Sustainability at AutoStore™
Advantanges for businesses
Sustainable space
Improving order fulfillment together.
How do companies ensure they have enough room to meet growing customer expectations, while also minimizing the negative impact of their operations? AutoStore is committed to building innovative solutions that help companies operate effectively and more sustainably:
- High energy efficiency Super dense storage allows for much smaller locations with significantly lower energy consumption.
- Shorten the last mile Huge, out of town sites and greenfield developments can be replaced with smaller locations nearer to population centers, reducing last mile energy requirements.
- Innovative solutions We're committed to building innovative solutions that help companies consume less, serving to their communities more sustainably.
The greatest advantage of AutoStore™ is efficiency compared to manual picking with a lift truck, for example. The system is very reliable with excellent uptime. In addition, it’s easy to learn. It only takes a few minutes to learn the system independently. It gives us a great advantage.
Sustainability was an important factor for us when we selected our AS/RS solution, because we have commitments to our customers and ourselves to become greener.
In terms of business, the cost savings is immense. Our biggest savings was space, followed by staff, followed by energy, followed by stock loss. And then there are less measurable things, like being more accurate with your stock, your customers being able to trust your stock levels better.
We’re focused every morning with getting everything out – so that we can deliver everything to the customer as quickly as possible. Our record right now is 49 seconds from the customer placing the order until the order is ready for distribution.
