AutoStore
Nedre Vats, Norway
What it is
AutoStore develops robotics and software for automating and coordinating warehouse order fulfillment through a cube storage system. The system combines a Controller, Robots, an aluminum Grid, storage Bins, and workstation Ports. Its Grid can be arranged around the warehouse’s available floor space, corners, and obstacles such as pillars, pipes, or walls. CubeControl coordinates operations and robot traffic, while AutoStore Intelligence uses historical and operational data to optimize routing. CubeAnalytics provides system-status monitoring, predictive outlier information, module performance trends, and dashboards. Open APIs and standard interfaces support connections to WMS, ERP, order management systems, and third-party hardware. The Qubit Fulfillment Platform is designed for complex enterprise networks and multi-site operations, with order management, batching, pick-and-pack workflows, replenishment, and inventory tracking that includes lot and expiration controls. AutoStore says its Intelligence tools train on aggregated operational and simulation data, not customer inventory data. Pricing is on request. The recurring Performance per Pick option typically has a three-to-five-year minimum term, monthly minimum fees, and upfront investment for Grid infrastructure. Systems are delivered and serviced through qualified system integrator partners.
