AutoStore

AutoStore is a warehouse automation company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Nedre Vats, Norway, that created the cube storage concept for automated storage and retrieval. It targets retailers, 3PLs, grocery and healthcare operators that need to compress warehouse footprint while raising picking speed and accuracy.

The system stacks storage bins inside an aluminum grid, on top of which robots travel to retrieve and deliver bins to pick-and-pack workstations or robotic arm ports. The CubeVerse software platform and AutoStore Intelligence layer coordinate robot traffic, bin placement and order sequencing; customers include Puma, Siemens, UPS, Gucci and DHL, with more than 1,950 systems installed across over 60 countries.

1. Cube storage grid: bins stack directly on top of each other in an aluminum grid, eliminating aisles to cut floor space.

2. Robot fleet: multiple robot models travel the grid top to retrieve and deliver bins to workstations.

3. CubeVerse platform: unified software coordinates robot traffic, bin slotting and order sequencing.

4. AutoStore Intelligence: AI-driven layer that optimizes bin placement and throughput over time.

5. Modular ports: multiple workstation and robotic-arm port options connect the grid to pickers or automated picking.

6. Multi-sector deployment: proven installs across retail, 3PL, grocery and healthcare distribution centers.
