1. AutoStore™ AutoStore™ is a high-density warehouse automation system based on a cube storage structure. Robots operating on top of the grid automatically retrieve and transport bins containing the required items to workstations, enabling efficient Goods-to-Person (GTP) operations. By maximizing both vertical and horizontal storage space, AutoStore increases storage efficiency within a compact footprint while supporting faster and more efficient picking and order fulfillment processes. 2. Kardex StarterGrid Kardex StarterGrid is a standardized solution based on AutoStore technology, designed to make warehouse automation more accessible and cost-effective for small and mid-sized companies. Its Plug-and-Play approach and preconfigured standard modules simplify implementation and lower the barrier to automation. Companies can start with the capacity they need today and expand the system flexibly as throughput requirements and business operations grow.
