…shuttles dedicated to specific aisles and a series of elevators and conveyors that help move goods between multiple levels in an aisle and eventually get them to warehouse associates. This complexity puts stringent limitations on the system, especially when it comes to the flexibility of the ASRS. For instance, scaling a shuttle system could involve significant modifications to the existing infrastructure, costing time and money, said the company. In addition, if a single point of this system fails—such as an elevator—then a large portion of inventory could become inaccessible for a long period of time, it noted. Making things easy…
