What is an autostore?

Autostore is a warehouse automation system designed for automated small parts storage. Unlike traditional shelving systems, bins are stacked vertically under a grid structure, and robots on top of the grid automatically retrieve items. Speed and frequency can be adjusted to match order volume. Since aisles are eliminated, the saved space can be used for increased storage capacity. Benefits include 24/7 operation, reduced personnel costs, theft protection, and scalability.
