AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™: Optimizing Storage with Multi-Zone Temperature Control
The AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™ (MTS) represents a groundbreaking approach to automated storage that brings flexibility and efficiency to temperature-controlled environments. The MTS enables the simultaneous management of multiple temperature zones within a single AutoStore™ cube, optimizing storage for both frozen and chilled products, as well as taking the comfort of operators into consideration.
AutoStore™ MTS combines frozen and refrigerated goods in a compact system – with ports in the comfortable +1 to +6 °C range. The result: higher performance, better ergonomics, and measurably lower energy costs.
Designed for environments where product integrity and reliable throughput are essential, the MTS maintains stable temperatures from −25 °C in frozen zones to +6 °C in chilled zones. At the same time, it positions all picking ports in the comfortable +1 °C to +6 °C range. This ensures a consistent workflow without exposing operators to deep-freeze conditions.
Why the MTS Matters for Cold-Chain Operations
Temperature-controlled warehouses often face:
- High energy use from operating separate chilled and frozen facilities
- Inefficiencies created by long travel distances and harsh working environments
- The need to protect product integrity under strict regulatory conditions
- Limited expansion options within existing buildings
The MTS addresses these challenges through a multi-zone design that consolidates cold storage into one efficient, scalable solution.
Key Benefits of AutoStore™ MTS
- Up to 40 percent less energy consumption compared to traditional separate-zone systems.
- Improved ergonomics and work environment, because operators never have to work at sub-zero temperature.
- Reliable throughput despite multi-temperature operation, supported by intelligent slotting and batching.
- Brownfield-friendly installation, offering standardized, low-complexity integration into existing buildings.
- Consistent product quality with controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow in all zones.
- A single, integrated system that manages both frozen and chilled inventory with reduced operational complexity.
Ideal For
The solution is ideal for industries where cold-chain integrity and rapid order fulfillment are essential, including: Food and grocery supply, e-grocery, cold-chain 3PL, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, ready meals, and convenience products.
