Cube Robotic AS/RS
Integrated Systems Design (ISD) has launched URBX Cube Robotic AS/RS, a cube robotic automated storage and retrieval system.
The URBX Cube Robotics AS/RS addresses three critical pain points impacting warehouse operators: insufficient floor space, unsustainable labor costs, and inadequate throughput capacity to meet accelerating e-commerce, omnichannel, and manufacturers’ delivery demands. The ISD URBX Cube Robotic ASRS operates on different principles than conventional crane-and-aisle automated storage systems. Instead of using cranes moving through fixed aisles, autonomous robots traverse a three-dimensional grid structure, climbing vertically and moving horizontally without dedicated travel lanes. Each robot accesses any storage location within the grid, storing totes in a dense cube arrangement that eliminates wasted aisle space.
The system reaches heights up to 125 feet. Each robot handles up to 100 pounds and completes up to 500 presentations per hour—delivering 1,000 transactions hourly when counting both storage and retrieval operations. Integration capabilities include compatibility with standard conveyor systems and nterfaces with warehouse management software (WMS), warehouse control systems (WCS), and warehouse execution systems (WES).
