For many industries, an automated storage and retrieval systems help streamline processes and make drastic improvements in turnover. There are multiple suppliers of such automated systems in the market, however, it becomes tough for someone not experienced in the field to select one. This is where PREVALENT SCM steps in. We are attuned to the industry, are always aware of new advancements in technology and follow a consultative approach when it comes to such projects. Each provider of AS and RS has provisions for multiple functionalities and technologies, so a careful assessment and strategic planning, helps you go a long way. You will find a plethora of high speed systems, systems aimed at optimizing vertical space, systems made for mini-load as well as unit loads. Then there are choices between a crane based or carousel system. Choices are aplenty and thus you need the right partner to help you make the right choice.

Selecting the Perfect ASRS Partner

Instead of choosing a specific manufacturer, whose tendency might be to suggest the most expensive system made by them, it makes more sense to simply choose an aggregator who follows a consultative approach to suggesting systems. The benefit here is that you get to scan several systems, basis a thorough cost-benefit analysis conducted by the experts and then take a decision that positively affects your top & bottom-line. Here are some of the systems that we work with, while implementing automated storage and retrieval systems for our clients.

  • Vertical Lift Sequencer (VLS)
  • Unit Load Stacker Cranes
  • Mini Load Cranes
  • Shuttle Systems
  • Carousels with Inserter Extractors
  • Goods to Man Systems

Given our expertise in a cross section of industries, we understand that smart selection of the right tools can go a long way in ensuring that the money invested give you a good return. Additionally, we customize it to your needs instead of trying to fit an existing system into your process.

Selecting the Perfect Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)

A quick changing industrial environment and the need for rapid adaptability demands that companies work towards reduced inventory, maximized labor efficiency and a very high return on capital investments. Companies especially core manufacturers require systems that help store raw material, blue prints, files, WIP material and finished goods in an automated manner. We help clients select systems which help reduce the labor costs and improve the throughput. Most ASRS systems are complex, however, the right consultant helps you simplify automation projects for you such that implementation is easy.

Maximizing Labor Efficiency

In a future world, most systems in a factory would be fully automized. However, where we stand, there needs to be symbiotic flow and balance between labor and the way they handle automatic systems. In today’s systems, the flow, automation, the labor, throughput and SKU management, all work hand in hand. We at PREVALENT SCM work at making this integration effective, while subsequently bringing down labor costs.

Redefining Cube Utilization

Efficient utilization of space translates into double the material being stored in the same area. Our careful planning ensures that space is optimized and there is accurate tracking of items. Further, smaller the space, the lesser time it takes for retrieval. When it comes to automated systems, small cubes translate into better results.

Return on Investment

While investing in automated storage and retrieval systems, companies need to ensure that they have a high ROI and pay for themselves at least at the end of two years. Steps can be taken to reduce capital costs so that the ROI is even faster. These include eliminating the need for new construction, taking on some tasks in-house. As your partner on such projects, we keep ROI as one of our key performance indicators.

Customized Implementation

The objective of bringing on a partner to implement your ASRS system for you, is to achieve a high degree of customization. The market today is highly evolved, giving us a plethora of choices. With every project, we ensure, we pick and mold the right elements for you, so that you always ahead of competition and maximize your returns from such projects.
