As part of a greenfield plant expansion, our customer requested support for the design of an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). In a first step, the projected storage demand, the required retrieval performance, material flows and interfaces to IT as well as to the plant conveyor system were to be identified and mapped. Based on this conceptual information, an RFP was to be developed and sent to multiple ASRS vendors. Through a comprehensive vendor evaluation and value engineering process, the best-fit ASRS solution was to be selected for implementation.
