The\u00a0AutoStore R5 Pro and R5+ Pro\u00a0is designed to meet the growing needs of large e-commerce and distribution sites.<\/p>\n\n

The scale of these operations and the complexity of their fulfillment processes have increased dramatically over the last few years. This has made it more important than ever to automate your fulfillment operations as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AutoStore has been working hard on improving their Red Line offering by reducing the number of chargers required while still maintaining high performance and flexibility. By doing so, we can provide you with a solution that\u2019s even better at handling multi-shift operations or vertical lift sequencer (VLS) sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AutoStore Team is Proud to Announce Their Newest Release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The R5 Pro includes several new features and improvements!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The AutoStore R5 Pro is a product release that will be available in Q4 2023. They\u2019re making the switch to a Lithium Titanium Oxide battery (LTO) which has a longer lifetime with a 10-year life expectancy versus the 5-year expectancy with the current lead-acid battery. The R5 & R5+ Pro robots additionally have a smaller percentage of chargers to robot, decreasing from a 75% ratio with the current R5 robots down to a 10-18% ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The R5 Pro and R5+ Pro Robot has a longer lifetime, faster charge, low-temperature function (-30C), and higher charge current. It offers several benefits: fewer robots and chargers, reclaimed storage space due to fewer chargers, and lower requirements on your power grid. In addition to these benefits, you get a steady throughput across multi-shift operations as well as robust battery life which means more productivity and less maintenance time spent replacing chargers and robots in your AutoStore system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
