AS/RS Technology in Today’s Business Environment
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems continue to be a strategic weapon of choice for successful companies around the globe.
To reduce staffing, improve performance and maintain accuracy, mission critical facilities use AS/RS in a broad variety of applications including:
Manufacturing
Modern applications of AS/RS in a production environment provide sequencing, work-in-process
(WIP) storage and just-in-time (JIT) part delivery
with perfect inventory accuracy.
Archival & Security
The need for very dense inaccessible storage with quick retrieval time has many university libraries turning to AS/RS technology. This technology
stores vaults and valued material in a highly secure, environmentally controlled automated warehouse.
Electronics
AS/RS technology provides a controlled environment for component storage and electronic burn-in processes. The system can provide automatic electric
connections, time the process and move it to the next operation without manual input. Variance data can be easily collected and analyzed for process
improvements.
Food & Beverage
From complex order selection systems to huge 250,000+ full pallet unit load systems, HK Systems is an industry leader with creative solutions for food &
beverage manufacturers and grocery distribution in environments that range from wet to dry and ambient to frozen.
Conventional Warehousing
Businesses are finding the HK3000/RF Rotating Fork (RF) storage and retrieval machine a great value when automating their conventional racking systems.
The HK3000/RF handles pallets in the fork pockets and interfaces with standard post & beam rack. AS/RS technology can now be applied to your existing warehouse as well.
