In a significant leap forward in warehouse automation, robotic technology company AutoStore has launched its latest innovation, the R5 Pro Robot. This advanced robotic solution has been designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of large-scale e-commerce operations, offering improved space utilisation, superior performance and significant cost savings for companies operating multi-shift logistics at scale.
The R5 Pro Robot is poised to make a lasting impact in the world of logistics automation, promising a wide range of benefits that address the challenges of modern e-commerce warehousing.
One of the outstanding features of the R5 Pro Robot is its ability to significantly increase productivity. By deploying the R5 Pro in large AutoStore facilities, we are able to reduce the number of robots required on the same grid by up to 15% compared to its predecessor, the R5 Robot. This reduction not only enables better routing and system efficiency, but also translates into improved productivity during extended operations.
The R5 Pro robot is equipped with a Lithium-Titanium-Oxide (LTO) battery with fast charging capabilities. This technology ensures increased availability of individual robots in multi-shift operations, a critical advantage in the fast-paced world of e-commerce.
With the LTO battery, organisations can benefit from up to 86% fewer chargers, resulting in more efficient use of warehouse space. This means that additional SKU storage can be accommodated or the required physical footprint can be reduced. In addition, customers achieve significant cost savings related to electrical infrastructure, making the R5 Pro Robot a cost-effective choice for large-scale logistics operations.
