Warehouse Storage

Cubic ASRS, or grid-based ASRS, maximizes warehouse efficiency with unmatched storage density, throughput, accuracy, and reduced labor costs. Its modular metal framework optimizes vertical and horizontal space, enabling dense, uniform bin storage. We chose cubic ASRS for Ocado warehouses globally, as it represents the pinnacle of storage technology today.

Fire safety is critical in warehouses to protect inventory, infrastructure, and workers from devastating losses. Traditional storage methods such as high-bay racking pose fire risks due to dense materials and variable sprinkler coverage. Cubic ASRS enhances safety by reducing flammable exposure, improving airflow, and integrating fire suppression systems such as sprinklers and metal storage bins.

Minimizing energy consumption is paramount to the efficient running of cold chain operations. With their exceptional storage density, cubic ASRS grids are ideal for storing temperature-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals, groceries and other perishables. By employing robots designed to operate reliably at low temperatures, cubic ASRS offers seamless picking and replenishment without the need for humans to work in inhospitable environments.

Warehouses in seismic-prone areas face risks of structural damage, inventory loss, and operational downtime due to earthquakes. Traditional racking systems are vulnerable to collapse, endangering workers and goods. Solutions like seismic-resistant cubic ASRS, incorporating enhanced braced frames, seismic ductile detailing, and real-time monitoring and early warning, these grids minimize damage during seismic events. Ocado currently operates seismic grids for its customers in Asia.
