Purpose of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

The main purposes of installing ASRS are as follows:

1. Increase Storage Capacity: ASRS ordinarily  increase the  storage density in warehouse that is  the total  maximum  number of items that can be  stored.

2. Increase systems Throughput: ASRS increase  the number  of loads per hour  that the storage  systems  can receive and place into storage and retrieve and  place into  storage and retrieve and deliver to workstations.

3. Reduce Labor Costs: By automating the systems of retrieving storage and delivering materials  laobr  and related costs are often reduced.

4. Improve product  Quality : Because  of human  error  in identifying materials  the wrong  parts are  often  delivered  and assembled into  products.  These errors often occur  because  of similarly  in the  appearance  of different materials . automated  systems that must identify parts based  on bar  codes  or other  identification  methods are not  as subject to these  kinds  of identification  errors.
