AS/RS by Storage Density
Combining Single, Double or Multiple Deep AS/RS

 

GO GREEN with Westfalia's Flexible High Density AS/RS

 

Based on a comprehensive analysis of your warehouse needs, including fast, medium or slow moving products and FIFO access to all SKU's, Westfalia designs an AS/RS for your maximum storage density. Our expertise in combining single-deep or double-deep AS/RS with multiple-deep configurations -- in the same aisle and using the same S/RM -- are unique to the storage industry.

 

Westfalia's flexible designs are able, as needed, to store pallets or containers in multiple deep lanes from 1 to twelve deep, allowing the generation of efficient storage designs in existing "low bay warehouses" as well as new rack supported structures up to 140' high.

 

Flexible AS/RS Configurations:

Single Deep and Double Deep AS/RS work best with a larger range of items or SKU's that require instant accessibility to every unit load.  Multiple-Deep storage systems are beneficial for businesses handling a low to medium range SKUs, where inventory levels per SKU are higher (i.e. >10 pallets per SKU).  Multiple Deep AS/RS is a superior system when combining reserve storage and order picking requirements.

 

Finding the most efficient, storage maximizing design to fit each client's specific needs is our goal every time. 

 

Key Benefits of Combining Single, Double and Multiple Deep AS/RS:

  • Store SKU's in the configuration that best fits their product flows, utilizing the FIFO principle
  • Ability to store from 1 to 12 pallets/containers/cases deep in one aisle = a smaller building footprint = less impact to the environment AND construction cost savings
  • Energy savings - a taller, more efficient multiple deep warehouse saves up to 30% in cooling costs for refrigerated warehouses, PLUS automated warehouses require less lighting.
  • Regenerative braking on our Storage/Retrieval Machines (SRM's) which push energy back to the grid, saving more money and reducing the carbon footprint of the facility.
  • Savings generated from increased storage and order picking accuracy, reduced product damage/ waste costs
  • Reduced labor costs


Key Features:

  • Best use of space in relation to FIFO product flows & storage capacity
  • More economical as number of aisles is now throughput dependent, not storage dependent.
  • 1, 2 or 3 S/RM’s are often placed in one aisle providing high throughput and redundancy
  • Strict adherence to First In/First Out (FIFO) by lane
  • Store pallets in any orientation including variation in size and types
  • High Density Automatic Storage and Retrieval System with Chain Satellite® for plastic or wooden Pallets
  • High Density automated storage and retrieval system with Lift Satellite® for light pallets or paper rolls.
