In this episode, ASRS Industry Group Members Aaron Lambe from AutoStore and Rupesh Narkar from Swisslog Logistics discuss the topic: as mobile automation gains acceptance on the market some companies are trying to implement AGV’s and AMR’s into their facilities instead of an ASRS. Is that always the right thing to do? Our guests will discuss some of the scenarios where an ASRS will be superior to mobile automation and where they can both be used to create maximum efficiency.
