AutoStore adds 7 new features to its ASRS - The Robot Report

AutoStore has announced seven new features for its automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) as part of its Fall 2025 product portfolio, developed through extensive customer and industry feedback. The flagship addition is AutoCase, which automates the loading and unloading of full cases, enabling warehouses to move full cases into storage and pick individual items until the case is empty. This feature targets high-volume operations in sectors such as e-commerce, retail, industrials, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, particularly benefiting apparel and e-commerce customers who ship individual items from full boxes. Another significant enhancement is FlexBins, which allows multiple bin sizes within a single grid, increasing SKU assortment, storage density, and supporting consolidation and buffering. This feature was directly inspired by customer requests to expand system flexibility and capacity. Additionally, AutoStore is introducing a Frozen-Only Grid, a dedicated temperature-controlled system designed to improve energy efficiency and worker safety by storing frozen goods separately while picking occurs at higher temperatures. Other updates include improvements to CarouselAI
