Product transportation methods to and from the AS/RS
Interfacing transportation systems
route product to and from Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems. Transportation
systems can include conveyor, monorail, or Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS).
The system choice must match the throughput capabilities of the AS/RS, and it
must coordinate the AS/RS input and output process. From frozen food storage,
to pallet handling systems, to work-in-process operations, Dematic can provide
a complete, integrated AS/RS Interfacing transportation system.
Product size and type, as well as routing, and throughput needs are some of the
factors that determine the type of interfacing equipment to be used. Routing
demands and throughput rates are also key considerations. Complex automated systems
are computer driven and may interface with Warehouse Management Systems.
Interfacing systems include:
- Conveyor systems
- Automatic Guided Vehicle systems (AGVS)
- Monorail systems
- Inverted monorail systems
