A few years ago, there was a discussion about an alternative method of increasing productivity and efficiency within your facility, and automation was one of the topics that was discussed.

The COVID-19 pandemic could not have been predicted in the manner in which Storage And Retrieval did, and it has altered the landscape of all industries as a result. Consumer purchasing patterns in certain sectors of the market, such as the food industry, changed dramatically as more and more people chose to stay at home. As a result, the amount of goods available to consumers increased as well. More consumers than ever before are choosing to spend their time at home, and as consumers become more aware of the convenience of online shopping, the practice is becoming increasingly popular. This is posing significant challenges for companies that provide order fulfillment services. There is a similar effect to the domino effect across all industries. Consumer purchasing habits have changed, and the only practical way to keep up with demand is through automation.

Automation that is both better and more secure

1. What are the advantages that automation brings to a business

2. The return on investment (ROI) appears to be favorable

3. What if you want to automate while you're still in business

4. However, there is one simple answer: you will not be able to keep up unless you automate your workflows

5. Examine a few different types of Automated Storage And Retrieval System solutions

6. Once upon a time, it was just in time

7. Unfortunately, just in time has become too late for today's demands, causing suppliers to stockpile more inventory in order to keep up with the rising demand

8. The question is, how can we accomplish this while also becoming more efficient and productive, as well as making our operations safer and faster

9. Please take a look at the following

    

Pallet Automated Storage And Retrieval System systems that can accommodate a large number of pallets

If you only have a limited number of SKUs available, this is a fantastic concept. Pallets are stored in close proximity to one another in each aisle, with the operators only working at the ends of each aisle (thus eliminating the need for any travel aisles) and only working at the ends of each aisle. In order to accomplish this, an automated shuttle system is utilized. There is no limit to the number of pallets that can be placed on each lane; pallets are placed on the front edge of the racks and automatically shuttled to a desired depth (there is no limit to the length of the lanes). There is no limit to the number of pallets that can be placed on each lane. In general, pallets are placed approximately one pallet apart from each other. With the push of a button, the shuttle will reverse the process, allowing you to remove the pallets from the vehicle and place them elsewhere. In terms of stock keeping units (SKUs) or staging outbound pallets for shipment, increasing your pallet count while maintaining the same footprint is as simple as repurposing space. The benefits of using a automated storage system are that it is faster, more efficient, more productive, safer, and that it provides a very quick return on investment (ROI). To service the shuttle vehicles, elevator trucks or automated systems can be used if necessary.
