ASRS integration built around your facility, software, and workflow
Automation should fit the way your team already works — not the other way around. White Systems designs ASRS solutions around your facility constraints, inventory requirements, and existing processes. And with MILO™, our proprietary inventory management software, connecting that equipment to your operation is faster and more straightforward than most teams expect.
Software integration: connect your storage equipment to the systems you already use
White Systems connects your automated storage equipment to your existing ERP, WMS, or inventory system, so your team does not have to manage the integration alone. With MILO™, you can integrate with a host system from day one or begin with standalone inventory control and connect later as your needs evolve.
MILO™ can support order release, pick confirmation, inventory updates, and lot and serial tracking while allowing your team to continue working within the systems and processes they already use.
Physical integration: engineered for your existing space
Most ASRS installs go into active facilities, not blank slates — so we engineer around your space, not the other way around. Our team reviews yours before recommending anything, starting with:
- Machine footprint and ceiling-height requirements
- Floor loading and slab conditions
- Operator access and pick station placement
- Material flow before and after the machine
This is especially important in brownfield environments where automation needs to slot into an existing production, warehouse, MRO, or maintenance operation without disrupting what’s already running.
Workflow integration: make it usable for the people running it
Your team gets the benefit without the learning curve. Vertical Lift Modules and carousels bring items directly to the operator — eliminating aisle walking, awkward reaching, and ladder use — while MILO’s interface guides the rest. That includes:
- Touchscreen controls and guided picking workflows
- Barcode scanning and pick confirmation
- Ergonomic pick heights that reduce strain across a full shift
- Safety features including light curtains, enclosed storage, and emergency stops
White Systems’ U.S.-based service team also handles training and ongoing support, so your team isn’t left to figure it out alone.

Start where you are, grow when you're ready
You don’t have to automate everything at once. Many facilities start with a single machine or one storage area, then expand as inventory grows or priorities shift. With MILO™, multiple VLMs — even across different locations — can be connected and managed together, so your operation scales without stitching together disconnected systems. White Systems plans for that from the beginning, so your first installation doesn’t become a ceiling on what the system can eventually do.
Ready to review your integration requirements?
White Systems has helped facilities in manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and MRO tighten inventory control, reduce storage footprint, and improve pick accuracy — in both greenfield projects and active facilities that couldn’t afford downtime during the transition.
Our engineering and software teams can review your floor plans, inventory requirements, and software environment to map out the right path for your project.
