The gear guru is keeping up with the trends and takes a leap into the future with a fully automated warehousing system.

AUTOMATED STORAGE AND PICKING SYSTEM

AutoStore is an automated storage and retrieval system for medical and surgical supplies, housekeeping supplies and small goods in low units of measure. This high-density, space-saving system optimizes material movement to expedite order fulfillment within a healthcare system. And with its integrated logistics system, it lightens the load of supply chain management in a big way.
 

THE FUTURE OF WAREHOUSING

A typical hospital distribution center contains thousands of static storage locations, requiring employees to walk the aisles, manually picking goods from multiple locations. Not only does this take time and lots of labor, but it can lead to costly picking errors.

AutoStore automates these processes and brings the goods right to the picker, decreasing turnaround time, improving operating margins and increasing throughput across your entire supply chain.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Warehouse and picking system for “goods-to-person” concept

  • Grid with high storage density by directly stacked

  • on top of each other container

  • Robots move above the containers on the grid

  • Pick-ports are directly operated by robots

  • Integrated picking stations (ports) for supply and delivery returns

  • Picking directly into the shipping box

  • Dynamic stock transfer during picking (automatic ABC distribution)

  • Host system (WMS / WCS) manages holdings and orders

OUTSTANDING SYSTEM AVAILABILITY


UNIQUE REDUNDANCY

  • Robots can be operated with any port

  • No “single point of failure”
     

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Easy exchange of robots

  • Easily accessible maintenance platform

  • “Plug and Play” functionality

HIGHEST STORAGE DENSITY

  • More efficient use of the available storage space in comparison to other automatic systems

  • Easy integration into existing buildings

  • Flexible configuration of the grids


INTEGRATED COMMISSIONER STATIONS (“PORTS”)

  • Freely configurable configuration of the ports

  • Direct control of the ports by the robots


COMBINED STORAGE AND TRANSPORT FUNCTION

  • Robots have integrated lifting function
