Retrotech's strength and core competency is applying ASRS to material storage systems. Retrotech's ability to engineer new material storage solutions, and to modernize existing material storage systems, sets it above many in the automated material handling storage industry.

Material Storage History

Originally a method used in military and aerospace planning, the systems point of view has been applied to industrial material storage handling. Scanners and other control devices now provide "real time" data on the status of equipment and materials in an operation or facility.

This information can be used for making sound operating decisions. The integration of materials handling activities with controls and computers has enabled organizations to achieve higher levels of productivity.

A material storage handling system can include an entire plant and the facilities of suppliers and customers. A material storage system can begin at the receiving dock, continuing through inspection, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. It can also include packaging and shipping operations at the supplier's plant, and unloading and handling at the customer's site. Within the material storage handling system, smaller material storage systems or subsystems operate in various areas of the facility.

Preferably the material storage system should be integrated, to optimize materials handling efficiency throughout the facility. A materials handling system should contain two parallel flows, the physical flow of materials and a corresponding flow of information.

Retrotech has a long and successful history of provding material storage system solutions to a wide variety of customers. Let the team at Retrotech design or provide the right upgrade / retrofit solution for your company's storage needs.
