Abstract

Automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) is one of the material handling processes in the industrial field. Invented and still in development since 1950s. This system is still popular to become one of the researches choices to improve and increase its effectiveness and efficiency. This project report describes about the design and prototyping of semi-automated storage and retrieval system (S-AS/RS) using microcontroller. Although this system is a semi-automated system, the fully automated system of AS/RS has been chosen as a reference because of its slightly similar conditions. In this project, a semi-automated storage and retrieval system (SAS/ RS) has been designed and prototyped for mini-load storage or the light weight loads. A part of that, this project also involves of designing and fabrication of circuitry and programming, where the PIC 16F877A has been chosen as a brain of the system to control all the mechanisms. Several tests have been created to observe its ability and capability. Although all the aims have been grabbed, several improvements have been suggested to compete with the recent technology of the storage system.
