# An automated storage and retrieval system

## Abstract

The disclosure relates to an automated storage and retrieval system comprising a frame, a fire suppression unit, and a control system. The frame defines storage columns for receiving storage containers. The fire suppression unit is positioned to deliver fire suppressant into storage columns. The fire suppression unit comprises a nozzle and an actuatable mount. The control system is configured to instruct the fire suppression unit to direct the nozzle to the target storage column and to output fire suppressant towards the target storage column.
