Advantages of AS/RS

Absolute inventory accountability is one of the most significant Advantages of an AS/RS. Through knowing precisely how much of what materials are located at any specific moment, inventory reductions are fairly common and higher reductions are frequently realised. Additionally, these systems discourage pilferage and generate very little product or equipment damage. The systems can as well enhance customer service and working conditions, and so results in less indirect cost related with supervision, administration, facilities and security.

The following are the benefits of using an AS/RS :

• Better space utilisation
• Less direct and indirect labour
• Reduced inventories
• Less energy consumption
• Reduced pilferage
• Less product damage
• Improved working conditions
• Easier housekeeping
• Less equipment damage
• Improved customer service
• Better management control
