FAQ

1. What is the maximum weight to be stored in a Bin?
The maximum load is 30 kg per Bin. There is an overweight control in every Port, preventing too heavy Bins being added.

2. What is the maximum item size?
The maximum size for items corresponds to the inner measure of the Bin.
High Bin: 600 mm x 400 mm x 330 mm (nominal)
Low Bin: 600 mm x 400 mm x 220 mm (nominal)

3. Do I need one Bin per product (category)?
No. Bins can be subdivided into several compartments to allow for multiple product categories in one Bin.

4. Will AutoStore work with our existing ERP/Warehouse system?
Very likely. AutoStore integrates with most existing Warehouse Management Systems.

5. Are my goods traceable?
Absolutely. All Bin movement is constantly logged and Bins (as well as their content) are always traceable.

6. Is it possible to install AutoStore in a warehouse with two or more floor levels?
Yes. As long as the top of the Grid is plane.

7. Do I need to remove all obstacles in my warehouse before installing AutoStore?
No. AutoStore can be built around obstacles in an existing warehouse, e.g. walls or columns.

8. How many Bins can be stacked on top of each other?
The maximum stacking height is 16 high Bins or 24 low Bins.

9. Do I need different Ports for picking and adding goods to the system?
No. Every Port can be configured according to customer requirements.

10. How long does it take to pick a Bin from the bottom of the Grid?
The theoretical maximum time in a full height Grid (16 bins) with only one Robot is 3 minutes and 40 seconds. However, real life performance is much shorter depending on the configuration. More info here
