Controller
A complete control hub & software package for AutoStore.
A complete control hub & software package for AutoStore.
The Controller module is the central control system, the "brain" of your AutoStore. It includes everything required to manage, monitor, and optimize warehouse performance in one integrated solution.
By combining dedicated hosting hardware with intelligent control software, the Controller enables reliable execution, efficient Robot coordination, and continuous operational visibility across your entire system.
The Controller combines industrial-grade hosting hardware with CubeControl™, the software that executes and coordinates AutoStore daily operations.
Together, they power real-time execution, continuously optimize Robot traffic, and keep your system performing at its highest level.
From routing decisions to workflow orchestration, CubeControl ensures efficient movement, balanced workloads, and consistent throughput.

Efficient goods retrieval is critical to high-performance order fulfillment. Router™, the traffic optimization software within CubeControl, manages and optimizes Robot movement across the Grid in real time.
As order patterns shift, priorities change, or new tasks are introduced, Router continuously recalculates optimal pathways to maintain efficient traffic flow, clear congestion, and balance workload across the system.
CubeDeploy redefines AutoStore system updates by enabling every installation to stay current with the latest official releases.
Developed to drive maximum uptime, peak performance, and robust reliability, CubeDeploy empowers customers to access new functionality and advancements faster than ever.
With a seamless update process, organizations can leverage the latest features and improvements immediately, minimizing operational risk and ensuring their AutoStore system delivers sustained efficiency and stability.

AutoStore offers different standard interfaces (APIs) for the communication between AutoStore and WMS (picking/goods in and port operations).
Yes, all activity among other failures are logged and are traceable. The WMS can trace all Bins via Log Publisher. The customer needs to maintain the bin contents within their WMS and back up all critical data.
Night preparation is a strategy where the Customer knows all, or maybe only a certain number of Bins needed to fulfill the orders the next day.
The orders are already in the system the evening before and the Customer could benefit from pre-digging them up at night. The more bins known the better the night preparation and the new Bin distribution will be.
This strategy is possible as long as the Robots get enough charging during the night. It might be necessary to have a superuser on-site if something goes wrong during the night.
Forecasting is a strategy used by the customer to predict the usage of Bins for the next day based on data from the past (statistically from previous days or years).
The idea is to prepare a certain number of SKUs (Bins) at night so when the picking activity starts the next day, we can get a good match between the real orders and the forecasted Bins. It is important to note that only with a very high hit rate of the forecast is the forecasting beneficial, and the customer’s warehouse management system (WMS) is responsible for the forecasting strategy.
Yes, changes to tasks or task groups already transferred to AutoStore are possible. But each change may have a negative influence on the speed and efficiency of the system later as the system may have already used Robot resources to prepare that Bin.
Consumer behavior has changed; supply chains have not. Let's talk today to see how AutoStore can build resilience in your operations and let you stand out from your competitors.
