Sieger ASRS Automated Storage and Retrieval System

What a Sieger ASRS does

An ASRS, an automated storage and retrieval system, replaces forklifts and manual put-away with stacker cranes that run in narrow aisles between high racking. The crane stores a pallet, roll or bin in a precise location and retrieves it on demand, so stock goes up to roof height and the warehouse runs with little manual handling. Sieger builds the system to your warehouse rather than to a catalogue, with three main types: pallet ASRS, fabric roll ASRS and bin storage ASRS, plus the conveying that moves goods between them.

The category goes by a few different names. Whether you searched for an ASRS, an automated storage and retrieval system, an automated warehouse, a pallet ASRS, a stacker crane system, a radio shuttle system or a bin storage ASRS, this is what Sieger builds.

Built for warehouses that are out of floor space

An ASRS is for operations that have run out of floor but still have height, and for those that want to cut manual handling and stock errors. Pallet warehouses and distribution centres use the pallet ASRS, with a stacker crane and fork for single-deep storage or a stacker crane and shuttle for multi-deep, higher-density storage. Textile and fabric producers use the fabric roll ASRS, built around the shape and weight of rolls. Manufacturers with thousands of small parts use the bin storage ASRS for high-density small-parts storage. Each one is engineered around your building height, load weight, throughput and SKU count.

Because Sieger has spent more than 25 years building machinery before moving into automation, the systems are made to run in real Indian plants, and they are supported from India rather than from abroad.

ASRS vs conventional racking and forklifts

Conventional racking with forklifts wastes height, depends on drivers, and loses stock to picking errors and forklift damage. An ASRS stores up to full building height in narrow aisles, so the same floor holds far more, and the stacker cranes run unattended around the clock with real-time inventory, so picks are accurate and the warehouse keeps working through the night. Against an imported ASRS, a Sieger system is engineered and built in India, so there is no import lead time, no customs and no currency risk, and service is local.

• More on the same floor: floor-to-roof storage holds far more than conventional racking.
• Runs itself: stacker cranes store and retrieve unattended, 24 hours a day.
• Accurate stock: real-time inventory and automated picking cut errors and stock loss.
• Safer: heavy lifting and high-level work move from people to machines.
• India-built: no import, no customs and local installation and service.

Industries that use a Sieger ASRS

Any operation that stores and moves stock in volume is a fit. Sieger builds ASRS for:

• Pharmaceutical and healthcare: traceable, accurate storage for regulated stock.
• Textile and fabric: fabric roll ASRS for mills and processors.
• Food and cold storage: dense storage for chilled and frozen warehouses.
• Tyres: high-density storage for bulky, heavy tyre stock.
• FMCG and distribution: high-throughput pallet handling for fast-moving goods.
• General engineering: bin storage for thousands of small parts and SKUs.

Why source a Sieger ASRS through Magnum Resources

Magnum Resources partners with Sieger, the Coimbatore maker that moved from more than 25 years in machinery into warehouse automation. Because the ASRS is engineered and built in India, there is no import, no customs and no overseas service desk. We work the warehouse layout, system type and throughput out with Sieger, then see the project through design, manufacture, installation and training, with support that stays in India.

If you are evaluating an ASRS or warehouse automation for a plant or distribution centre in India, talk to our engineers about your building height, stock profile and order rate. We will give you an honest assessment, a configured design and a clear quotation.
