- Key Products/Technologies
- AutoStore System: A modular automation solution comprising a grid, robots, bins, workstations (ports), a controller, and software. The aluminum grid provides high-density vertical storage for products, while robots move on top of the grid to retrieve and transport bins. Bins are available in three height options (220mm, 330mm, 425mm), can hold up to 30kg, and can be divided internally to store various SKUs.AutoStore System: A modular automation solution comprising a grid, robots, bins, workstations (ports), a controller, and software.

- Robots (R5, R5+, R5 Pro, R5+ Pro): Independently controlled robots that move across the grid to collect bins and deliver them to workstations. These robots feature an energy-efficient design that recovers energy when lowering bins or decelerating, with ten robots consuming power equivalent to a single coffee machine. They boast high reliability with a system uptime of 99.7% and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeding 3,000 hours.Robots (R5, R5+, R5 Pro, R5+ Pro): Independently controlled robots that move across the grid to collect bins and deliver them to workstations.
