Fully and semi-automated solutions for your pallet storage and picking requirements.

1. Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)

Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are designed to minimise your operating footprint while maximising your throughput, accuracy and efficiency.

Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are responsible for the automated handling of pallets and are controlled by sophisticated Warehouse Control Systems (WCS). The WCS can integrate with existing Warehouse Management Software (WMS) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. It can also operate as a stand-alone system.

While there is often a greater initial investment, these systems usually have a return on investment (ROI) of around 2-5 years.

A properly designed and implemented Palletised ASRS has benefits such as;

• Fully automated storage
• Storage height up to 45 metres
• Reduced storage footprint
• Pallet loads up to 2000kg
• Control of pallet movements
• Fast, Accurate and Quiet operating

2. Satellite Systems

Satellite systems are designed for applications with high a volume of palletised stock but a low volume of stock keeping units (SKU’s). Satellite Systems can be Semi or Fully automated depending on the required application.

These systems can be configured as;

• First In First Out (FIFO) for applications where expiry of products is a consideration
• First In Last Out (FILO) for applications where storage density is the main priority and expiry of product doesn’t come in to consideration

Satellite Systems can be design and implemented in stages to soften the transition from traditional manual pallet handling techniques and spread the initial cost of the system.

Key Benefits;

• Dense storage footprint
• Increased productivity
• WH & S compliant
• Reduce operating costs

3. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV’s)

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV’s) are utilised to autonomously transport or transfer products throughout your warehouse or Distribution Centre (DC) dispensing the need for operators.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV’s) have the capacity to;

• Reduce Costs
• Optimize performance and Accuracy
• Operate 24hours per day
• Standardise operating procedures
• Interact with pedestrians safely
• Implement into existing operations quickly

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV’s) are controlled by;

• Lasers
• Magnetic ground strips
• Optical sensors
