AutoStore has introduced several innovative features to further enhance its cutting-edge Grid system. These advancements include the award-winning AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™, the Expanded 18-Level Grid, the Motorized Service Vehicle, and a range of software upgrades designed to optimize performance and efficiency to elevate your logistics operations.
Discover AutoStore’s Latest Technological Innovations Presented by Parth Joshi, Chief Product Officer at AutoStore.
The Multi-Temperature Solution enables multiple temperature zones within a single AutoStore cube. It is specifically designed for frozen and chilled environments, with a temperature range from -25°C in the frozen section to +6°C in the cooled areas. To improve working conditions for operators, frozen product picking is done at the Ports in the chilled area, avoiding the need to pick items in extreme frozen temperatures. This solution enhances speed and efficiency in managing frozen inventory. The Multi-Temperature Solution will be available for order starting in Q1 2025.
The vertical reach of the AutoStore Grid has been expanded, increasing its height from 16 to 18 levels with 330 mm bins and from 24 to 26 levels with 220 mm bins. This enhancement boosts storage density by up to 12.5%. By adding two more levels, fulfillment centers can reduce Grid floor space by up to 11% without compromising accuracy, flexibility, or modularity. This feature is now available for all customers installing new Grid systems.
This safety tool offers a more convenient method for maneuvering on top of the Grid during routine maintenance tasks, enhancing system reliability for large customers while prioritizing worker safety. The Motorized Service Vehicle will be available for order starting in Q1 2025.
AutoStore has upgraded its cube control software, enabling super users to proactively manage issues during breaks or off-hours, transforming unplanned stops into planned interventions. Furthermore, the Unify Analytics™ platform has been enhanced to offer even more detailed system oversight.
This feature is proving to significantly increase performance by up to 6% in Very Large Systems (VLS) with limited buffer cells, streamlining operations for larger setups.
With support for ‘Actions Needed,’ the platform now offers comprehensive visibility across multiple AutoStore systems, providing real-time insights for operational teams.
AutoStore continues to push the boundaries of warehouse automation and material handling with these groundbreaking advancements. As Parth Joshi, CPO of AutoStore, notes, “Our latest innovations, including the Multi-Temperature Solution™, are game-changers for the industry, offering new possibilities for grocers and beyond.”
