The working mechanism of an ASRS revolves around a network of automated cranes, conveyors, and lifts, all controlled by sophisticated software. The process starts when an item needs to be stored or retrieved. The system identifies the optimal storage location for the item, and a robotic arm or shuttle moves the item to or from a designated spot. For retrieval, the system identifies the location, fetches the item, and delivers it to the desired location, such as a loading dock or packaging area. This automation reduces human labor and minimizes errors, resulting in faster, more efficient operations.
