The building design and choice of automation system can significantly reduce the costs of building and operating a cold storage warehouse...however, innovative operators are also employing supplemental technology to reduce energy costs.

There are a number of integrators that can offer AutoStore hardware today, but not all AutoStore deployments are created equal.

When configured with the appropriate technology, containers can be used to help the supply chain industry adapt to the changes being driven by e-commerce and omnichannel distribution.

This paper reviews the major social and technology trends that will shape the warehouse of the future, analyzes their impact and presents a vision for how the industry can provide the speed and agility to support the expected demands of the market in 2030 through the development of hyper-local, urban distribution centers.

Today almost any improvement in a company’s operations can be described as an ‘innovation’... however, this tendency to describe incremental improvements in such lofty terms is clearly more hype than reality.

With the continued march of e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment, warehouse operators must get efficient at order picking at the “each” level, simply throwing more human labor at the challenge becomes expensive and hard to sustain.

As warehouse operators plan for a future that is difficult to predict, building around the pillars of data-driven, flexible and robotics help ensure their investments not only pay dividends in the short term but can carry them well into the future.

AutoStore continues to gain traction in the market by delivering high-density storage, outstanding application flexibility and unrivalled reliability.

Gain better control of materials inventory and movement in manufacturing.

Learn trends that are putting pressure on the warehouse

Our new paper examines how small incremental improvements (Kaizen) are sometimes not enough, and often slow down innovation; instead, what might be needed is a major step forward or radical change (Kaikaku).

Industry 4.0 is changing how we interact with machines and how those machines interact with each other.

This new e-Book takes a look at the six core design principles you need to integrate into your operations to build and effectively utilize Industry 4.0 capabilities.
