AS - RS

Today in distribution labor costs workmans comp and wage rates are at an all time high. The labor force is shrinking and the demand for warehouse work force for order selectors, lift truck drivers, dock labor etc are increasing. Automation of labor functions in the warehouse today are cost justifiable and provide a steady stream of consistant labor throught your work shifts. AS/RS systems for unitload (pallet load) and miniload (cases) cranes can be utilized within the specific warehouse functions. The cost to automate whether you just add a unitload crane or a miniload for case picking is at an all time low with technology break throughs that provide in-expensive hardware driving the systems. Unitload cranes can provide full pallet movement from reserve storage locations to pick slots or simply move full pallets to a pick up and delivery location cut the human labor or touch out of shipping costs. The cost payback periods for a high volume system can easily be in the 12-18 month range depending on the amount of automation and number of laborers you wish to replace. Technology for the systems are now more modular and can interface with existing storage racking systems and WMS systems you are currently using.
