AutoStore introduces productivity software suite for fulfillment system

AutoStore is showcasing Router, a newly developed software suite for its cube-based order fulfillment system that increases robot productivity and efficiency by up to 40%. Router is a disruptive technology that can be implemented in any AutoStore system, whether a large-scale distribution center or a back-of-store, micro-fulfillment center.

“The launch of Router could not have come at a more crucial time in our industry. This revolutionary software, available to all AutoStore users, will change the order-fulfillment landscape at a time when the ability to adapt quickly means everything,” said Karl Johan Lier, CEO of AutoStore. “We recognize the importance of anticipating future challenges. This pandemic has demonstrated to us that the retail and e-commerce market will never be the same as it was.”

Every second, the advanced software analyzes and dynamically adapts to operational changes, accelerating the fulfillment process and maintaining a continuously optimized flow of order movement. The system is able to process and adapt to continuously changing events happening outside the grid, such as new orders coming in, order cancellations, and movement of fulfillment personnel.
