Learn how to best implement automated storage and retrieval systems in this free webinar. Credit: AutoStore
Automated storage and retrieval systems, or ASRS, promise high levels of efficiency for facilities that need to increase capacity or throughput without investing in real estate or scarce labor. But the cost and complexity of adoption can be intimidating to warehouse operators new to robotics.
Along with the latest mobile robots, picking systems, and conveyance, ASRS is becoming central to scalable fulfillment that maximizes the value of human associates and robots.
In this free webinar at 12:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, you can learn about how much infrastructure and process change is necessary when adopting automated storage and retrieval systems. Attendees can also learn how the latest ASRS setups can handle items unique to their supply chains.
AutoStore and Kardex, a leading ASRS provider and an integrator, respectively, will also explain how grid-based storage is adapting to new markets, from cold storage for grocery or pharmaceuticals to racks for apparel. In addition, learn how hardware and software can provide real-time data and insights, improve ergonomics, and harmonize product flow across facilities.
In this webinar, you can learn more about:
- Currently available automated storage and retrieval options and configurations
- How ASRS has evolved to increase reliability, flexibility, and throughput.
- Best practices for training staffers and working with other automation.
- The role of data and software integration.
