Storage & Retrieval Machine (SRM) – H&B Tech
The Storage and Retrieval Machine (SRM) by H&B Tech is a high-performance automated logistics solution designed to optimize warehouse operations with precision, speed, and reliability. Built for modern AS/RS (Automated Storage & Retrieval System) environments, the SRM ensures seamless material handling, reduced manual intervention, and maximum storage efficiency in high-bay warehouses.
Overview
H&B Tech SRMs are engineered to operate within narrow aisles and tall storage racks, enabling businesses to manage large volumes of goods with minimal floor space. The machines automatically store and retrieve palletized or containerized items, improving productivity while reducing operational errors.
