Industrial automation applications
AS/RS Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems
Sage designs AS/RS automated storage and retrieval systems that use available vertical and horizontal space to place, track and retrieve industrial products automatically.
High-density storage designed around product access and flow
An automated storage system must do more than move to a coordinate. It must identify the product, confirm the storage location, manage occupancy, protect the load and coordinate with inbound and outbound production or shipping processes.
Sage gantry robots are well suited to large storage envelopes and repetitive travel between many locations. The scope can include racks or storage positions, conveyors, identification, inventory logic, plant-system interfaces, guarding and recovery controls.
Application data to define
- Product identification method
- Storage density and access strategy
- Inbound and outbound peak rates
- Rack or floor-position tolerances
- Inventory-system interface
- Manual access and recovery procedures
What the system can include
Large storage envelopes
Serve rows, bays and elevations from a gantry platform engineered around the required access area.
Product tracking
Coordinate storage locations, product identity and retrieval requests through the system controls.
Production integration
Connect storage with manufacturing, buffering, order preparation or shipping processes.

Frequently asked questions
What products can a gantry ASRS handle?
The platform can be engineered for tires, containers, racks, pallets and other industrial products. Product geometry, weight, storage method and throughput determine the final design.
Can the system connect to inventory software?
Yes. Sage can define controls and data interfaces for location management, product identity, requests and system status.
