Frequently asked questions
An AutoStore system is a high-density, cubic AS/RS where bins are stacked vertically in a grid and accessed by robots that travel on the top layer of the system grid. Robots retrieve bins and deliver them to ports for picking or replenishment.
The main components of an AutoStore system are:
- Grid: The aluminum framework within which bins are stored.
- Robots: Autonomous vehicles that travel on top of the grid to retrieve and transport bins.
- Bins: Containers that hold inventory.
- Workstations (Ports): Areas where bins are delivered for picking inventory and replenishing inventory.
- Controllers: The central processing area where the software that manages system operations and communicates with other systems, such as warehouse management systems (WMSs).
Yes, their modular design allows for easy expansion by adding more grid, robots, or ports without disrupting existing operations.
Yes, there are options available for ambient, refrigerated, or even frozen storage environments.
