5 Questions to Ask Before Deploying an AS/RS System
Investing in an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) transforms storage density, but success requires careful planning.
Before selecting an AS/RS vendor, ask these 5 practical questions to protect your investment:
Non-Standard Handling: How does the system detect and manage damaged pallets or deformed totes before they jam the automated cranes?
Breakdown Recovery: What is the exact process to retrieve blocked stock if a shuttle or crane loses power inside a high rack aisle?
Software Flexibility: Is the Warehouse Control System (WCS) open and adaptable, or will you be locked into one software vendor for future expansions?
Floor Civil Requirements: Does your current concrete slab meet the strict floor levelness and load tolerances required for high-bay racks?
Local Maintenance Support: What is the local engineering response time and spare parts availability in your region when urgent repairs are needed?
Asking the right technical questions upfront prevents costly surprises during site installation and live operations.
