When mini-loads and unit load automated storage and retrieval systems are too expensive, can’t store and retrieve what your organization requires, can’t get an acceptable ROI, don’t want to dig into your facilities concrete flooring, want to be able to modify the system easily in the future, need guaranteed up time accessibility to inventory, requires too much operator training and maintenance staffing or simply doesn’t match up to your application or facilities specifications and requirements… the Mid-Load AS/RS system is likely a great candidate.
The Mid-Load AS/RS system uniquely utilizes a crane that rides on the surface. No cutting or permanently embedding the track into your facility’s floor. The system utilizes a blend of non-proprietary and off the shelf components to provide a tremendous value in both the initial acquisition cost and cost of ownership. Its compact design saves up to 85% of floor space while maintaining flexibility. Systems can easily be expanded or even relocated as future requirements evolve.
