How a 33 ACR + 18 AMR Warehouse System Works Step by Step

A modern automated warehouse system is not a collection of independent robots—it is a fully synchronized logistics execution ecosystem.

This case explains how a 33 ACR + 18 AMR ASRS warehouse system operates step by step, from inbound receiving to outbound dispatch, achieving high throughput, stable operation, and real-time system visibility.

The workflow is powered by intelligent coordination between robots, WMS/WCS software, and SCADA visualization systems.

Traditional warehouses operate in fragmented workflows where each process is manually dependent.

This creates:

Delays between warehouse stages
Inefficient labor allocation
High error rates in picking and shipping
Lack of real-time visibility
Bottlenecks between storage and dispatch

Without system integration, warehouse performance cannot scale efficiently.

The 33 ACR + 18 AMR system solves these problems by creating a fully synchronized automated workflow architecture.

Key principles include:

Separation of storage and transport tasks
Real-time task allocation via WMS
Centralized coordination through WCS
Continuous robot operation (24/7 capability)
Full visibility via SCADA system

This transforms warehouse operations into a unified digital system.

The system operates through a structured end-to-end workflow:

Step 1: Inbound Receiving
Goods arrive at the warehouse and are scanned into the WMS system.
Functions include:
SKU identification
Barcode scanning
Inventory registration
Quality verification

Step 2: AMR Transport Allocation
AMR robots are assigned transport tasks automatically.
They move goods from receiving zones to designated storage or buffer areas.
Key benefit:
Eliminates manual forklift dependency
Reduces transport delay

Step 3: ACR Storage Execution
ACR robots handle high-density storage operations.
Functions include:
Bin lifting
Deep rack storage
Dynamic slot allocation
Inventory optimization
This ensures maximum storage efficiency and system organization.

Step 4: Intelligent Storage Management (WMS/WCS Layer)
The WMS and WCS systems continuously optimize warehouse operations:
SKU-based storage allocation
Order priority scheduling
Robot task balancing
Congestion avoidance
This is the “brain” of the warehouse system.

Step 5: Order Picking Process
When an order is triggered:
ACR retrieves required bins from racks
AMR transports bins to picking or buffer zones
System ensures real-time synchronization

Step 6: Sorting & Consolidation
Products are grouped and prepared for outbound shipping:
Order consolidation
Sorting by destination
Buffer staging for packing

Step 7: Outbound Dispatch
Finished orders are:
Packaged
Labeled
Routed to shipping docks

The system ensures continuous flow without manual interruption.

This warehouse system demonstrates how modern logistics operations are no longer driven by manual execution, but by real-time digital coordination systems.

Instead of isolated machines performing individual tasks, the warehouse functions as a single intelligent organism.

Every movement—from inbound to outbound—is optimized, tracked, and controlled through software intelligence.

• 1️⃣ Full Inbound → Outbound Integration
• The system connects all warehouse stages:
• Inbound → Storage → Picking → Sorting → Outbound
• No manual transfer delays between stages.
• 2️⃣ Robot Coordination Logic
• ACR handles vertical storage operations
• AMR handles horizontal transport tasks
• WMS assigns tasks dynamically
• WCS executes real-time control
• This separation ensures maximum efficiency.
• 3️⃣ Role of WMS/WCS
• WMS (Warehouse Management System):
• Inventory management
• Order processing
• Task scheduling
• WCS (Warehouse Control System):
• Robot coordination
• Real-time execution control
• System optimization
• Together, they form the warehouse “brain system.”
• 4️⃣ SCADA Visualization System
• The 3D SCADA system provides:
• Real-time warehouse visualization
• Robot movement tracking
• Performance monitoring
• System diagnostics
• This improves operational transparency and decision-making.
• 5️⃣ Throughput Optimization Logic
• System throughput is achieved through:
• Parallel robot execution
• Multi-zone workflow design
• Dynamic scheduling algorithms
• Continuous task streaming
• This enables stable high-speed operation.
