Key Features
Modular Grid System
-
Dense Storage: The AutoStore system uses a grid structure where bins are stacked vertically, optimizing vertical space and reducing the warehouse footprint.
-
Scalability: The modular nature of the grid allows easy expansion, accommodating growing storage needs without significant infrastructure changes.
Robotic Operation
-
Robots: Specialized robots travel along the top of the grid to retrieve bins. They can move horizontally in both X and Y directions, picking up bins and delivering them to workstations.
-
Efficiency: Robots work collaboratively, optimizing retrieval times and ensuring a high throughput of items.
Workstations (Ports)
-
Picking Stations: Designated points where robots deliver bins for picking and packing. These stations are ergonomically designed for human operators, ensuring efficiency and reducing strain.
-
Multiple Types: Workstations can be configured for various operations such as picking, replenishing, and returns.
Software Integration
-
Control System: The AutoStore control system manages inventory, robot operations, and workflow processes. It integrates with warehouse management systems (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for seamless operation.
-
Real-Time Data: Provides real-time data and analytics on inventory levels, robot performance, and order status, enhancing decision-making and operational visibility.
High Density and Flexibility
-
Space Utilization: By stacking bins vertically and using robots to retrieve items, AutoStore significantly reduces the floor space required for storage compared to traditional shelving.
