Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AS/RS system?
An Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) is a computer-controlled storage solution that automatically moves, stores, and retrieves goods within a warehouse. It increases accuracy, maximizes space, and reduces labor costs.
Can my existing system be upgraded instead of replaced?
Yes. Retrofitting is often the most cost-effective way to modernize an older AS/RS. Systems in Motion upgrades controls, software, and mechanical components to improve throughput and reliability without full replacement.
What industries benefit most from AS/RS?
We serve industries such as eCommerce, manufacturing, 3PL, and food & beverage. Any facility that needs efficient storage, high accuracy, or space optimization can benefit from AS/RS technology.
How long does an AS/RS project take?
Project length depends on scope and scale, but most retrofits or new installations are designed, tested, and commissioned within weeks to minimize downtime.
Do you provide ongoing support and parts?
Yes. Our Aftermarket Services team offers 24/7 technical support, spare parts programs, and lifecycle maintenance to keep your system running at peak performance.
