Market Trends: Automated storage and retrieval systems
A snaphot of the current AS/RS market
By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 12/1/2007
Sales of fixed-aisle automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) have more than rebounded from the drop they suffered at the beginning of the decade. Sales of unit-load AS/RS have been particularly strong in recent years. While users are finding additional uses for AS/RS, the handling of finished goods remains their most popular application.
All statistics on this page are provided by the Fixed-Aisle AS/RS Working Group of Material Handling Industry of America and include sales data from member companies only. Working group membership has fluctuated somewhat over the last 10 years.
