AutoStore technology®️ in the service of eCommerce

The heart of the system is a fleet of robots that replace humans in the tedious process of preparing the order for shipment, which is picking the contents of the package. Robots that move on a specially prepared frame pick up and transport goods within the warehouse, initially completing orders placed by customers online. They facilitate work by delivering products straight to employees who pack the final package, which is then handed over to the courier.

Automation of warehouse processes brings a number of benefits. Firstly, employees gain time and can devote it to other, more complex activities. Secondly, robotization is beneficial for the environment. The AutoStore system requires much less space, and therefore up to 60 percent. less electricity to handle the same amount of volume as a classic warehouse. In Łozienica, the operator is prepared to provide comprehensive warehousing services using the AutoStore system for clients from industries such as fashion, healthcare, home decor, small consumer products, FMCG and luxury goods.
