Automated Storage & Retrieval Engineered Systems

AS/RS Engineering & Design

Not every material handling company has the experience and engineering staff to handle complicated designs of such an advanced system as an automated storage and retrieval system.  UNARCO Engineers have worked with integrators and manufacturers to insure the tight tolerances of this highly-engineered system creates the value to maximize distribution center efficiency .

AS/RS system engineering provides efficient automated staging and transportation of pallets or cases. Bulk goods can be stored using AS/RS engineering technology to minimize labor and improve order picking accuracy. Tight vertical spacing allows for efficient utilization of warehouse space and enormous benefits.

From design conception to CAD drawings and design integration with all other warehouse components, UNARCO solves your AS/RS system engineering issues. Experienced engineers and designers calculate the most cost-effective automated storage and retrieval system based on years of engineering and know-how and attention to AS/RS design details. AS/RS Systems engineering technology is helping to reduce staffing and improve accuracy in manufacturing, food and beverage, standard warehousing, and archival environments.

The complex order selection systems for full pallet loads or unit load AS/RS systems required within a warehouse operate within UNARCO pallet racking. The durability and design of the UNARCO rack allows storage and retrieval machines to have room to transport goods to and from their location and high-capacity components store items safely. Smaller AS/RS Systems are called Mini Load AS/RS Systems, have loads of less than 1000 pounds, and are moved in cartons, totes, or cases.

Technology and a controlled environment make a very dense warehouse accessible via automation. UNARCO structures support this technology like a skeleton with engineered system designs that are sturdy enough to support product and retrieval machinery.

Pallets require less space because they are set in place by automatic guided vehicles that maneuver the racking with precision movement.

System Highlights:

Engineered systems from UNARCO are more efficient and increase distribution throughput. Our engineers are experienced in design of:

  • Unit Load AS/RS

  • Mini-Load AS/RS

  • Micro-Load AS/RS

  • Pallet Shuttle AS/RS

Imagine a warehouse where forklifts are not swirling around moving inventory throughout the building. Instead, technology-based, innovative cranes and shuttles operate in the dark with minimal human interaction, cutting down on injuries, safety claims, and errors. UNARCO Pallet Rack is the backbone of integrated systems that move loads automatically to the picking point using real-time information. Simplify inventory management and control stock with a custom-designed AS/RS application.
