Assembling of parts is a key component in the automotive industry, and productivity of an employee, to a huge extent, depends on this factor. If the parts aren’t kept in an organized manner, the employee will end up wasting time in finding a spare part. ASRS adoption in automotive companies can significantly enhance operations and save cost and time. Storing different parts in an organized manner and then deliver it to the operator who is located at an ergonomic position would ensure optimum usage of storage spaces and time. The shuttles are used to store or retrieve automotive parts from storage places. They store and retrieve various totes, trays, and parts. Also, they efficiently handle all sizes of parts, including mufflers and pipes, gaskets, and wiper blades. Furthermore, the modular nature of a storage system allows for the easy scalability of storage spaces. All these factors propel the automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) market growth in the automotive industry.
