In its report, titled “Automated
Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size,
Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023,” Transparency Market Research
studies in detail the global market for automated storage and retrieval
systems. The report provides insights into the growth drivers and restraints
impacting the market’s growth trajectory between 2015 and 2023.
Automated
storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are new inventory management systems that
find use in manufacturing centers, warehouses, and in distribution facilities
around the world. AS/RS systems include machines that can move one or several
parallel storage aisles in downward and upward directions. AS/RS systems also
help in storing and retrieving materials for distribution to external and
internal destinations.
The system
offers several advantages. For instance, it provides users with increased
inventory control and better flexibility to adjust according to dynamic
business conditions. Automated storage and retrieval systems include modular
subsystems that are easily replaceable to enhance the service life of the
overall system. Installing automated storage and retrieval systems also helps
in reducing workforce requirements, labor costs, removing personnel from
environments with extreme working conditions, and increasing the overall safety
of the manufacturing units. Most importantly, AS/RS systems help manufacturing
facilities substantially save on the cost incurred in inventory storage by
providing improved utilization of horizontal and vertical warehouse space,
thereby generating large storage density.
The global
market for AS/RS systems is segmented into assembly, order picking, kitting,
storage, and distribution on the basis of functions performed. Based on type,
the market is segmented into mini load, unit load, shuttle, and carousel. As
the mass consumption of goods continues to grow around the world, companies
have started realizing the importance of deploying advanced technologies to
meet the changing consumer preferences. Hence, organizations are looking to
partner with providers who can help them transition from traditionally run
units to automated facilities, which could enable them yield increased
revenues.
With
manufacturing facilities globally seeking optimum utilization of space and
labor, the demand for deploying the latest technologies will rise, subsequently
boosting the global AS/RS systems market. These systems offer improved
productivity and efficiency in the supply chain process. Furthermore, the
widespread deployment of automation solutions in material handling across
industries is also giving impetus to the global market for automated storage
and retrieval systems.
