'''Automated Storage and Retrieval System''' or [[ASRS]] machines automatically handle pallet loads, rolls or containers. Pallet handling machines use lifting carriages with telescopic forks and cabs. Single or double deep loads can be accommodated. Alternatively, pre-engineered extraction/insertion devices are available to suit your product type and size. Large products are handled gently and consistently.
 
 
==Common Components==
The automated storage and retrieval system is made up of four main components:
===Automated Stacker Crane with Racking===
The stacker crane is the device in charge of performing the location and extraction operations of the boxes in the rack system, along with transporting and depositing them in the P&D station of the warehouse. Stacker cranes move in two ways: longitudinally, up and down the aisle guided on a rail, and vertically, when locating the boxes in the different levels and/or depths of the rack.
 
===The P&D Station (Picking & Delivery)===
The P&D station or the picking and handling area is located at the front of side of the racking and performs the mechanical movements to bring the boxes to the operator, or to the stacker crane so that the he/she can collect them and put them back in the warehouse. It is made up of a series of conveyors that communicate between work positions and the stacker crane, speeding up the system’s entry and exit of goods. The two systems of transportation are either rollers or belts.
 
===Computer Management System===
The management system controls all the storage actions, optimizing the time and use of space in the warehouse. Its implementation and level of connectivity make it the perfect tool for the unification of the warehouse with the ERP of the client. Its software facilitates the management of processes and enables easy access to all the information.
 
===Load Unit- Mini-load warehouses===
Load Unit- Mini-load warehouses can be built to store plastic totes or bins for both standard and non-standard sizes. Metal or cardboard boxes can also be used. The ideal load unit is a function of the product to be stored.
==Typical Specifications==
Automated warehouse systems enable a range of options to be incorporated including multiple aisles, multiple work stations, P&D station with front of side entry, several types of load units, various extraction systems, heights up to 49 feet, loads up to 330 lbs., length of installation more than 131 feet, management system of multiple warehouses, adaptation of custom-designed software, adaptation of hardware to the clients needs, fitting of side picking with "pick to light" and different levels of picking.
 
The elements that make up an automated warehouse for boxes include: racking, boxes, stacker crane (single or double depth), single-position P&D station (front or side), bottom & top guides, safety systems, electrical and control boxes, communication systems via infrared, programmable robot, IT server with TFT screen, control/touch screen, wireless scanner, printer of reports or labels, weighing device, Vahle electrical system for horizontal/vertical travel, 6-1/2 feet high perimeter safety fences, warning lights and alarms, management system with basic functions, assembly/installation, start-up and training.
