency exits. These are the basic requirements for this type of warehouse automation system.
**How is it different from conventional racking?**
Fully automated end-to-end—no manual walking to locate items. Higher accuracy, reduced labor, and real-time data sync with WMS/ERP.
**What load capacity and dimensions does it support?**
Unit-load AS/RS is designed for heavy pallet loads—from several hundred kilograms up to multiple tons—while mini-load AS/RS supports smaller, lighter loads (e.g., totes, trays). Actual specifications depend on the model.
What throughput can the shuttle achieve?
The shuttle system can significantly increase throughput per hour, and it scales by adding more shuttles.
What happens if there’s a power outage or system failure?
Typically, the system includes a safe-stop mode, defined recovery procedures, and may support UPS integration to ensure a proper shutdown. This depends on the manufacturer and selected specifications, but it is standard practice for AS/RS systems.
How safe is the system?
It uses safety devices such as light curtains, interlocks, emergency stops, load sensors, and access/permission logging to reduce risks in automated operations.
What does the cost depend on?
Cost depends on the system size (levels/height/number of I/O stations), load type (pallets or cartons), required throughput, safety and software options, and any additional structural or interfacing work (e.g., conveyors).
