Let's explore these benefits in depth.

1. Complete Configurability

AutoStore offers unparalleled configurability, allowing you to tailor the system to your exact needs. Whether you are in manufacturing or fulfillment, AutoStore seamlessly adapts to your requirements.

AutoStore's robotic system and internal algorithms guarantee unmatched speed and precision. With AutoStore, you'll experience rapid and accurate retrieval, enhancing your overall efficiency. Using pre-determined optimal path configurations, the robots maintain efficiency and high productivity.

Case Studies

Central Canada Distribution Center

A leading Canadian retailer collaborated with Maveneer to implement a goods-to-person system featuring over 27,000 bin locations, 86 robots, and 15 pick/induction workstations. The project expanded storage by 9,500 pallet locations using Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racking and enhanced sortation efficiency with 14 new down lanes—all achieved without unplanned downtime. 

Eastern Canada Distribution Center

In another initiative, Maveneer deployed a goods-to-person system comprising over 20,000 bin locations, 51 robots, and 11 pick/induction workstations. The facility’s capacity was increased by approximately 13,000 sellable locations, and an additional 1.4 million cubic feet of storage space was designed and implemented. The project exceeded budget expectations, delivering substantial savings through Maveneer’s Shared Savings provision.
