Technical approach

As reported

Cube grid

Vertical storage racks

Totes stack in vertical cube frames accessed by overhead robots (sequencers). Robots reach down through layers to grab items in seconds.

Robots

Fast multi-level access

Sequencers use pulleys and precise motion to reach items. Multiple robots work the same stack in parallel.

CubeVerse

Cloud orchestration layer

CubeVerse integrates AutoStore with external warehouse software, provides real-time analytics and optimizes routing.

Footprint

High-density storage

The cube system uses 75% less floor space than traditional shelving for the same throughput, because items stack vertically and robots work multiple layers.
