High-Throughput Input/Output Conveyor Systems for Seamless ASRS Integration

Optimize your automated storage investment with rugged induction and take-away systems. We bridge the gap between static storage and dynamic flow, ensuring reliable load handshakes and real-time WCS data integration.

When Storage Is Manual, Errors and Delays Multiply

Stop Choking Your Throughput

The fastest crane is useless if the conveyor system cannot feed or clear loads efficiently. Poorly designed I/O loops create starvation or blockages, drastically reducing total system throughput.

Prevent Handshake Errors

If the conveyor fails to present the load squarely or communicate status correctly to the WCS, the crane faults out. This results in "stuck" inventory and requires dangerous manual entry into the automation cell to clear faults.

Where AS/RS Systems Deliver Results

What industries typically use these systems:

Conveyor Types Often Used in Assembly Line Systems

Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR)

The industry standard for handling pallets in and out of crane aisles; robust and compatible with reversing operations.

Precision Squaring Stations

Mechanical or pneumatic centering devices that ensure loads are perfectly oriented for crane pickup.

Transfer Cars

Rail-running vehicles to sort loads between multiple ASRS aisles, maximizing crane utilization.

Multi-Strand Chain Conveyor

Designed for pallets with non-conveyable bottoms or steel racks entering high-bay storage.

Our Proven Process for Engineering Conveyor Systems

Engineering and Custom Design

We design the handshake logic and physical interface to match the specific tolerances of your ASRS crane OEM.

Manufacturing and Factory Acceptance Testing

Full electrical and mechanical build-out with simulated crane handshakes to verify WCS communication.

On-site Installation and Project Management

Coordinated installation with the storage system provider to ensure a seamless startup and safety compliance.
