Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) are revolutionizing warehouse operations, and HERO Intelligent is driving the intelligent upgrading of industry logistics.

AS/RS, also known as automated storage or intelligent warehouses, represent a new type of warehouse model distinct from traditional flat-floor warehouses. By constructing multi-tiered shelving systems, AS/RS expands storage capacity from horizontal to vertical space. Within AS/RS facilities, multi-tiered shelves are neatly arranged, and stackers can navigate aisles with precision to perform storage and retrieval operations; pallets and containers circulate orderly under the coordination of the conveying system, while the management system acts as the “brain,” using computer software to centrally control equipment, ensuring automated inbound/outbound operations and real-time inventory monitoring, making warehouse management transparent and efficient.

HERO Intelligent has accumulated extensive practical experience in the implementation of AS/RS. In collaboration with a cosmetics packaging company, Hangrui Intelligent developed a semi-finished product automated AS/RS system for them. The project is located in a temperature-controlled clean environment, with a total height of 5.6 meters, 8,136 storage locations, and equipped with intelligent devices such as double-reach stackers and conveyors. The combination of high-rise AS/RS and double-reach stackers significantly improves the vertical space utilization of the warehouse; the collaborative operation of intelligent logistics equipment achieves automatic storage and retrieval of semi-finished products and rapid circulation, significantly improving operational efficiency while reducing labor costs. Utilizing RFID technology, the system automatically reads semi-finished product entry and exit information, enhancing both data accuracy and operational efficiency. The application of AGVs enables automated distribution between the automated warehouse and production/packaging workshops, improving distribution efficiency and operational safety while reducing labor transportation costs. Additionally, the system seamlessly integrates with the MES system, providing real-time data updates and feedback to support informed business decisions.

The advantages of AS/RS continue to be highlighted across various industries. In first-tier cities with high land costs,AS/RS can save 50%-70% of floor space, making it a key tool for companies to reduce operational costs. For cross-border e-commerce businesses with over 1,000 daily inbound and outbound transactions requiring 24/7 continuous operations, as well as the pharmaceutical industry with stringent inventory accuracy requirements, the high-frequency and high-precision operational characteristics of automated warehouses can effectively meet these needs. They not only streamline complex supply chain management and enhance efficiency but also effectively address industry pain points such as high labor costs and recruitment challenges.

From an industry applicability perspective, the application scope of automated warehouses is extensive. In the manufacturing sector, automotive, electronics, and machinery manufacturing companies deal with a wide variety of raw materials and components that require frequent turnover. Automated storage and retrieval systems can significantly optimize supply chain management. In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and food and beverage industries, where there are numerous SKUs and large batch sizes, and high requirements for sorting efficiency, automated storage and retrieval systems are an optimal choice for warehouse optimization. In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, where strict temperature, humidity, and batch management requirements are in place, automated storage and retrieval systems can reduce human error and ensure product quality and safety. In the logistics and e-commerce sectors, third-party logistics companies must handle goods from multiple clients and categories. During e-commerce promotional periods, order volumes surge, highlighting the advantages of AS/RS high throughput capacity and flexible scheduling capabilities. In the cold chain industry, AS/RS provide stable temperature-controlled environments for fresh produce and pharmaceuticals, reducing energy consumption while minimizing manual operations.

As logistics and manufacturing continue to upgrade,AS/RS have become an essential component of modern logistics systems. HERO Intelligent will continue to uphold an innovative philosophy, focus on the warehousing needs of various industries, and continuously optimize AS/RS technology and solutions to provide more enterprises with efficient and intelligent warehousing support. This will help industries accelerate their progress in the warehousing and logistics sector and jointly drive the intelligent transformation of the modern warehousing industry.
