“AS/RS is a technology solution that automates the storage and retrieval of goods in a warehouse. They can significantly reduce the levels of manual handling and manual labor required, resulting in more efficient, cost-effective operations, and increased throughput speed.”
“AutoStore is a type of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and sometimes referred to as 'cube storage', a new-type of AS/RS pioneered by AutoStore'. AutoStore is designed to optimize and maximize the efficiency of your order fulfillment by replacing almost all the manual labor of retrieving items from storage with automation.”
“AutoStore is designed to safely fit in almost any size and shape of warehouse, and is suitable for both new and existing warehouse facilities. Approximately 60% of AutoStore systems are installed at “brownfield” facilities not originally built to be compatible with large-scale automation.”
“AutoStore is designed to be “product agnostic.” This means it’s suitable for storing almost any kind of product category. So long as items fit inside the Bins, this provides you huge flexibility to safely store and handle a huge variety of SKUs.”
