AutoStore is an automated warehouse system that uses robots operating within a continuous loop to ensure a smooth and efficient order flow.

The system is modular and cube-based, allowing goods to be stored in bins and retrieved automatically. It is operated through an advanced Warehouse Management System (WMS), providing high efficiency and full control.

An alternative automated solution for small goods is storage in vertical lift modules (Kardex). These computer-driven systems retrieve items automatically and efficiently, eliminating the need for manual searching.

FAQ – Automated warehouse solutions

What is AutoStore and how does it work?

AutoStore is an automated warehouse system where robots move on top of a grid to retrieve goods stored in bins. This enables fast, accurate and space-efficient order handling with minimal manual work.

When should you use AutoStore?

AutoStore is ideal for businesses with high order volumes, limited space, or a need for fast and accurate picking – particularly within e-commerce, retail and spare parts logistics.

What are vertical lift modules used for?

Vertical lift modules are used for small or low-volume goods that require efficient storage and precise picking. They maximise vertical space and improve picking efficiency.

Can automated solutions be combined with manual warehousing?

Yes, automated systems such as AutoStore and vertical lift modules are often combined with traditional racking systems to create a flexible and optimised warehouse solution.

Do automated warehouses reduce costs?

Automated solutions reduce labour costs, increase storage capacity and minimise picking errors, which together improve efficiency and lower overall logistics costs.
