The StorFast ASRS offers a fully customizable Logistics Solution to enhance throughput to meet customers’ demands and optimize operational resources

 Signode, a manufacturer of a broad range of end-of-line packaging equipment, tools, consumables as well as end-to-end automation and warehouse automation solutions, announced it will be showcasing its StorFast technology at MODEX. The event, which will take place in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center, March 28-31, 2022, will also feature additional Signode solutions that support the warehousing, distribution, and logistics operations of its customers.

Signode’s StorFast Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) is an innovative cart-based solution consisting of powered carts and lifts that automatically move pallets in and out of storage positions in the warehouse. The newly enhanced cart-based StorFast system operates at twice the speed with improved control for acceleration and deceleration of the robotic carts. In addition, StorFast components can now handle pallets weighing up to 4,400 pounds. Visitors will be able to see the technology in action at booth B2013.

The StorFast ASRS delivers an intelligent logistics management solution integrating with order management, warehouse management, and order fulfillment systems. The system offers a fully customizable logistics solution to enhance throughput to meet customers’ demands and optimize operational resources and improve inventory management.

In addition to the ASRS, the Signode automation product portfolio includes a full range of robot-based depalletizing, palletizing, and material handling solutions, all providing cost and performance advantages over other traditional warehouse systems.
