AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™: optimising storage with multi-zone temperature control
The AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™ (MTS) is a groundbreaking approach to automated storage that brings flexibility and efficiency to temperature-controlled environments. The MTS manages multiple temperature zones at the same time within a single AutoStore cube. It optimises storage for both frozen and chilled products and also takes 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 is higher performance, better ergonomics and measurably lower energy costs.
The MTS is designed for environments where product integrity and reliable throughput are essential. It keeps temperatures stable from −25 °C in frozen zones to +6 °C in chilled zones, while placing all picking ports in the comfortable +1 °C to +6 °C range. This keeps the workflow consistent without exposing operators to deep-freeze conditions.
Why the MTS matters for cold-chain operations
Temperature-controlled warehouses often face:
- High energy use from running separate chilled and frozen facilities
- Inefficiencies caused 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 tackles these challenges with a multi-zone design that brings cold storage together in one efficient, scalable solution.
Key benefits of AutoStore MTS
- Up to 40 per cent less energy consumption than traditional separate-zone systems
- A better working environment and improved ergonomics, as operators never have to work in sub-zero temperatures
- Reliable throughput across multiple temperatures, supported by intelligent slotting and batching
- Brownfield-friendly installation, with standardised, low-complexity integration into existing buildings
- Consistent product quality, with controlled temperature, humidity and airflow in every zone
- A single integrated system that manages both frozen and chilled inventory with less operational complexity
Ideal for
The solution suits industries where cold-chain integrity and rapid order fulfilment are essential. These include food and grocery supply, e-grocery, cold-chain 3PL, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, pet care, ready meals and convenience products.
With AutoStore MTS, we deliver best-in-class dense storage, lower energy costs and seamless order picking across multiple temperature zones – all managed through ergonomic operator ports in a comfortable work environment.
