The rapid advance in today��?s technology requires innovative solutions especially in the area of storage and retrieval processes. Material handling includes all the stages of material transit starting from entry of raw material in the factory, inter process and intra process movement of materials or components during various operations and then finally the exit of finished products from the factory. It has been estimated that the average material handling cost is roughly 40%-50% of total production cost and hence it is the major factor which governs the final price of the product. Hence, any modern approach that focusses on or includes reduction in this cost is appreciated. Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) plays a vital role in optimising material handling process. It employs computerized robotic system that automates storage and retrieval processes, thus, improving the efficiency of material handling and sorting. As compared to conventional material handling systems, it improves storage capacity, space utilization, etc., and reduces cost of material handling, handling time in factories or warehouses. This paper focuses on the detailed study of AS/RS and its comparison with conventional material handling system.
