Features of the AutoStore ASRS System
Product is stored in Bins which are stacked on top of each another in the Grid, creating high density storage.
The aluminum grid provides storage space for the bins & tracks for the robots to drive on. Made of only 17 unique parts, it is modular & flexible, making it easy to install & fit to any floorplan.
Robots travel along the top of the grid, retrieving Bins & delivering them to Ports, or workstations. Robots are able to access any bin & deliver to any Port in the system.

AutoStore FAQs
AutoStore robots are small carts with wheels that automate the storage and retrieval of inventory. The robots glide across the top of an aluminum grid and have an elevator-type mechanism that is able to identify, retrieve, and transport inventory orders within a facility.
An AutoStore ASRS system stores inventory in bins that stack on top of one another creating columns. The inventory within these bins is moved by robots. These robots are small carts with wheels that glide across the top of the aluminum grid and have an elevator-type mechanism that digs out the necessary bins. The robots take the bins needed to create the orders and bring them to a port. The person at the port is presented with one bin at a time and told which item(s) to take out to complete the order.
