Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (also referred to as ASRS systems) are most commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities. They typically replace large areas of shelving to save floor space, improve safety and increase productivity.

Armstrong’s innovations and technologies are revolutionizing the way a factory operates. Flow of data and computer controlled automation systems are part of each value addition area of the entire production chain, so are the various applications based software for managing them, resulting in higher production level at faster speeds with lower costs.

Asterope Mother-Baby Shuttle

A Mother-Baby shuttle, also known as Carrier-Shuttle system is a multi deep ASRS solution, generally employed for high density storage. The Mother carries baby along the rails perpendicular to the aisles on each floor. As per the requirement, the baby goes into the aisle to pick or place the pallet. The Mother-Baby shuttle then carries the pallet to outbound system like vertical lifts or conveyors.

How Asterope will make your life easy?

Asterope is uniquely crafted with European Standards (FEMH), the velocity and acceleration are optimized for high rack density as per the throughput requirement of the customer. At a time multiple Asteropes can work on the same floor to meet the high throughput requirement. When the throughput requirement is low, single Asterope can handle multiple floors, this gives high flexibility in operations and scope for future expansion.

Intelligent Storage

The automated hardware system of Asterope is integrated with intelligent software, which provides 100% visibility and accuracy. Armstrong software directs and monitors the systems. It tracks inventory locations and directs the movement of loads while fully integrating with intelligent software platforms.
