AutoStore持続可能性レポート｜環境保護の取り組み

How do you define sustainability?

Sustainability is the ability to maintain and support a process continuously over time without depleting natural or physical resources. It has many dimensions but is mainly focused on economic, environmental, and social responsibility.

AutoStore’s grid-based robotic system covers all three by increasing energy efficiency, reducing building footprints, and promoting employee well-being.

It provides real results to companies striving to meet the needs of the present without compromising the future.

エネルギー消費量

Powered by renewables

An average AutoStore system with 3 ConveyorPorts™, 7 CarouselPorts™, 1 Controller, 40 Red Line Robots, and 30 charging stations operating 8 hours per day and 250 days per year consumes approximately 8,900 KWh per year per year.

This output can be generated with rooftop photovoltaic systems:

Active Ants implemented AutoStore at Brackmills Industrial Estate in Northampton, England, using 1,000 rooftop solar cells. Former CEO Jeroen Dekker explains the benefits of true self-sufficiency. ‍

People First

Technology made for humans

AutoStore brings products to warehouse workers, not the other way around. Picking and replenishing the Grid from ergonomic workstations, aka Ports, makes work life comfortable, productive, and safe.

Employees at TTI in Texas were long-accustomed to walking a 74,322-sqm (800,000-sf) warehouse and using horizontal carousel technology for fulfillment. Now, all the picking and restocking take place within easy-to-use workstations.
‍
At the PUMA e-commerce distribution center in Indiana, the traditional warehouse environment perceived as "dark, dirty, and strenuous" has been transformed into a tech-forward place where people enjoy work.
While picking productivity and warehouse productivity doubled, employee satisfaction soared for German e-grocer Knuspr after adopting AutoStore.

There's some boxes that range in sizes, from a 20-pound box, to a 10-pound box, to a 5-pound box, and you're doing that constantly for six to seven hours a day, and now (using AutoStore) those parts are all at your waist level.

Where the automation helps a lot is to help us simply move less, carry less, and then of course our employees and workers are less tired. So they can also ensure quality. And at the same time, they can enjoy working with us in the warehouse more.

Space Saving

The densest warehouse storage system

AutoStore provides companies with up to four times the storage capacity in the same footprint. Its density allows for much smaller locations with significantly lower energy consumption. Modular components fit easily around your existing real estate, eliminating the need for costly new construction and lowering environmental impacts.

The high cost of real estate in Switzerland made AutoStore's cubic storage solution a practical and sustainable solution for BRACK.CH, an e-commerce 3PL provider operating a 55,000-sqm (600,000-sf) distribution center. Company founder Roland Brack explains how the system allows for continuous expansion within a limited footprint.
