Inventory Storage Requirements

Why This Matters
Modular bins enable adaptable storage. Rapyuta ASRS optimizes inventory at the bin level—not just by location, improving storage density, slotting accuracy, and retrieval efficiency. Bins offer configurable height options and adjustable slot layouts to support different SKU profiles.
Modular Scaling
Traditional ASRS systems are built as fixed structures, making expansion disruptive. Rapyuta ASRS is built with modular structural units, enabling phased scaling as demand grows—without downtime or layout changes.

Order Profiles

Handle Demand Spikes
If lines/orders spike 2× for 3 weeks, how many extra pickers do you hire? Rapyuta ASRS = change the system settings. Software shifts priorities from max density → max throughput for 3 weeks, then reverts—without physical changes.
Consistent Throughput
Maintain high-volume order processing with automated precision. Rapyuta ASRS delivers consistent line-level throughput regardless of order complexity or seasonal variations.

Operational Conditions

Reduce Overhead
More shifts = higher utility & operational costs. ASRS: higher productivity, fewer shifts, lower overhead. Based on operational requirements, achieve more with less.
Optimize Productivity
Standard shift duration for calculating labor requirements and productivity. Rapyuta ASRS maximizes output per shift through intelligent automation.
Operational Flexibility
Number of operational days per week. ASRS maintains consistent performance regardless of weekly operational patterns.
Labor Dependency
Current number of manual pickers required per shift. Rapyuta ASRS reduces labor dependency by 50% while maintaining or increasing throughput.

Facility Constraints

Maximize Vertical Space
Manual rack-based storage uses only ~1/3 of your warehouse volume. Rapyuta ASRS uses up to 80%, turning unused height into usable storage and cutting floor space by more than half.

Regional Cost Parameters

Labor Market Reality
Manual ops face 10–30% labour gaps, higher attrition and longer onboarding times. Rapyuta ASRS maintains productivity by reducing labour dependency by 50% and enabling faster onboarding.
Cost Per Line
Manual: High cost per line, with 40–60% of labor time spent walking, searching, and waiting. Rapyuta ASRS: Lower cost per line by moving bins—not people. Includes insurance, benefits, etc.
Space Efficiency
Manual Ops: Less storage density/m³, more volume = more floor space. Traditional ASRS: High storage density/m³, still limited by fixed structure. Rapyuta ASRS: High flexible storage density/m³. Same footprint, software changes = more capacity & no downtime.

Testimonials

With Rapyuta ASRS, we finally found a system that solves the trade-off between throughput and space efficiency. It fits our inventory requirements perfectly while integrating cleanly with our long-optimized WMS. The modular, anchorless design is a major advantage, it lets us deploy automation even in rented buildings without structural work. That level of flexibility set Rapyuta apart.

alps logistics
Robots became central to our automation strategy, and Rapyuta ASRS quickly proved the best fit. Its modular design gave us a level of adaptability we couldn’t find elsewhere. What stood out most was Rapyuta’s commitment to true co- creation, working with us until we achieved our targets.
