Automated Storage and Retrieval System
Smart, High-Density Storage for Modern Libraries
Maximize storage capacity, accelerate retrieval and build a future-ready library with automated shelving systems.
Smart Storage Solutions for Today’s Evolving Libraries
As libraries evolve into dynamic learning environments, the demand for smarter and space saving storage solutions is rising. AMASTEC offers fully automated, high-density storage solutions that reduce physical footprint, enhance operational efficiency, lower costs, and ensure long-term preservation of valuable collections.
How It Works:
The ASRS operates through a centralized control system that integrates seamlessly with the library’s database and LMS. Books and materials are stored in trays or bins, each tagged using barcodes or RFID for precise identification. When a user places a request via kiosk, mobile app, or staff terminal, the system automatically identifies the exact location of the item within the high-density vertical racks. Robotic cranes or shuttles then retrieve the book from its designated tray or bin and transport it to the access point for pickup.
When a book is returned, it’s scanned, sorted, and automatically placed back in its proper location by the system. Each step is tracked in real-time, keeping the inventory accurate and organized without manual handling. This ensures fast operations, high precision, and smooth circulation of library materials.
Transforming Library Storage with ASRS
Bring speed, precision, and efficiency to your library storage operations with ASRS. These intelligent systems automate the retrieval and return of books using robotic cranes, vertical lifts, and shuttles, drastically reducing search times, human effort, and space consumption. ASRS ensures better organization, minimizes errors, and optimizes space utilization by storing materials in high-density vertical racks.
Key Benefits:
- Store up to 5x more books in the same footprin
- Fast retrieval and return of books
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Seamless integration with Library Management System (LMS)
- Users can easily request books via kiosks or mobile app
Seamless Book Delivery Integration
Integrate the ASRS with an Electric Transport Vehicle (ETV) system to automatically deliver retrieved books to staff desks, counters, or even user tables, ensuring a fully hands-free and highly efficient book handling experience.
High-Density Mobile Shelving System
Maximize floor space while keeping collections easily accessible using motorized mobile shelving system. This system allows shelves to compact tightly together and move on guided tracks, opening only when access is needed. With just a button or touch panel, staff and users can open aisles effortlessly, making it ideal for academic and research libraries with limited space.
Highlights:
- Saves up to 50% of floor space
- Easy and safe access to stored materials
- Motorized controls with safety sensors
- Customizable layouts for books, archives, or multimedia
- Optional RFID integration for tracking and inventory
