Saving Space, boosting Productivity
The robotic storage and retrieval system AutoStore, which is very dense and therefore space-saving, complements Kardex’s existing range of products and services. AutoStore expands storage capacity up to four times without moving warehouses, increases performance up to ten times without hiring and is the fastest order fulfillment system per square meter on the market.

How it works
AutoStore systems are operated by battery-powered robots that move on an aluminum cubic grid. Within this grid, storage bins are stacked on top of each other. The autonomous high-speed robots continuously pick up the bins, rearrange them and deliver them to the directly connected workstations for order picking and replenishment. Thanks to the modular construction principle, AutoStore systems can easily expand without impacting ongoing operations. The extremely flexible grid system optimizes storage density to its maximum, enabling the inventory to be quadrupled in the same space compared to conventional systems. With a global average availability of 99.6%, AutoStore is the most efficient and reliable storage system in the world.
