To get right parts, pallets, fixtures, and tools to the right place at the right time, an efficient
system for their storage and retrieval together with a material transportation system is required.
An integrated FMS, AGVS, and AS/RS system provides an efficient production system for
manufacturing low- to medium- volume and middle- to high-variety products.
Why an AS/RS?
1. An AS/RS is highly space efficient. Space now occupied by raw stock, work in process, or
finished parts and assemblies can be released for valuable manufacturing space.
2. Increased storage capacity to meet long-range plans.

Type of AS/RS
Unit load AS/RS: is used to store and retrieve loads that are palletized or stored in standardsize containers.
Mini-load AS/RS: is designed to handle small loads such as individual parts, tools, and
supplies. The system is suitable for use where there is a limit on the amount of space that
can be utilized and where the volume is too low for a full-scale unit load system and tool
high for a manual system
Person-on-board AS/RS: allows storage of items in less than unit load quantities.
Deep-lane AS/RS: is another variation on the unit load system. The items are stored in multideep storage with up to 10 items per row rather than single or double deep. This leads to a
high density of stored items.
