Controller

A complete control hub & software package for AutoStore.

The advanced control system for your AutoStore

The Controller module is the central control system, the "brain" of your AutoStore. It includes everything required to manage, monitor, and optimize warehouse performance in one integrated solution.

By combining dedicated hosting hardware with intelligent control software, the Controller enables reliable execution, efficient Robot coordination, and continuous operational visibility across your entire system.

The Controller Box

The Controller is dedicated hardware for your AutoStore system, with everything needed to run it in one space-efficient setup:

  • Controller PC

  • Network access point

  • Network switch

Together, these components provide the infrastructure to run your system reliably and securely. The Controller also automates monitoring, routing, updates, and system management, helping reduce manual oversight so your team can stay focused on warehouse performance.

Controller architecture

Software and hardware designed to work as one

The Controller combines industrial-grade hosting hardware with CubeControl™, the software that executes and coordinates AutoStore daily operations.

Together, they power real-time execution, continuously optimize Robot traffic, and keep your system performing at its highest level.

From routing decisions to workflow orchestration, CubeControl ensures efficient movement, balanced workloads, and consistent throughput.

The way of the Robot

Always optimized Robot traffic with Router™

Efficient goods retrieval is critical to high-performance order fulfillment. Router™, the traffic optimization software within CubeControl, manages and optimizes Robot movement across the Grid in real time.

As order patterns shift, priorities change, or new tasks are introduced, Router continuously recalculates optimal pathways to maintain efficient traffic flow, clear congestion, and balance workload across the system.

Simplified software & Port firmware updates

One update process with CubeDeploy

CubeDeploy is the update service for your AutoStore system, included as standard in the AutoStore Essentials Software Package. It provides one controlled process for updating AutoStore software and supported AutoStore Port firmware.

Software and Port firmware versions are matched and validated together, then delivered through a single installer. This replaces separate update paths with a faster, more consistent process that reduces upgrade risk and makes system upkeep easier to govern.

With fewer steps to coordinate, IT teams gain greater control over software and Port firmware versions, while warehouse and maintenance teams can keep systems current with less operational disruption.
