  Growing Demand For ASRS In Automotive Industry

  
  

The automobile sector uses cutting-edge technologies called Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) to organize warehouse operations. To effectively manage inventories and boost overall productivity, these systems make use of robotics, conveyors, and software. Space optimization is a significant benefit of ASRS in the automotive industry. High-rise racking solutions are used by ASRS to efficiently use vertical warehouse space. This makes it possible for auto makers to store a lot of parts and components in a small space. Better inventory control is a further advantage. ASRS systems continuously track stock levels, locations, and movements of automobile parts using cutting-edge tracking and inventory control techniques. This lowers mistakes and guarantees effective inventory restocking, which boosts productivity and enhances customer service. Thus, the demand is expected to increase.

Vertical Lift Module (VLM) And Carousel-Based ASRS Market Segment Insights:

Vertical Lift Module (VLM) And Carousel-Based ASRS Type Insights

Based on type, the Global Vertical Lift Module (VLM) And Carousel-Based ASRS Market segmentation includes carousel based, and vertical lift module (VLM) ASRS. Carousel based segment is dominating the market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3%. Carousel Systems, also known as Goods to Person, are very successful systems that find and show a variety of items to operators in a fixed position. This Goods to Person (G2P) technology enable high-productivity pick rates by fetching products and delivering them to the operator with minimal to no mistake. There are numerous arrangements that are vertically or horizontally based. Carousels save space and time by moving the racks instead of the person seeking and collecting goods from the racks. Many developments in Carousel systems have occurred in recent years, making this warehouse automation technology easier to implement, scale, and more economical than in the past.

Furthermore, Carousel based is further divided into Vertical Carousel and Horizontal Carousel. Horizontal Carousel is expected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period.
