A complete control hub & software package for AutoStore.
The Controller module is the central control system, the "brain" of your AutoStore. It includes everything you need to manage and optimize the performance of your warehouse operations
The Controller combines dedicated hosting hardware components with advanced operating software. It provides a suite of tools to streamline operations and maximize the performance of your AutoStore.
Efficient goods retrieval is critical to efficient order fulfillment. Router uses advanced algorithms to manage and optimize the movement of your Robot fleet in real time. This ensures the most efficient transport pathways as needs change, for example as new orders, cancellations, and

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.
