FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \u2013 MELBOURNE, Fla. \u2013 June, 4, 2025 <\/p>\n\n\n

Element Logic is proud to announce the implementation of an AutoStore system, summer 2025, at Purdue Polytechnic School of Engineering Technology\u2019s campus in West Lafayette, Ind.
Element Logic will install an AutoStore system to act as a \u201cmock warehouse\u201d within Purdue\u2019s Campus \u2014 home to a cutting-edge Smart Factory. This is an important piece of Purdue University\u2019s commitment to driving innovation in automation and shaping the future of engineering education

\u201cThis collaboration with Element Logic will allow our students to interact directly with cutting-edge automation, gaining the skills and insights that will set them apart from day one in the workforce,\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel Castro, Dean of the Purdue Polytechnic, said.<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\n


The Smart Learning Factory is designed to provide hands-on experience and immersive learning to prepare the next generation of engineers for a highly competitive and technically demanding marketplace. Acting as a microcosm of modern industry, the facility integrates advanced technologies such as IoT-connected devices, AI-driven optimization, and cybersecurity tools\u2014mirroring the digital and physical systems students will encounter in real-world smart manufacturing environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cAt Purdue Polytechnic, we are committed to giving students access to the most advanced technologies shaping today\u2019s industries,\u201d Castro<\/strong> added. \u201cThe integration of AutoStore into our Smart Factory reflects our hands-on, real-world approach to education.\u201d
The Smart Factory at Purdue brings together a fully integrated, flexible manufacturing environment\u2014featuring several production machines, assembly lines, and now<\/em> a highly efficient AutoStore system that will serve as the factory\u2019s dedicated warehouse solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cIntegrating a top-tier, industrial-grade AS\/RS in a compact educational facility is a challenging goal,\u201d said Steve Musick, Smart Manufacturing Engineer for the Smart Learning Factory.  \u201cAutoStore\u2019s leading-edge technology and proven scalability made it an ideal choice for our performance, space, and instructional requirements.  Robert and the Element Logic team engaged with us immediately and were equally excited to turn this goal into a reality.  Their global expertise in logistics and AutoStore integration makes them an invaluable partner for this deployment and for future endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPurdue\u2019s Smart Factory is already recognized as the nation\u2019s largest, most comprehensive smart-manufacturing learning ecosystem, and we\u2019re proud that a fully functioning AutoStore grid will now serve as its warehouse \u2018heart\u2019,\u201d <\/p>\nRobert Humphry, Executive Vice President at Element Logic, said. <\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\u201cBy giving students live access to the same cube-storage automation trusted by leading global retailers, we\u2019re turning classroom concepts into hands-on data, KPIs, and real-time problem solving.\u201d
With access to the densest ASRS technology, Purdue University\u2019s students, faculty, and guests will be able to test and understand \u2014first-hand \u2014 real-time capabilities of automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing our AutoStore system serve as the core warehouse solution within Purdue\u2019s Smart Factory is a great example of how automation can bring theory into practice.\u201d Parth Joshi, CPO at AutoStore, said. \u201cThrough Element Logic\u2019s integration, students now have real-time access to cutting-edge robotics and software that orchestrate order fulfillment with speed and precision. \u201cIt\u2019s vital that tomorrow\u2019s engineers are exposed to world-class technologies like AutoStore early in their careers \u2014 this not only strengthens their practical skills, but also inspires them to explore how intelligent automation and data-driven systems can transform the way we design and operate future technologies,\u201d Joshi added.

\u201cThis installation not only supports Purdue\u2019s forward-thinking approach to education but also reflects our commitment to empowering the next generation to move things forward.\u201d<\/p>\nParth Joshi, CPO at AutoStore<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

This hands-on access allows students to experience how cutting-edge automation technologies integrate into modern manufacturing environments\u2014offering insights into efficiency, scalability, and sustainable operations.
\u201cThis system and the Smart Lab enable future engineers to experiment and develop skills they\u2019ll use on day one in the industry,\u201d Humphry added. \u201cElement Logic couldn\u2019t ask for a better partner than Purdue University in preparing future generations to reimagine how goods move through tomorrow\u2019s supply chains.\u201d
The AutoStore solution from Element Logic will operate as a fully functional component of the Smart Factory\u2019s logistics and materials management workflow.
