AutoStore specializes in automated warehouse storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) where small, autonomous robots navigate a cube-based storage grid to retrieve and deliver goods. The AutoStore system is designed to maximize warehouse space and efficiency, offering:
Up to 75% less space usage compared to traditional shelving.
24/7 operations with significantly reduced picking times.
Seamless scalability by adding more robots or grid modules.
Energy efficiency as the robots consume minimal power, making AutoStore a sustainable fulfillment solution.
Revolutionizing fulfillment with AutoStore and THG Fulfil’s cutting-edge technology.
Powered by our proprietary Warehouse Control System (WCS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS), we’ve continuously optimized AutoStore since 2021, transforming our site into the world’s highest direct-to-consumer (D2C) output facility.
The result? Unmatched efficiency and speed:
- 11,790 outbound bin presentations per hour: a new global benchmark.
- Intelligent batching algorithms: boosting throughput while minimizing cycle times.
- Bin wait times slashed from 8.71s to 4.52s: doubling system responsiveness.
- User wait times cut from 21s to 13s: streamlining fulfillment operations.
- Optimized packing stations: enhanced productivity with advanced rebin-to-light systems.
- Smart space utilization: live, data-driven strategies maximize storage capacity.
AutoStore isn’t just a storage solution. Coupled with THG Fulfil’s proprietary technology and optimization know-how, it’s a game-changer for scalability, speed, and sustainability.
