Speed and Efficiency
The AutoStore™ Advantage
The AutoStore™ Advantage
In today’s digital economy, consumers expect a level of service many businesses simply can’t handle. Customers are online 24/7 and expect next day deliveries. Retailers, grocers, healthcare companies, manufacturers, and logistic service providers face unique challenges in this hyper-fast environment, but there is one common theme — they need to get fast and agile to survive.
Conventional warehouse systems aren’t built to handle the volume and pace of sales, which is why smart owners are automating their operations. AutoStore, an automated storage and retrieval system, provides the competitive edge businesses need to deliver the speed, precision, and reliability their customers expect.
The flexible design of AutoStore makes it simple to scale up operations when demand increases or new products enter the market. Adaptability is particularly valuable during the holiday shopping season when retailers need to quickly increase capacity. Sometimes all it takes is a few weeks to expand the Grid, or add workstations, Robots, and Bins.
Check out what PUMA, the world's third-largest sportswear manufacturer, had to say about their 650,000-sf AutoStore warehouse in Indiana.
As the world’s highest density order fulfillment solution, the AutoStore system retains unrivaled space efficiency, by stacking storage bins one on top of the other, in a super-tight configuration. A common question when it comes to the stacking is “Doesn’t it take a long time to get the bottom bin?” Statistical laws and system functionalities make the “bottom bin”, a very low concern, with much fwer than 1% of Bin retrievals bein from the bottom row. Typically it takes on average 2 to 10 seconds for a Robot to retrieve the next Bin.
Watch the video to understand why the system's design makes the bottom bin a statistically insignificant concer for the 1,550+ AutoStore systems around the world.
