When should a warehouse choose ASRS instead of AMRs?
ASRS is ideal when:
-
Storage density is a critical priority
-
Throughput must scale without adding labor
-
Operations handle small bins, totes, or standardized cartons
-
Workers should not enter the storage area (security/safety)
-
Space constraints require vertical expansion
If your primary goal is maximizing space and increasing order picking efficiency, ASRS is typically the better fit.
