Salem, New Hampshire — June 10, 2025 AutoStore, the global technology company driving innovation in order fulfillment, delivers its automated cube-storage system to Purdue University’s Smart Learning Factory at the Purdue Polytechnic School of Engineering Technology. This installation is realized through a partnership between Purdue University and Element Logic, one of our leading and long-standing AutoStore integration partner.
AutoStore’s technology enables students to gain hands-on experience with the same automated warehouse system used by global retailers and logistics providers.
"Seeing our AutoStore system serve as the core warehouse solution within Purdue’s Smart Factory is a great example of how automation can bring theory into practice,” said Parth Joshi, Chief Product Officer at AutoStore. ”Through Element Logic’s integration, students now have real-time access to cutting-edge robotics and software that orchestrate order fulfillment with speed and precision. It’s vital that tomorrow’s engineers are exposed to world-class technologies like AutoStore early in their careers — this not only strengthens their practical skills, but also inspires them to explore how intelligent automation and data-driven systems can transform the way we design and operate future technologies."

"Integrating a top-tier, industrial-grade AS/RS in a compact educational facility is a challenging goal,” said Steve Musick, Smart Manufacturing Engineer for Purdue’s Smart Learning Factory. ”AutoStore’s leading-edge technology and proven scalability made it an ideal choice for our performance, space, and instructional requirements. Robert Humphry, Executive Vice President at Element Logic, and the Element Logic team engaged with us immediately and were equally excited to turn this goal into a reality. Their global expertise in logistics and AutoStore integration makes them an invaluable partner for this deployment and for future endeavours."
"This collaboration with Element Logic will allow our students to interact directly with cutting-edge automation, gaining the skills and insights that will set them apart from day one in the workforce," said Daniel Castro, Dean of the Purdue Polytechnic.
