An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) combines equipment and controls to handle, store and retrieve materials or products as needed with precision, accuracy and speed under a defined degree of automation. 

The project is set to break ground on the first phase of construction this spring and will include a 281,849 square foot temperature-controlled warehouse.

This company is in the midst of a $180 million expansion, with seven state-of-the-art production lines in a 270,000-square-foot addition to the existing Caseyville facility, increasing automated warehousing and robotics.

Many warehouses and distribution centers suffer from fragmented processes with operational decisions made by manual planners who rely heavily on tribal knowledge. 

Spanning nearly 20 million cubic feet with over 62,000 pallet positions, the distribution center’s innovations provide new levels of operational efficiency and reliability via automation.

The companies announced a partnership to provide robotic solutions to help grocery, e-commerce and retail customers meet the demands of today’s connected consumers.

Rytec Corporation has introduced a new addition to its fabric product line – the Sure-Seal Conveyor Door. This new door is uniquely designed for automated storage and retrieval environments (ASRS). Combining speeds of up to 100”/second and an energy-efficient R-4 insulated panel, it helps maintain secure separation within and between storage areas and conveyor operations.

The new UltraStore Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) from Integrated Systems Design, Wixom, Mich., provides up to 85% space savings for refrigerated and frozen food items, cases, pallets and custom materials with unique sizes and dimensions.
