The automation investment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hut Group made the strategic decision to invest in an  AutoStore system<\/a> and enlisted the expertise of Element Logic for its installation. Element Logic completed the full installation of the AutoStore warehouse system within just three months \u2013 seamlessly integrating 256 robots, 13 conveyer ports and 56 carousel ports, as well as over 300,000 inventory bins. As a result, six weeks after installation, the grid system contained 10 million units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the increasing demands of its growing business, THG decided to incorporate an additional 124 robots into its AutoStore warehouse system, bringing the total number of robots to an impressive 380.  With an expanded robotic workforce and optimized warehouse system, THG is positioned to meet the challenges of its growing business with unmatched efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
