Initially, the warehouse was organized for manual storage of goods using selective racks in a limited and relatively dense space. The system was disorganized, leading to issues such as ‘unable to find items, incomplete orders, or incorrect items picked,’ among others. Additionally, the workflow involved redundant steps due to the limited warehouse space. Once production was completed, products had to be transported to another storage area,increasing costs related to labor, equipment, material handling, and warehouse rental.

AEI proposed removing the existing storage racks and upgrading the building’s floor. Since increasing storage capacity also increases the load, additional excavation was necessary to modify the building’s structure, including adding new foundation piles and beams. The plan was to prepare the site for installing an ASRS system to ensure efficient operation. We selected an SRM with Shuttle (Crane with Shuttle) system, allowing storage in a depth of up to 10 pallets. The shuttle’s battery can be charged automatically, and an automatic pallet handling system was added at the front to efficiently receive products from the production line. The system also improved accuracy in receiving goods by incorporating barcode scanning, weighing, and dimension measurement, fully addressing all previous warehouse management issues comprehensively.
