About AutoStore
About AutoStore
AutoStore, headquartered in Nedre Vats, Norway, invented cube-based warehouse automation in 1996. The system has since been deployed in over 1,250 installations across 50+ countries, storing billions of inventory bins.
How It Works
AutoStore systems consist of aluminum grid structures, stackable bins, robots, and workstations. Inventory is stored in bins stacked within the grid. Robots travel on top of the grid, digging down to retrieve requested bins and delivering them to ergonomic workstations where operators pick items.
Why 3PLs Choose AutoStore
Third-party logistics providers invest in AutoStore to dramatically increase storage capacity and picking efficiency. The cube-based design stores up to 4x more inventory in the same footprint as traditional shelving. Goods-to-person picking eliminates travel time, increasing picks per hour by 5-10x.
Scalability & Flexibility
AutoStore systems scale from small installations with a few robots to massive systems with hundreds of robots and millions of bins. Adding capacity is straightforward - simply add more bins, grid sections, robots, or workstations.
Integration & Software
AutoStore integrates with major WMS platforms through standardized APIs. The system's software manages robot traffic, optimizes bin placement, and provides analytics on system performance.
