A Tailored ASRS For Your Warehouse

The main advantages of a typical automated storage and retrieval system are maximizing storage efficiency, including vertical space, and enhancing productivity. Many solutions significantly improve one of these aspects, but compromise on the others.

Raputa ASRS is designed to dramatically enhance both storage efficiency and productivity. There’s no longer a need to compromise on your solution.

Rapyuta ASRS is adaptive to any situations or changes

Adaptable to All Situations and Changes

With its anchorless structure and modular design, the Rapyuta ASRS allows for flexible layouts, making it easy to scale the ASRS as your business grows. Additionally, in these rapidly changing times, it can be relocated to other sites in the future, offering adaptability for years to come.

Rapyuta ASRS Robot Fleet Work At All The Floors

Robot Fleet Work At All The Floors

To consistently achieve high performance, it is essential to balance high storage efficiency with productivity. The Rapyuta ASRS features the industry’s thinnest robots, which, powered by multi-robot control AI , can access and collaborate across all floors and spaces, maximizing productivity.

Why Rapyuta ASRS?

Vs. AGV / AMR

AGVs and AMRs are commonly chosen to support picking operations. AGVs primarily handle point-to-point transport, while AMRs can adapt their routes and sequences on the fly. While these robots offer significant benefits in smaller warehouses, for spaces over 5,000 square feet, the Rapyuta ASRS can provide substantial improvements. By optimizing vertical space and reducing aisle space, storage efficiency is greatly enhanced, and productivity is boosted by minimizing walking time during picking operations.

Rapyuta ASRS is Ideal for:

  • Warehouses that require higher throughput
  • Larger spaces like over 5,000 square feet or areas with ample vertical space
AGVs / AMRs are ideal for smaller warehouses

Vs. Shelf-To-Person Robots

Shelf-To-Person Robots are relatively inexpensive and can reduce walking time for picking operations. However, since they transport entire shelves, there are limitations in transport speed and productivity, especially when picking from the same shelf in quick succession at multiple picking stations. They also have constraints in optimizing vertical space efficiency and require bigger space for aisles. With the Rapyuta ASRS, each robot transports a single bin, maximizing productivity and storage efficiency by requiring minimal aisles and unlocking full vertical space.

Rapyuta ASRS is Ideal for:

  • Warehouses that require higher throughput
  • Warehouses that require higher storage efficiency than racked storage like ones in urban areas
  • Warehouses for more frequently shipped items
Shelf-To Person or Goods-To-Person aka GTP Robots are normally ideal for warehouses that require lower throughput

Vs. ACR Systems

In the ACR system, while aisle space is sacrificed, vertical storage efficiency is significantly improved. Typically, during picking operations, a mechanical station receives cases from the robot shelves and transfers them to a conveyor for line-style picking. The factors affecting productivity include the time it takes for robots to move to each case location, the time required to retrieve the cases, and the time needed to unload at the picking station. In contrast, the Rapyuta ASRS targets a single bin, allowing robots to deliver bins directly to the picking station without the need for unloading before picking. Moreover, the robots don’t need to just wait their turn for picking.

While ACR systems require a separate picking area outside the storage zone, the Rapyuta ASRS integrates picking stations within the system itself. Our system uses fleet-controlled robots that avoid congestion at the picking stations and immediately move on to their next task after delivering a bin. This approach not only maximizes robot utilization but also ensures more efficient use of space.

Rapyuta ASRS is Ideal for:

  • Warehouses that need to make the most of their limited space like ones in urban areas
  • Warehouses that require higher throughput
ACR systems are normally ideal for warehouses that require lower throughput and slightly higher storage efficiency

Vs. Stacker Crane / Shuttle ASRS

Stacker crane and shuttle-type automated storage and retrieval systems are mechanical automated storage systems. While they offer the typical advantages of an ASRS, they are fixed installations that require extensive construction for implementation. Due to its design, it offers few benefits unless used in very tall and expansive warehouses. Also, stacker cranes, as the name implies, use cranes, which may require specific safety certifications and regular inspections.

Compared to the Rapyuta ASRS, the ASRS often provides better storage efficiency due to optimized aisle space utilization. Additionally, the Rapyuta ASRS includes standard features such as concentrated work design and error prevention functions at picking stations, and a sorting feature, often resulting in a lower initial cost.

Rapyuta ASRS is Ideal for:

  • Warehouses that require better ROI, higher throughput and storage efficiency
  • When you need sorting and sequential drop-off features without additional investments
Stacker cranes are ideal for spacious warehouses that require high throughput

Vs. Other Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

There are various types of robotic ASRS systems. One of the most common is the cubicle type, which excels in storage efficiency. However, this type does not offer the best throughput. The Rapyuta ASRS stands out for its unique combination of flexibility, scalability, and relocatability. An apples-to-apples comparison can often overlook these critical elements. Therefore, it’s essential to clearly define your requirements to focus on finding a solution that meets the requirements most rather than just comparing product features.
