Design of automated vertical storage system for automotive applications

In industry, most of the productive time consumed in material handling and storage, it is necessary to optimize the material handling and storage system. Automated Vertical Storage System (AVSS) is one of the technologies used to store and retrieve the material, tools, and consumable products. This paper summarizes, design of the Automated Vertical Storage System, its advantages and disadvantages. Automated Vertical Storage System has many benefits, including savings in production time, labour costs, improved material flow, and inventory control, improved throughput, high floor-space utilization, safety for workers, and stock rotation. Trays used to store the materials inside the storage system and delivery the materials without any human resources. Automated technologies and vertical storage system will save time and optimizes picking operations. It Saves 90% of floor space; also, it increases accuracy, product security, and ergonomic functions. It uses warehouse management software associate with the system, which will allow easy control and manage material handling and storage trays with inventory management software and all the information of the materials stored in the software for easy usage at a convenient location.
