Man-on-board AS/RS

This system permits storage of items in less than unit load quantities. Human operator rides on the carriage of the S/R machine to pick up specific items from drawer or bin. The system allows individual items to be picked directly at their storage locations. It provides an opportunity to enhance system throughput.

The operator may select the items and place them in a module. This is then carried by the S/R machine to the end of the aisle or to a conveyor to attain its destination.
