Automated shelf storage and retrieval system

Abstract

The automation of processes in the logistics and storage sectors has become a crucial area of focus in modern engineering, as organizations increasingly seek to optimize operational efficiency, reduce time and resource wastage, and improve inventory man- agement. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) have emerged as inno- vative solutions that integrate mechanical, electronic, and computational technologies to manage inventory with precision and speed. This project focuses on the design and implementation of an automated system that incorporates intuitive interface. The pro- posed system aims to contribute to the field of industrial automation, offering a scalable and adaptable solution for warehouses and similar environments. After an exhaustive review of the existing literature, it can be stated that the main prob- lem addressed in this research project is the lack of optimization, organization, and control of inventory on shelves. This issue often leads to significant product losses, inefficient operations, and delays in material retrieval, especially in systems without automation.
