AUTOMATED STORAGE & RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Automated storage and retrieval systems, also known as ASRS, are designed for automated storage and retrieval of products, parts, and items with better precision, speed, and accuracy than manual retrieval. Automated storage solutions help manufacturing, warehouses, and distribution centers compete in a time of rapid technological advances.
Twinlode Automation integrates and implements unit load ASRS for warehouse facilities in various industries. We have decades of industry experience optimizing the supply chain.
ASRS provides fully automated solutions to help keep the flow of products across the entire supply chain while improving throughput. ASRS refers to the many computer-controlled, racking, and robotics systems for placing and retrieving loads from specific storage locations automatically. They can be designed to accommodate standard and nonstandard loads.

Automated Solutions
An efficient ASRS system provides significant cost savings to companies by minimizing the number of products in manual storage locations and maximizing the organization of the contents inside a warehouse. Implementing ASRS requires upfront costs for purchasing the system, completing system design and analysis, and possibly reconfiguring the facility to fit the system.
When compared to traditional pallet rack solutions, the cost of an ASRS can be significantly higher due to several factors:
Despite the higher investment for an automated storage and retrieval system, these systems can deliver incredible ROI by lowering operational costs, providing exceptional throughput, and yielding high density storage capability for your application.
The automated storage solutions at Twinlode Automation help warehouses work faster and more efficiently to reduce operational costs and keep up with demand. We have more than 40 years of industry experience and offer professional services for design, consultation, and implementation.
