Automated Pallet Racking and High-Bay Storage Systems

With space constraints and labour costs two of the key challenges facing UK warehouses today, adopting Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) with pallet storage capabilities can play a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness. ASRS represent a sophisticated technology to automate the process of storing and retrieving goods and are designed to handle a wide range of products, from small items to large
pallets, with high levels of precision and speed.

These innovative systems overcome space limitations by using the available vertical storage space effectively, to accommodate growing inventory volumes without expanding the physical footprint required. Additionally, automating storage and retrieval tasks reduces the reliance on manual labour, combating labour shortages and increasing productivity.

MotionTech has an enviable reputation for designing and installing ASRS solutions and is proud to partner with HUBMASTER, to provide innovative ASRS technology which delivers a flexible,
efficient and cost-effective solution to today’s warehouse optimisation challenges.

HUBMASTER specialises in providing stacker crane storage solutions designed to increase storage density and accelerate operations across pallet storage, put-away, and retrieval. Their highly flexible multi-aisle stacker crane system can be suspended from above the building or existing racks, thus reducing the installation footprint. The cranes are extremely agile and capable of moving at high speed along the aisles to both store and retrieve pallets from the racking system. Once outside the aisle, the cranes travel at a slower speed, controlled by integrated sensors, to avoid any potential collisions with either personnel, product or infrastructure.
