Automatic order-picking system AutoStore

The AutoStore system is a robotic storage and order preparation system based on bins, that allows storage and management of picking tasks in a fast, optimal way, to take maximum advantage of the warehouse. Advantages of AutoStore • It is the fastest and densest system per m² in the world • Boosts storage capacity by up to 400% • Availability rate of 99.7% • Boosts productivity by up to 2.5 times • Completely flexible, modular and scalable • Cuts down on human error and saves on operating costs • Sustainable and energy efficient (10 robots use the same energy as a vacuum cleaner) • Speeds up order preparation AutoStore™ robots perform their functions constantly to carry, find, collect and deliver containers to work stations. Whether working in large teams or smaller ones, each robot operates independently, ensuring that there is no single failure point. AutoStore robots anticipate the next wave of orders, ensuring they are available to staff. AutoStore robots are not only able to anticipate a wave of orders, but they place products strategically in what is known as the “ABC” system. This means that the bins requested less frequently go down to the lower storage levels (Zone C), while items with a high turnover stay on the higher levels (Zone A) for faster access to them. This feature is dynamic, and changes according to the situation, time of year or demand for items. Like this the bins with the highest turnover can always be accessed the fastest.
