Automated Storage Solutions

Customized planning – perfectly aligned with your production

Every ROTTE solution is custom-engineered based on an in-depth analysis of your processes, material flows, and system interfaces. We consider every factor – from container geometry and takt times to autonomous material handover. The goal: fully automated, error-free storage in robot-powered systems that accelerate production, reduce manual workload, and prepare your facility for the future.

Automated small parts warehouses (AS/RS) and robotic cells for seamless component storage

In modern manufacturing, the automated storage of components plays a vital role in boosting efficiency, ensuring process reliability, and providing end-to-end transparency. With decades of experience in automation and robotics, ROTTE delivers high-performance automated small parts storage systems (AS/RS) – designed as standalone robotic cells upon request, specifically tailored for use in digitally networked industrial environments.

Our AS/RS systems handle the precise and reliable storage of small parts such as screws, seals, electronic components, or sensitive precision elements – fully automated, secure, and just-in-time. Thanks to their modular design and integrated robotics, they enable end-to-end, paperless material provisioning from goods receipt through inventory management to handover to downstream assembly or processing stations. This holistic approach significantly optimizes warehouse processes, reduces bottlenecks, and increases production flexibility.

ROTTE AS/RS – Smart logistics systems for Industry 4.0

With ROTTE’s automated small parts storage systems, you benefit from a fully networked solution that integrates seamlessly into your digital production environment. Our systems offer:

State-of-the-art robotics for automated storage and material provisioning
ERP and MES integration for real-time monitoring of inventory and movement
Scalable architectures – from single rack rows to complex multi-aisle systems
Modular design for maximum adaptability to spatial and functional requirements

An investment in automated storage with robot-assisted handling quickly pays off through significantly improved logistics performance – especially in scenarios with a wide range of SKUs and tight cycle times.

Automated AS/RS Storage Systems by ROTTE – Tailored automation for maximum efficiency

Our automated AS/RS storage systems are engineered to store small parts in a wide variety of containers – including plastic bins, cartons, trays, or totes – in a space-saving and efficient manner. Fully automated storage is handled via high-performance stacker cranes or shuttle systems, guided with millimeter precision by intelligent control technology. The result: dynamically controlled processes, secure storage even for sensitive items, and full traceability.

ROTTE’s AS/RS systems are far more than just classic warehousing solutions – they can be designed and operated as fully autonomous robotic cells, making them ideal as intermediate buffers, picking stations, or decentralized automation units between production steps – without the need for additional equipment or complex interfaces.
