To solve this, Apotea has invested in automation from Element Logic, which takes care of the entire process \u2013 from in-bound delivery to out-bound delivery, via an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.co.uk\/solutions\/autostore\/\">AutoStore system<\/a>, eOperator and additional functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation includes 20,000 bins (with space for a total of 25,000), 30 AutoStore robots (R5) and four carousel ports, three of which are served by eOperator piece-picking robots. .The goal is to optimise delivery, increase efficiency, and better cope with large variations in order intake that can occur over time. Apotea&#8217;s new installation is a collaboration between Element Logic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autostoresystem.com\/\">AutoStore<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/righthandrobotics.com\/\">RightHand Robotics<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apotea.se\/\">Apotea<\/a>.

After picking from AutoStore, the order goes directly to delivery or back to be filled with additional products. Compared to a manual warehouse, picking performance is ten times higher with AutoStore. The system consists of a grid where robots pick and deliver goods on the smartest available routes in the grid, calculated by the control unit. The robots work around the clock and recharge themselves when needed. The robots move the bins around, and the software controls the bins\u2019 content. The picked goods are delivered to the operator at the ports for further handling. Apotea&#8217;s logistics centre seamlessly integrates this with the other automation zones. Initially, the new capacity at Apotea is estimated to be 800 order lines per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/08\/Apotea-Birdsview-over-the-AutoStore-grid.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo us, it was important to have a system that can handle variations in product size and order intake, and that can expand as we grow.
