Prevent this by choosing precisely made pallets and inspecting them on a regular schedule. One faulty pallet can stop a crane, block an aisle, and halt your whole automated system. A little prevention saves a lot of downtime. What Is an ASRS Pallet and Why Do Failures Happen An ASRS pallet is a pallet built for an automated storage and retrieval system. Cranes, shuttles, and conveyors move it without human help. That makes accuracy far more important than it is for a manual pallet. Automated systems read size, shape, and position with sensors. If a pallet differs even slightly from the design, the machine may misread it. The result is a jam, a fault alarm, or a dropped load.
