New Technical Quarterly Paper Published

"A Warehouse Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) Case Study," by Laura Worker and Daniel Labell, has been published in the MBAA Technical Quarterly.

 

Abstract
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are used in warehouse expansions for companies of all sizes, often within an existing facility. A recent AS/RS installation in the Heinrich Reissdorf brewery in Cologne, Germany, added 33% more storage space to the already automated warehouse, without disruption to the warehousing system that was in place. This paper provides a case study example of an AS/RS installation.
