AutoStore is a compact goods-to-person system that stores products in stacked bins within a grid structure. Robots travel across the top to retrieve the right bin and deliver it to a workstation for picking or replenishment. The system offers high storage density and short travel distances, making it an ideal solution for fast, accurate order fulfillment.

In operation, each robot communicates with a central controller that manages movement, bin allocation, and routing. ARCO integrates AutoStore into complete warehouse environments by connecting it with conveyors, lifts, and control software. This ensures smooth material flow and real-time coordination with upstream and downstream processes.

The result is a highly efficient setup that grows with demand. Capacity can be expanded by adding robots or ports without interrupting production. With ARCO’s experience in automation and system integration, AutoStore becomes a fully connected part of your warehouse operation, optimized for performance and continuity.

Key features of AutoStore

ARCO integrates AutoStore systems to create compact, high-performance storage and picking environments. The setup reduces manual work, saves valuable space, and keeps throughput consistent. Each installation combines smart automation with clear data insight, helping operators maintain speed and accuracy with minimal physical effort.

High storage density
Bins are stacked in a grid structure that uses up to four times less space than conventional shelving, making it ideal for compact facilities.
Efficient goods-to-person handling
Robots retrieve and deliver bins directly to pick stations, reducing walking distances and improving picking speed and accuracy.
Scalable and flexible design
Capacity can be expanded easily by adding robots or ports without interrupting ongoing operations, ensuring continuous growth and performance.
Data-driven optimization
Integrated control software collects and analyzes operational data, giving clear insights into productivity and supporting further process improvements.

How AutoStore work in practice

In practice, operators work at ports while robots travel across the grid to retrieve stacked bins and deliver them for picking or replenishment. The controller coordinates traffic and bin allocation, which keeps movement predictable and fast. ARCO connects AutoStore with conveyors, lifts, and your WMS, so put-away, picking, and order handoff stay in sync and traceable across shifts. This integration keeps walk time low and supports steady throughput in compact footprints. Capacity can grow without major rebuilds by adding robots or ports while the system keeps running. That makes it easier to handle peaks and expand storage when SKUs increase.
