Automatic Storage Systems An automated storage and retrieval system, commonly known as AS/RS, is a computer-controlled system that efficiently stores and replenishes loads from specific locations.
AS/RS technology is widely used in warehouses, manufacturing units
and distribution centers for material handling and inventory management
purposes. These systems are widely used in cold storage, automotive,
pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage and e-commerce applications.
What are the Types of Automated Storage?
With Automatic Storage Systems, a modern and technological
understanding has been adopted in product storage methods. With this
understanding, while the costs and workload are reduced, the efficiency of the
work flow has been increased. Products such as lift, multi rack and carousel
are the most basic assistants of this technology. In addition, automatic
storage systems have been diversified to meet every need.

Advantages of Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems
Automatic storage and retrieval systems have several advantages for
warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.
1. Reducing variable costs
Automatic storage and retrieval systems reduce the variable costs of
operations by reducing the need for manual labor for tasks such as picking,
warehousing, assembly and inventory replenishment. These costs are variable and
expenses such as overtime, benefits, and payroll taxes are added to the total
manual labor cost.
2. Automation guide, recurring storage and retrieval costs
As mentioned, AS/RS solutions automate manual, repetitive storage
and retrieval tasks, reducing the need for manual labor. Automating these tasks
improves accuracy and efficiency while also freeing employees to focus on
higher-value activities.
3. Better security
Human workers who perform manual, repetitive tasks for several hours
can experience fatigue and muscle tension, increasing the risk of error and
injury. Likewise, mistakes made when operating heavy equipment in a production
or warehouse environment can be dangerous and result in injury or death.
AS/RS solutions automate these tasks, eliminating employee fatigue
and physical strain while eliminating errors that can hinder productivity and
safety. AS/RS equipment can also move materials and loads that are too heavy
for humans to carry, reducing workplace injuries from lifting.
4. Better space utilization
Proper grouping of shelves and items is vital in warehouses and
distribution centers. Stocks of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished
products need to be replenished regularly to ensure processes continue
uninterrupted. Warehouses and distribution centers depend on effective use of
space to maintain a healthy bottom line.
Most AS/RS solutions require narrower aisles than facilities that
require adequate aisle space for human workers and equipment such as forklifts
to pass, often with two-way traffic. Narrower aisles open up more storage space
for goods and materials, allowing warehouses and DCs to store more products
without expanding the facility. Facilities can make better use of vertical
space, as automated storage and retrieval systems have easier access to higher
storage locations than human workers.
Our company Akdenizrack ® operates as the leading name of the sector
throughout the country and abroad with its warehouse shelf systems and
automatic storage systems services. Our company prioritizes customer
satisfaction without sacrificing quality and trust while providing its
services. Years of experience in the sector reflects professionally on our
entire service process and gives us strong references.
Akdenizrack offers automatic storage systems solutions in
intralogistics systems for the optimization, automation and integration of
packaged products, palletized products, intermediate products and final
products in areas such as factories and warehouses.
Our company offers its customers a wide range of applications in
production, storage and distribution centers.
With AS-RS Systems, our company ensures that the cargoes are stored
on the shelves, and the product controls can be easily carried out, arranged,
unloaded and the collection of orders within the logistics planning is directed
by computers. Akdenizrack, ASRS automatic storage rack systems consist of
high-altitude warehouse shelves. In this service, which is offered within the
scope of our company's services, even shelves as high as 40 meters can be
easily kept under control. With the mobility of the shelf mechanisms, the
corridors are eliminated and the warehouse space used can be designed at full
capacity.
Our smart warehouse racking systems consist of advanced technology
computer systems, automatic robots, software and hardware.
In our robotic storage systems, robots move faster than humans,
carry products beyond human power, and determine the most appropriate route,
accelerating the workflow and making it more efficient.
Akdenizrack continues its R&D studies within the scope of
Automatic and Robotic Storage Systems without slowing down and offers its
services by developing its projects.
