Logistics & Warehousing
Cold storage automation
Robots operating in freezers and cold warehouses.
People ask for this as: “cold storage robot”, “freezer ASRS”
How it works
Robots used
- ASRS
- Autonomous Forklift
Ways to buy it
- Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
- Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- RaaS lowers upfront cost; check minimum term and per-pick fees.
- Ask for references with similar SKU profiles and throughput.
- Integration with your WMS is often the long pole.
