NEDRE VATS, NORWAY (March 17, 2026) – AutoStore™, the global leader in technology-driven, intelligent order fulfillment solutions, today announces that Chief Product Officer Parth Joshi is recognized as one of the 2026 winners of the Pros to Know Award by Supply & Demand Chain Executive in the Leaders in Excellence category. The award recognizes executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage the supply chain for competitive advantage.
“This recognition is a testament to the work our teams do every day, solving real operational challenges for our customers like labor constraints, rising costs, and increasing demands for speed,” says Parth Joshi, Chief Product Officer at AutoStore. “Together, we focus on helping businesses make faster, better decisions and continuously improve how they store, move, and fulfill goods.”
As CPO, Joshi leads the strategy and development of AutoStore’s intelligent fulfillment solutions used by retailers, grocers, logistics providers, healthcare companies, and manufacturers worldwide. His work focuses on helping businesses respond faster to change, handle growing SKU complexity, and operate more efficiently without expanding warehouse footprints.
Over the past year, AutoStore launched several products that expand how customers automate and optimize fulfillment operations. Key advancements from the Spring Product Launch include CarouselAI, an AI-powered robotic solution for automating the labor-intensive task of piece-picking orders; VersaPort, a flexible workstation designed to adapt to evolving inbound and outbound workflows; and the Essentials Software Package, which improves performance through advanced routing algorithms, intelligent reporting, and real-time analytics.

Together, we focus on helping businesses make faster, better decisions and continuously improve how they store, move, and fulfill goods.”
In the Fall Product Announcement, AutoStore introduced AutoCase, which automates the movement of full cases in and out of storage, and FlexBins, which allow multiple bin sizes within a single AutoStore grid to accommodate growing SKU assortments while maintaining speed and efficiency.
AutoStore also launched the industry's first automated storage and retrieval system designed for sub-zero operation. The Multi-Temperature Solution and Frozen-Only Grid enable warehouses to manage both chilled and frozen inventory in a single automated environment, enhancing worker safety and increasing storage density by up to 4x. The systems have already been installed by AutoStore partners Swisslog and StrongPoint in select global locations.
In partnership with vertical farming tech startup OnePointOne, AutoStore helped bring Opollo Farm from concept to deployment, the world’s first vertical farm operated entirely by robots. The system produces harvest-ready crops in just 15 days, cuts water usage by 95%, and reduces contamination risk while moving food from growth to shelf in half the time of traditional farming. Opollo Farm now supplies Whole Foods stores in Phoenix and provides a scalable model for future agricultural supply chains.
