AutoStore has introduced a range of new automation technologies aimed at improving efficiency in high-throughput order fulfillment. The company’s latest innovations include an AI-powered robotic piece-picking solution, an upgraded workstation, an enhanced software package, and an expanded product line designed to make automation more accessible. Additionally, a newly developed service tower simplifies maintenance processes.
Among the new offerings, CarouselAI is AutoStore’s first AI-driven robotic piece-picking system, developed in collaboration with Berkshire Grey. Designed to automate labor-intensive picking tasks, it operates continuously and is intended to provide a fast return on investment for businesses looking to scale automation. An upgrade option, CarouselAI Upgrade, enables existing customers to integrate the technology without significant infrastructure modifications. The solution will be available in EMEA and North America starting in summer 2025.
VersaPort, another addition, is designed to enhance warehouse efficiency by offering flexible workflow adaptability without requiring mechanical adjustments. It allows seamless switching between inbound and outbound tasks through warehouse management software integration. VersaPort will be introduced in Europe and North America in summer 2025, with an Asia-Pacific launch planned by the end of the year.
The Essentials Software Package is a comprehensive suite aimed at optimizing system performance across all operational stages. It includes advanced routing algorithms, real-time analytics, and intelligent reporting capabilities to facilitate continuous process improvement. The package will be included with all new customer deployments starting March 4, 2025.
AutoStore has also expanded its Pio product range with the P200, P400, and P600 models. These plug-and-play automation solutions are designed to maximize efficiency in smaller spaces. Featuring a compact design and an intuitive app for streamlined operations, the Pio range is available through select AutoStore partners and comes with a flexible subscription model.
The newly developed Service Tower provides an alternative to traditional mezzanine-level service areas by integrating robot transport via lift and personnel access via stairs within the AutoStore system. This design aims to increase storage capacity and reduce infrastructure costs while improving accessibility for smaller sites and high-throughput facilities. The Service Tower will be introduced in Europe and North America first, with availability in the Asia-Pacific region by late 2025.
