Restraints
ASRS is a highly profitable automation system to be used in warehouses, but the initial installation of ASRS requires a huge capital investment. Pre purchase analysis of supply chain and inventory management are required before the actual purchase of the system. The implementation of ASRS involves the installation of racks, automated system and software. This entire system incurs a heavy cost. Setting up this system has to be accurate, and thus require skill labor. In addition, companies often experience significant ongoing costs for maintaining and updating various sub systems. Making such huge investment is difficult for small and medium sized enterprises
Opportunities
Growth in the E-Commerce Sector during the Coronavirus Outbreak is creating massive opportunities for the industry players. As COVID-19 spread, there was an increase in demand for ASRS in the e-commerce industry, which has been the primary factor in the growth of the ASRS market. Due to the exponential growth of online activities in the e-commerce industry, e-commerce has changed traditional activities and has become a massive platform. The considerable growth of the e-commerce industry is a result of the surge in B2B and B2C operations. The most suitable and effective method for handling orders is to use shuttles or micro loads to help transport a tote or case to a goods-to-operator (GTO) pickup station. Many distribution centers employ the operator-to-goods (OTG) principle, which calls for the operator to travel in order to get the good. Typically, ASRS is a mini-load or shuttle system that may autonomously convey cargo to the operators.
When choosing single orders over vast distances in a large distribution center, the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) reduces travel time, boosting efficiency by 30% in a packed batch-pick environment and by up to 70% or more. As a result, it becomes simpler for e-commerce companies to efficiently meet growing consumer demand, which in turn fuels the rise of the ASRS industry.
Challenge
AS/development RS's is being restrained by a paradigm of delayed return on investment (RoI). The requirement to turn a profit stems from AS/significant RS's initial investment. Even if the price of these systems has decreased dramatically in recent years, small and medium-sized logistic operators are still not persuaded to adopt it. Additionally, the AS/RS return on investment (ROI) typically lasts between 5 and 7 years, which has a substantial negative market impact. The initial skepticism associated with AS/RS ROI still hangs over the strategies of operators, impeding the market's emergence. However, over time, the AS/RS prove to be a considerable value addition product by offering several advantages over physical labor in terms of operating costs and productivity.
