AS/RS Systems: High-Density, Automated Storage & Retrieval
Boost accuracy, reclaim warehouse space, and increase throughput with a modern AS/RS system. At Vertical Storage USA, we deliver high-density automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) tailored to the unique demands of today’s operations.
Whether you’re upgrading a facility or designing a new layout, our scalable AS/RS systems help streamline material flow and inventory control with minimal labor.
What Is an AS/RS System?
An AS/RS system (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) is a fully automated solution for storing, organizing, and retrieving inventory. Instead of manual picking, these systems use cranes, shuttles, carousels, or vertical lifts to move goods efficiently in a compact footprint.
Popular across manufacturing, aerospace, and distribution, AS/RS systems reduce labor, boost order accuracy, and improve inventory visibility — making them essential for the modern ASRS warehouse.
- Replaces manual picking
- Minimizes inventory errors
- Saves up to 85% of floor space
- Scales with warehouse growth and automation goals
Types of AS/RS Systems
We specialize in designing and implementing a wide range of ASRS systems — each one built for a specific workflow, space, and picking requirement.
Modular machines that automatically deliver trays to an ergonomic access window. A great option for parts storage, manufacturing kitting, and maintenance inventory.
Motorized systems with rotating trays that bring items to waist level. Ideal for ASRS automation in service counters or compact warehouse areas.
Side-by-side rotating shelves built for high-volume SKU access. Common in retail, healthcare, and light manufacturing.
Mini-Load AS/RS
High-speed ASRS systems that use shuttles or cranes to handle totes and trays. Designed for rapid order picking in e-commerce and fulfillment environments.
Shuttle-Based AS/RS
Robotic shuttles retrieve goods from high-density racking. These ASRS storage systems are perfect for carton or case picking at scale.
ASRS-style systems that deliver items directly to the operator. Reduces walk time and increases order accuracy.
