Common Warehouse Challenges
Warehouses nowadays face a myriad of challenges that can significantly affect their profitability. These include:
- Limited warehouse space
- Low operational efficiency
- Rising operational costs
- Labour shortage
- Unpredictable demand fluctuations
Are you recognising any of these challenges in your current warehouse operations?
Explore how warehouse automation technologies such ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems) can be a powerful tool for your company, helping you streamline operations, cut costs and stay competitive in the market.
Introducing ASRS
(Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems)
-
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
ASRS represent a broad category of technology designed to automatically place and retrieve goods from defined storage locations.
-
Automated Case-handling Robots (ACR)
ACRs are a specific type of ASRS technology designed to handle cases of goods within a warehouse. These robots retrieve and storecases in high-density storage systems. ACRs work by automatically navigating to the designated location, retrieving the case, and delivering it to a picking station or another specified area.
-
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
AMRs are versatile robots that operate autonomously within the warehouse environment. They are often used for transporting goods from one area to another, supporting tasks such as picking, sorting, and replenishing stock.
ASRS can increase user efficiency up to 6 times, by:
- Increasing Throughput:
By speeding up product retrieval times, they reduce bottlenecks and accelerate order fulfilment.
- Enhancing Accuracy:
Automate the storing and retrieving of goods, reducing manual labor and human error.
- Streamlining Inventory Management:
Integrate with warehouse management systems (WMS) for real-time inventory tracking, ensuring precise handling and preventing overstocking.
Warehouse automation solutions boost storage density, allowing you to store more products without the need for renting additional warehouse space.
Hai Robotics' ACRs can help free significant space by:
- Picking and storing products on tall shelves, being able to reach up to 12 m in height
- Easily navigating through narrow aisle.
and obtain fast ROI
By adopting automated systems such as ACRs (Autonomous Case-Handling Robots) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), companies can see a fast ROI, due to the boost in efficiency and the multiple cost saving oportunities, including the optimisation of product handling, reduced storage space costs, less inventory errors, and decreasing workplace accidents.
