Abstract
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are used in warehouse
expansions for companies of all sizes, often within an existing facility.
A recent AS/RS installation in the Heinrich Reissdorf brewery in Cologne,
Germany, added 33% more storage space to the already automated warehouse,
without disruption to the warehousing system that was in place. This paper
provides a case study example of an AS/RS installation.
Keywords: AS/RS, automated storage and retrieval system,
