Fabric
Fabric secured a new patent for its innovative multi-tote size automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). This first-of-its-kind technology enables the storage of multiple varying tote sizes within the same shelving unit, optimizing warehouse efficiency.
“The growth in e-commerce is fueling pressure on retailers to expand inventory selection while keeping logistics costs low,” says Ori Avraham, Fabric’s VP product and co-founder. “Fabric is the only automated fulfillment solution offering the technology that accommodates different tote dimensions in a single storage system so businesses can maximize inventory density, reduce operational expenses and scale to meet growing demand.”
Key takeaways:
- Fabric's ASRS is the only automated warehouse system capable of handling multiple tote sizes in one shelving unit. This flexibility allows companies to optimize their use of space, especially in micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs) in smaller local areas or within the confines of their retail stores. By storing large and small products in the same location, businesses can accommodate a broader range of SKUs, avoid wasted capacity and minimize their storage footprint.
- This allows companies to streamline their operations, stock a wider range of products and adapt to changing customer demands without modifications.
