automated storage and retrieval system

1. Automated Storage and Retrieval System M Prasanna DAE.,BE(Auto).,ME (Manufacturing) Thiagarajar college of Engineering Madurai

2. Automated Storage and Retrieval System(ASRS) It consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations

3. Why we choose ASRS ??? Orders spending too much time in the factory, causing customer deliveries to the late Much time spend for searching Lost or damaged products and inaccurate records Waste much space Workers are exposed to dangers If the answer to all of these questions is “ YES ” for a given material handling system, then the system can be considered Automated Storage and Retrieval system(ASRS).

4. Basic structure of AS/RS Storage structure S/R machine (Storage / Retrieval) Storage modules (e.g., pallets for unit loads) one or more pickup-and-deposit stations External handling system

5. Basic structure of AS/RS 1. Storage structure Fabricated steel Rack frame work Supports the load contained in the AS/RS To store Inventory items 2. Storage/Retrieval Machine It is capable of both horizontal and vertical movement Used to move items in and out of the inventory

6. Basic structure of AS/RS 3. Storage Modules Unit load containers is used to hold an inventory items such as pallets, steel wire baskets, containers etc The modules are generally made to a standard base size capable of being stored in the structure and moved by S/R Machines 4. Pickup and Deposit (P/D) Stations loads transferred to in and out of the AS/RS stations located at the end of aisles Number of P/D Stations depends upon the orgin point from incoming and outgoing loads

7. Basic structure of AS/RS 5. External handling system bring load to AS/RS and takes load away Eg - Pallet truck etc

15. Automated storage and Retrieval system

16. Applications Unit load storage and handling system – Warehousing for finished goods/Products Order Picking – Used to store and retrieve materials in less than full unit load quantities such as man-on-board or mini-load applications Work-in-process – Support just-in-time production activities, buffer storage, and as integral part of assembly systems

17. Conclusion AS/RS is a great system which was developed to improve the storage systems used in industries to handle, store and retrieve materials with precisions, accuracy and speed under defined degree of automation.
