To ensure smooth flow of materials and efficient use of labor in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) can help you a great deal in managing space constraints and operational efficiency. To gain a competitive advantage and create long-term value for your business, an ASRS can help you gain efficiency by:
- Minimizing your building footprint by up to 50 per cent compared to a conventional warehouse
- Saving on construction costs
- Maximizing available storage space in existing structures
- Reducing energy costs by up to 40 per cent
- Reducing labor and product damage costs
- Decreasing your lead time by faster order fulfilment
- Increasing your picking accuracy
As the mass consumption of goods keeps growing in the Indian economy, companies are realizing the importance of implementing world class technology and automated solutions to help them meet the customer demands. Organizations are reaching out to providers who can support them in taking the big leap from being a traditionally operated facility to a world class automated one, which could potentially yield great returns. However, the Indian market is at a nascent stage in the automation sector and there is a dearth of providers who can implement end to end solutions involving design, build, and operate capabilities.
ThinkLink can help you analyze your technology and automation requirements, evaluate different options, select the best fit, procure required systems and equipment, implement the design, commission the facility and support an end-to-end ASRS implementation project. With our strong project management and systems engineering expertise, coupled with an excellent partnership with Muratec Japan, we bring in a great deal of technology and implementation know-how to your door step. We are your partner for turnkey ASRS implementations or helping you improve your Brownfield sites by implementing world class technology complemented by our strong process re-designing capability that adds value to your overall business strategy. We work in conjunction with Muratec Japan to provide industry leading solutions, which are available in different configurations to support the needs of your facility operations.
Our ASRS solution range includes the following:
Our Solution Methodology consists of the following phases:
Business and Operations Evaluation : This is the first step in our ASRS projects which forms the baseline of the engagement. During this phase, we perform a detailed analysis of your operations and technology/automation requirements
Solution Design and Proposal : Based on the initial analysis, we develop customized solutions with different options and propose the design to our customers. During this phase, we revise the design and proposed solution until the final agreement
Systems Engineering : During this phase, the proposed solution is engineered to meet the customer requirements. This includes layout designing using Systematic Layout Planning Methodology (SLP), simulation models to test different machine and manpower configurations, flow analysis based on multiple storage options
Procurement : Sourcing of machines and technological infrastructure takes place during this phase
Installation : Our teams work together to install all the equipment and supporting systems and ensure that the agreed upon design is at par with the final assembly
Ongoing Support : We provide continuous support and if required, deploy a full-time team of experts on site for a certain period of time
Systems Upgrade : To keep up with the technology and automation trends, we also assist with up gradation as and when required to ensure world class performance in operations and delivery
