AutoStore + Why a full-stack intralogistics integrator matters

In today’s fast-paced, e-commerce-driven world, the warehouse is the heart of your operation. And just like a heart, it needs to be powerful, efficient, and adaptable to keep your business thriving. But as you look to automate and optimize your warehouse, you’re faced with a dizzying array of technologies and vendors. How do you choose the right solutions? And how do you ensure they all work together seamlessly?
The answer lies in a full-stack integrator.

What is a Full-Stack Integrator?

A full-stack integrator is the answer to a critical question:

“How do I ensure all my automation technology works together without creating new problems?”

They are a partner that takes on total responsibility for your project’s success. By providing a complete, end-to-end solution—from design and consulting to hardware/software implementation and ongoing support—they eliminate the risks of multi-vendor chaos. They don’t just specialize in one or two technologies; they have a deep, holistic understanding of the entire intralogistics ecosystem, allowing them to architect a seamless system that is perfectly optimized for your specific operational needs, one that behaves like one machine from receiving to shipping.

The Power of One: The Undeniable Benefits of a Single Partner

Choosing an integrator is about more than just technology; it’s about choosing a partner. Working with a full-stack integrator like Element Logic isn’t just easier—it’s smarter. Here’s why:

  • Unified Communication & Accountability: Instead of you managing a complex web of vendors, you have one dedicated partner. This means a single point of contact, clear accountability, and no risk of crucial details getting lost in translation between different suppliers. All communication is centralized, making the entire process transparent and efficient.
  • Accelerated Implementation & ROI: Our integrated team manages everything from initial design to final commissioning. Because we control the entire process, we eliminate the delays that often arise from coordinating multiple independent companies. The result is a seamless workflow, faster implementation, and a quicker path to your return on investment.
  • Drastically Reduced Risk: When you partner with multiple vendors, who is responsible when technologies don’t integrate properly? With a full-stack integrator, the answer is simple: we are. We take complete ownership of the project’s success, guaranteeing that all components—from hardware to software—function as a single, cohesive system. This eliminates costly “finger-pointing” and protects your investment.
  • A Truly Holistic & Future-Proof Solution: We don’t just solve today’s problems. We look at your entire operation trough data to design a solution that optimizes your unique workflow and positions you for future growth. By understanding the data and big picture, we ensure every component works in synergy to maximize efficiency, scalability, and overall ROI. Your system is designed not just for what you need now, but for where you’re going next.

what “full-stack” is composed of

  • as/rs & goods-to-person: autostore® for high-density storage and fast picks. AutoStore
  • Conveyors & sortation: cross-belt, tilt-tray, SORTRAK G4, and JOEY pouch sortation—plus conveyors—to route every sku efficiently. Element Logic
  • software & orchestration: our software ecosystem (incl. wcs) coordinates multi-tech flows end-to-end. Element Logic
  • robotic piece-picking: eOperator integrated with autostore to automate each pick, 24/7. Element Logic
  • put walls / put-to-light: including Fast Fetch for rapid consolidation. Element Logic
  • print & apply: PandA automated label print-and-apply for high-throughput shipping. Element Logic
  • mobile robotics: AMRs/AGVs to flex capacity without heavy infrastructure. Element Logic

Synergy in Action: How Our Technologies Work as One

To truly understand the power of a full-stack integrator, let’s follow an item’s journey through a warehouse powered by Element Logic. It begins in the hyper-dense core of AutoStore®, where goods are stored and retrieved at high speed. Once an item is picked—perhaps by our 24/7 eOperator robotic arm—it’s placed onto a network of conveyors or sortation systems.

From there, our WCS software, the brain of the operation, takes over. It orchestrates the item’s path, routing it via advanced sortation—like a SORTRAK G4 or a JOEY Pouch Sorter—to a consolidation area. then, an operator uses a Put-to-Light wall to rapidly assemble the customer’s order. For maximum flexibility, AMRs might be used to transport goods between zones without fixed infrastructure.

Finally, the packed order is sent to shipping, where an automated Print & Apply system generates and attaches the label at high speed. Every step is connected, visible, and optimized by our orchestrated intelligent system. That is the power of a true end-to-end solution.

Case Study: Apotea’s Leap into 24/7 Robotic Fulfillment

The Challenge: Sweden’s largest online pharmacy, Apotea, needed to scale its operations to handle a massive volume of ~50,000 orders per day while improving delivery speed.

The Integrated Solution: Element Logic implemented a comprehensive goods-to-person and robotics solution featuring:

  • AutoStore: A system with 30 robots and 20,000 bins for high-density storage.
  • eOperator: The world’s first fully integrated robotic piece-picking solution, with 3 robots enabling full automation.
  • Performance: The combined system provides an initial capacity of 800 order lines per hour.

The Results: The seamless integration of these technologies unlocked a new level of performance for Apotea, leading to:

Faster Deliveries: A significant competitive advantage in their market.

24/7 Operations: Fully automated picking around the clock.

Higher Order Capacity: The ability to scale and grow efficiently.
