Objective• Define the term of (ASRS).• Type of ASRS• The application of ASRS

Introduction •An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS or AS/RS) consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations.• Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are typically used in applications where there is a very high volume of loads being moved into and out of storage. •Storage density is important because of space constraints no value adding content is present in this process accuracy is critical because of potential expensive damages to the load. •AS/RS can be used with standard loads as well as nonstandard loads•Saya hanya mencintai awak seorang sahaja wahai talib

Principle of operation

An automated storage/retrieval system(AS/RS) can be defined as a storage system under which a defined degree of automation is to be implemented to ensure precision accuracy and speed in performing storage and retrieval operation. These automated storage and mechanized system eliminate human intervention in performing basic sets of operation that includes:

• removal of an item from a storage location automatically• transferring the above item to a specific processing or

interface point• after receiving an item from a processing or interference

point, it is automatically stored at a predetermined location

TYPES OF AS/RS

• Several important categories of AS/RS can be distinguished based on certain features and applications. The following are the principle types :

Unit Load AS/RSMini Load AS/RS

Deep-lane AS/RSMan-on-board AS/RS

Unit Load AS/RS• The unit load AS/RS is used to store and retrieve

loads that are palletized or stored in standard-sized containers.

• The system is computer controlled. The S/R machines are automated and designed to handle the unit load containers.

• Usually, a mechanical clamp mechanism on the S/R machine handles the load.

• However, there are other mechanisms such as a vacuum or a magnet-based mechanism for handling sheet metal. The loads are generally over 500 lb per unit. The unit load system is the generic AS/RS.

Mini Load AS/RS• This system is designed to handle small loads such as

individual parts, tools, and supplies that are contained in bins or drawers in the storage system.

• Such a system is applicable where the availability of space is limited.

• It also finds its use where the volume is too low for a full-scale unit load system and too high for a manual system.

• A mini load AS/RS is generally smaller than a unit load AS/RS and is often enclosed for security of items stored.

Deep-lane AS/RS• This is a high-density unit load storage system that is

appropriate for storing large quantities of stock. • The items are stored in multi deep storage with up to 10

items in a single rack, one load behind the next. • Each rack is designed for flow-through, with input and output

on the opposite side. • Machine is used on the entry side of the rack for input load

and loads are retrieved from other side by an S/R- type machine.

• The S/R machines are similar to unit load S/R machine except that it has specialized functions such as controlling rack-entry vehicles.

Man-on-board AS/RS

• This system allows storage of items in less than unit load quantities. • Human operator rides on the carriage of the S/R machine to pick up

individual items from a bin or drawer. • The system permits individual items to be picked directly at their

storage locations.• This provides an opportunity to increase system throughput. • The operator can select the items and place them in a module. • It is then carried by the S/R machine to the end of the aisle or to a

conveyor to reach its destination.

INSTALLED APPLICATION

• Installed applications of this technology can be wide ranging. In some libraries, such as at  University of Nevada, Reno

•  library, such a system is employed to retrieve books. Still others in use involve retrieval of bicycles from a bicycle tree, as in the case of systems in Japan.

• Besides, it also use in industry to lift pallet and lift heavy things to put at a certain storage.

Mechanical

• Storage structure S/R(storage/retrieval) machine • Storage modules pallets for unit loads • One or more pickup-and deposit station • External handling system

1. Storage structure • which is the rack framework • made of fabricated steel • supports the loads contained in the AS/RS

2. S/R machine • is used to accomplish storage transaction, • delivering loads from the input station into storage, • retrieving loads from storage and delivering

3. Storage modules • are the unit load containers of the stored material.• include pallets, steel wire baskets and containers, plastic tote

pans

4. Pick-and-deposit station • is where loads are transferred into and out of the AS/RS.• generally located at the end of the aisles for access the

external handling system that brings loads to the AS/RS and takes loads away. </li></ul>

5. External handling system • brings loads to the AS/RS and takes loads away. • ex:RTV(Robotic Transfer Vehicle)

AdvantageAn effective automated storage and retrieval system provides several benefits for supply chain management :• An efficient AS/RS system helps companies cut expenses by

minimizing the amount of unnecessary parts and products in storage, and improving organization of the contents of a warehouse.

• Automation reduces labor costs while lowering workforce requirements and increasing safety.

• Modeling and managing the logical representation of the physical storage facilities. For example, if certain products are often sold together or are more popular than others, those products can be grouped together or placed near the delivery area to speed up the process of picking, packing and shipping to customers.

• Enabling a seamless link to order processing and logistics management in order to pick, pack, and ship product out of the facility.

Disadvantage • The confined reach has area limitation

Conclusion • AS/RS is in use and can be used many kinds of manufacturing

line & distribution centers.• Using AS/RS with proper design will produce above mentioned

many kinds of benefits
