Finding the Right Fit for Your Business
Different warehouse automation technologies are designed to solve different operational challenges. The solutions below highlight what each technology is and where it performs best, helping you choose the right option based on your space, throughput, and growth requirements.
AutoStore
A high-density automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) based on a grid of stacked bins and robots that move across the top to store and retrieve goods. Best for dense storage in a limited space and operations where high throughput and fast pick times are priority.
Libiao Robotics
A Chinese robotics company specialising in intelligent sorting robots and flexible sorting automation. Libiao is suitable for operations that need fast, flexible sortation and handling, especially multi-destination order flows and deployments where modularity and quick scale-up/scale-down matter.
Pio
A plug-and-play, modular version of AutoStore technology designed for small-to-mid-size businesses (SMEs). Pio uses the same cube storage principles but in a simplified, fast-deploy format. Best for scaling brands and warehouses that need accessible automation without heavy custom design. Pio also offers flexibility to add booster robots to cover your peak trading periods, so you can scale up when you need to.
Geek+
A fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that move around the warehouse floor to support sorting, picking, transporting, and other tasks. Robots navigate independently using sensors/software to move goods between points, focussing on goods-to-person workflows and flexible task handling. Best for warehouses with variable layouts or changing workflows.
Maximise Your Space, Multiply Your Throughput
AutoStore’s cutting-edge automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) uses up to 75% less space than traditional shelving. Our autonomous robots navigate a high-density grid to deliver unrivalled storage capacity and picking speeds. We are not just an AutoStore distributor; we operate the world’s highest output D2C AutoStore facility.
- 99.99% sort accuracy with Libiao Robotics
- Batch pick up to 388 shipments with Geek+ AMRs
