Company associated with more than 130 projects worldwide to date
The global explosion in the growth of e-commerce in both the business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) segments has led to increased demand for more scalable, modular solutions to meet rapidly changing customer demands. As customer demand is quickly growing, so too is the need for flexible, robotic solutions.
As one of the most flexible and space efficient goods-to-person solutions available today, AutoStore, a cube-based system, has revolutionised e-commerce fulfillment and small item order picking.
The scalable system can be deployed relatively quickly in almost any warehouse environment, providing dramatic improvements in space utilisation and productivity compared to traditional shelf-based storage. In the UAE, three companies have deployed this solution till date, with more in the pipeline.
“We believe that AutoStore provides exceptional customer value, and we are looking forward to continuing to deliver exciting automated projects based on this scalable, modular solution,” affirmed Alain Kaddoum, General Manager, Swisslog Middle East.
Swisslog is one of the first AutoStore integrators, with the partnership that began in 2009. Currently, Swisslog has sold more than 130 AutoStore projects in 19 countries.
After nearly 10 years of implementing the AutoStore solutions, Swisslog is in the lead for designing, developing and implementing the system. The company has implemented both the world’s largest AutoStore system with 361,000 storage bins and the world’s smallest, with only 1,000 bins.
Swisslog offers AutoStore customers the intelligent tools to prepare their warehouse for future challenges. Developments like this are allowing new design capabilities for AutoStore, improving the efficiency of the concept even further, building on the vision of demand-driven, self-learning warehouses.
