Abstract:- Automated Storage and retrieval System is An AS/RS can be used with standard loads as well as
known as ASRS which is controlled by a mechanical nonstandard loads, meaning that each standard load can fit in a
system. ASRS can be shown in the complete operation uniformly-sized volume; for example the tools in a company

different directions based on X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. II. AS/RS DESIGN
ASRS proved its efficient work in world organizations and
in world libraries using the specific mechanical motors. In Major component of system

storing and retrieving only . so in order to compensate the
wastage of time automated storage systems are used.
They consists of a variety of computer-controlled
systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from
defined storage locations. Automated storage and retrieval
systems (AS/RS) are typically used in applications where.
Large quantity of loads being moved into and out of
storage.
There is a space constraint for storage density.
When the motive is only storing and retrieving.
The materials are expensive that require precise
movement.

Storage and Retrieval System with Multiple In the Aisle
This research summarizes our attempt at designing an Pick Positions", B.S. Shahid Beheshti University, 2007.
Automated Storage and Retrieval System. The most optimum
design and methodologies have been presented here. This can
be further used to make working models of what is now on
paper. Variations in the design as per requirement can be
done, with proper implementation of mechanical and
electronic components, variety of automation can be achieved,
which can be as complex, versatile. This model can serve as a
reference for various applications, some of which are
automatic car parking system, automatic baggage handling for
loading/unloading at airports, inventory and raw material
management in large industries, automated parcel sorting in
postal services, books management.
