u003cstrongu003eAutoStore has unveiled two breakthrough innovations that redefine cube storage automation: u003cemu003eAutoCase -u003c/emu003eautomated full-case handling, and u003cemu003eFlexBinsu003c/emu003e – allowing multiple bin heights within a single grid.u003c/strongu003e 

AutoCase – Automating Inbound and Outbound Full Case Flows

The AutoCase innovation enables automated full case handling of inbound and outbound flows in AutoStore. 
 
Benefits:

• Automated infeed of full cases in AutoStore – reducing labor and increasing quality 

• Cases and eaches in one Grid  – Process simplicity by unifying processes to a single system 

• Save space – by eliminating the need for other systems 

• Full Case outbound processing – high speed, accurate and sequenced processing of buffered or staged order cases  

Example Use Cases: 

Inbound full Case: Full Case in – Eaches out

• Automated induction of full cases
• Automated (Robotic Piece Picking) – or manual – picking eaches into parcel

Order Staging: Empty case in – consolidated order Case out

• Automated induction of empty cases
• Automated (Robotic Piece Picking) – or manual – order staging by pciking eaches into empty cases
• Automated outbound processing of completed Order Cases

Buffering: Full Case in – full Case out

• Automed induction of full cases
• Automated outbound processing of full cases – subject for automed sequencing/sorting/consolidation/palletizing.

FlexBins – Multiple Bin heights within a single grid 

The FlexBins innovation enables multiple AutoStore Bin sizes (220,330, 425 heights) in the same grid – maximizing storage density and operational flexibility 

Benefits: 

• Mixed bin heights within one grid enable to store goods in optimal bin sizes and maximizes storage density  
• More SKU eaches and cases (AutoCase) in one system expands the SKU coverage 
• Works with existing Grids, enabling fast upgrades and scaling without disruption. 
• Enabling picking, kitting, order staging and buffering in the grid streamlines the workflows 

The next level of Warehouse Performance 

AutoStore’s launch of AutoCase and FlexBins marks a significant leap in cube storage automation. While AutoStore sets the technological foundation, Element Logic will transform these capabilities into operational excellence 

Terje Skjølberg, Group Sales Director at Element Logic

“Element Logic will enhance these innovations by integrating them into complete, end-to-end automation solutions. By combining AutoStore’s capabilities with our overall warehouse automation expertise, like robotic piece picking, conveyors, sorters, and packaging systems, we will deliver smarter, faster, and more efficient warehouse operations tailored to each customer’s needs” concludes Skjølberg.
