A heavy-duty ASRS usually fails at the load path long before it reaches its rated payload. Ton-class pallet automation, meaning systems that move pallets of 1,000 kg and above, is not a standard automated storage system with a larger number printed on the datasheet....

Smart warehouse automation for manufacturing plants rarely fails because the robots are slow. It fails because the storage system was designed around a distribution centre’s order profile while the plant runs on a production schedule. A factory warehouse has...

ASRS for distribution centers is usually sold on a device number: a shuttle travel speed, a crane cycle, a lift acceleration. None of those numbers tells a distribution center whether it will clear its carrier cut-off next November. The rate that matters is a system...

A cold storage ASRS is not an ambient system with a heater kit bolted on. At -25°C the design problem shifts from movement to material behaviour: grease stiffens, seals harden, battery charge acceptance falls, ordinary structural steel loses impact toughness, and any...

A semi-automatic pallet storage and retrieval system often beats a full ASRS on sites where the pallet flow is uneven, the building already stands, and a stopped machine would not stop the business. The choice turns on three quantities that equipment brochures do not...

Pallet storage systems are usually compared on density alone, and that is where many layouts go wrong. Block stacking, drive-in racking, pallet shuttle lanes and pallet flow racking differ on three points that decide the outcome: how freely a truck or a machine can...
