ASRS Integration Engineer

x1 – Focus: Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems

1. Core Responsibilities:

• Develop software interfaces for high-capacity Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS) used for storing incoming materials and finished goods.
• Ensure seamless integration of ASRS units with factory control systems and the MES for real-time inventory updates and retrieval requests.
• Implement control logic for associated material handling equipment (e.g. automated pallet conveyors, lifters interfacing with the ASRS), handling equipment commands and acknowledgments.
• Optimize throughput and reliability for material movements between the ASRS and production lines.

2 . Must Have Skills:

• Experience integrating warehouse automation systems (ASRS) into manufacturing operations, including understanding of conveyor systems and inventory management workflows.
• Proficiency in programming for real-time equipment control (e.g. using C#/.NET or Java ) to interface with storage system controllers and handle low-latency data exchange.
• Familiarity with systems integration techniques to connect equipment software with MES/ERP transactions (ensuring inventory updates occur in real time).

3 . Good to Have Skills:

• Knowledge of PLC communication and industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, etc.) for interfacing with ASRS and related machinery.
• Understanding of warehouse operations and material flow optimization, enabling design choices that improve automated storage/retrieval efficiency and reliability.
