Autostore System / Warehouse Automation

AM Logistic Solutions is a top provider of automated, integrated logistics solutions ranging from robust, automated pallet storage to fully automated goods-to-person systems using i.e. advanced AutoStore technology. Autostore is an innovative solution for increasing efficiency and accuracy in warehouse logistics. The AutoStore product solution offers an automated storage and picking system based on state-of-the-art robotics and software technology.

The main problem that Autostore solves is the optimisation of warehouse processes. Conventional storage systems often reach their limits when it comes to utilising space efficiently while ensuring fast and accurate order fulfilment. Autostore revolutionises this scenario by using compact robots that navigate on a grid above the stored goods. These robots move autonomously, pick the required items and bring them to a central picking point.

By automating the storage process, Autostore offers a number of advantages. These include considerable space savings, as the system is built vertically and therefore makes optimum use of the available space. It also significantly increases the speed and accuracy of order processing, as the robots can work continuously without pauses or errors.

The solution we provided is versatile and can be adapted to the individual requirements of a wide range of industries. By using Autostore, companies can optimise their warehouse processes, maximise storage capacity and reduce labour costs at the same time. An investment in the future of warehouse logistics that not only masters current challenges, but is also equipped for future growth and increased of.

AutoStore, an advanced automated storage and retrieval system, comprises five crucial components, fostering limitless possibilities. Key features include:

1. Scalability and Flexibility: AutoStore excels in adaptability and scalability. Easily accommodating growing storage needs, the system effortlessly integrates additional robots or expands storage capacity to meet evolving requirements.

2. Efficient Space Utilization: The innovative design of AutoStore maximizes warehouse space utilization. Vertically arranged storage bins, coupled with precise robot movements, optimize available space, enhancing storage capacity within confined areas.

3. Fast Implementation and Commissioning: Characterized by efficient implementation, AutoStore minimizes downtime and ensures a faster return on investment. Well-thought-out design and pre-configured modules contribute to swift system setup.

4. High Pick and Pack Speeds: The coordinated movement of AutoStore robots enables impressive pick and pack speeds, enhancing overall performance. This results in accelerated order fulfillment, elevating customer satisfaction.

5. Energy Efficiency: Committed to sustainability, AutoStore prioritizes energy efficiency. Intelligent control systems and optimized operations minimize energy consumption, providing cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly solutions.

6. Integrated Software Solutions: AutoStore's Logics WCS solution incorporates advanced software, facilitating seamless integration with existing warehouse management systems. This ensures efficient monitoring, control, and analysis of warehouse processes.

In summary, AutoStore distinguishes itself through its combination of flexibility, efficiency, space optimization, and sustainability. We take pride in offering an innovative and powerful solution that effectively addresses the challenges of modern warehousing.

The R5 Pro and R5+ Pro, the latest additions to the AutoStore Red Line robot series, are perfect for extensive, multishift fulfillment operations. These robots boost peak-season performance with their quick charging capability and enhanced throughput, potentially reducing robot numbers by up to 15% for more efficient routing and productivity. Additionally, their capacity for non-stop multishift operation can cut charger requirements by up to 86%, saving on investment and installation costs while freeing up space for additional SKUs instead of chargers.
