Development of Automatic Storage Retrieval System for Variable Loads

Abstract

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) have been widely used in warehousing systems to speed up load movements and save storage space. ASRS is an integrated system that is equipped with a controller and arm for the collection and storage of goods. This paper discusses the results of developing a system for taking and storing goods for various loads. The prototype element consists of a mechanism for retrieving, placing and application for data collection into the database. In this research, the design and development of ASRS was carried out to be applied in the storage of products of various sizes which is suitable for small size industries. The development process includes investigating features that have been developed in the ASRS, operating procedures, hardware selection and software development in accordance with the mechanism designed. Numerical control which moves the carrier element with high resolution is applied to be able to place the load in a changing position. Development and testing is carried out to ensure the performance of the tool runs well and the data storage that includes the identification and size of the load can be recorded properly.

“…

Warehouse is a place to store finished products [1], [2]. In industry, after the product is assembled and packaged, the product is moved to the warehouse for storage until there is a request from the customer [3]. The development of technology in the industrial world is so fast and is followed by an increasingly high level of competition.

“…The warehouse has an important role in the storage of raw materials and finished products, where there has been a transition from manual storage to automatic storage. Warehouse management includes receiving activities [5], maintenance activities, distribution activities, control activities, and reporting [3]. Generally, product storage is carried out based on classification.…”
