AS/RS stacker crane system for high‑density inventory management

Conventional forklift‑operated warehouses need wide working aisles (3.5‑4m), which waste plenty of usable area.

AS/RS stacker cranes only require narrow‑aisle space. Warehouse space‑utilization rate rises from about 30% of flat storage to 75%‑85%. You can store twice‑to‑three‑fold goods within your existing plant without building new workshops. This greatly cuts your real‑estate investment, the biggest long‑term expense for modern warehouses.

Working together with WMS‑WCS system, the stacker crane records each pallet’s real‑time location, batch number, production date and stock quantity during every access movement.

There will be no miscounting, mis‑picking or lost inventory caused by manual registration. The system supports first‑in‑first‑out (FIFO) and first‑expire‑first‑out (FEFO) inventory rules. You will get 100%‑transparent inventory data and achieve scientific high‑density inventory management.

After deploying our AS/RS stacker crane system, you no longer need a large team of forklift drivers and warehouse operators. Only a small number of office‑side workers monitor the whole system.

Labor costs are reduced by 60%‑70% in the long‑run, which helps you cope with the global‑wide labor‑shortage problem in 2026. Meanwhile, automated operation avoids safety risks such as forklift collisions and worker injuries.

High‑speed stacker cranes run steadily at travelling speed up to 180m/min. It can carry out multiple‑task schedules around‑the‑clock (24‑h operation).

Compared with manual handling, the daily in‑and‑out‑warehouse capacity increases significantly. Even with densely‑arranged racking layout, the system still maintains fast picking efficiency, supporting your business expansion without enlarging warehouse area.
