Humans are great. Robots are too. Additionally, they are faster, more efficient, failure free and cheap in operation. In other words, they are the future of warehousing.
In today’s digital economy, consumers are online 24/7 and expect a level of service many businesses can’t provide. Conventional warehouse systems simply aren’t built to handle this change, and misalignment between pace and system means more failures and breakdowns.
You can’t afford any warehouse downtime, and rising labor costs and human mistakes eat into your bottom line. You need to get fast and agile to survive. You need to get smart. It’s as simple as that.
By choosing the AutoStore robotic warehouse solution, you’re choosing speedy and reliable workers already trained to perfect their job, allowing human workers to spend their time more efficiently while lowering labor costs. And the benefits are even more:
AutoStore robots bring more speed to operations where it matters most. Despite their power, these robots are incredibly energy-efficient. Did you know that 10 robots use the same amount of energy as 1 vacuum cleaner and that they can easily operate in the dark?
What are the next steps on your robotic warehouse journey and how do you get going? It’s simpler than you may think.
Let's talk today to see how AutoStore can build resilience in your operations to make you stand out from competitors.

Decathlon reaches order fulfillment of 3 minutes
By placing AutoStore in the store’s back room, Decathlon is able to increase the storage capacity typically found in a store.
In fact, the solution allows Decathlon to place about 60% more items on display in the store, spend less time straightening, and both serve in-store shoppers and fulfill online orders from the Decathlon website.
As a result, Decathlon now reaches an in-store order fulfillment of 3 minutes.
“It saves us a lot of time to be able to use the [AutoStore] solution and it has created a really unique shopping experience.”
- Craig Binch, Decathlon Canada Store Leader.
