Greater operational autonomy

Every automation decision starts with a number someone has to defend, and that number still has to become a system that meets requirements and expectations.

Better design starts with a clearer business case and better applied knowledge. Compare scenarios, understand long-term cost savings and capacity, validate configurations faster, and move toward decisions that can reduce investment requirements without compromising productivity.

Know the return before you commit

Most automation decisions are made with incomplete numbers. CubeExplore replaces that guesswork with intelligence-guided ROI estimation, giving teams a defensible business case that informs system design, before capital is committed.

Scenarios can be built and compared side by side, so the impact on volume, footprint, and phasing are visible rather than assumed. The result is clearer visibility into long-term financial projections, capacity, and performance outcomes, helping investment decisions stand up to scrutiny from finance and leadership alike.

Design right-sized systems, faster

AutoStore Intelligence brings AI assistance directly into CubeStudio, where system design takes shape. It provides module recommendations against real operational requirements, compare scenarios in one workspace, and move faster through simulation and validation.

Designers and integrators spend less time iterating and more time converging on a system that fits how the operation will actually run. It supports high-impact design decisions with confidence, helping ensure the proposed system meets your operational needs.

Enhancements across key workflows

Continued enhancements to these products make operations more autonomous by bringing more decisions and workflows into the system itself. From case handling to robotic picking, they reduce manual steps, simplify complexity, and help teams run with greater consistency. Expand each product below to see what changes.

AutoCase
- Full support for case sizes up to 600 x 400 mm (the industry standard)
- Work can be distributed across multiple AutoCase stations, so a continuous flow of cases reaches packaging and palletizing rather than queuing behind a single point of execution
Learn more about AutoCase >
Robotic Picking Solutions
- Widens where robotic piece picking can be deployed, addressing the manual steps that tend to sit on either side of the pick itself
- Items are inducted from inbound flow into Bins automatically, keeping throughput continuous and predictable instead of gated by how fast people can feed the system
- Barcode scanning is native to the workstation, so item verification happens where the pick happens, supporting traceability and compliance-sensitive work without additional verification hardware
- Inventory is validated through robotic cycle counting, raising confidence in stock accuracy without pulling staff onto counting tasks
- Same VersaAI™ robotic picking capabilities available to both greenfield SDG installations and retrofit deployments
Learn more about robotic picking solutions >
More VersaAI configurations
- Extends entry-level turnkey warehouse automation into robotic picking through Pio, with throughput up to 540 order lines per hour and an accessible RaaS model that lowers the commitment required to start.
- Order pre-picking lets multiple order lines be pre-picked into one Bin until dispatch, increasing performance up to 3x without adding labor.
- Single-line pre-pick consolidates single-SKU, single-unit orders into one shared container, addressing a flow that typically represents 40% to 60% of consumer e-commerce orders.

Performance and reliability you can rely on

Autonomy depends on visibility across both daily operations and long-term maintenance. CubeAnalytics continuously monitors operational data across the system, giving teams the visibility to compare sites, surface recurring issues, and see which Grids need the most attention. AI-powered summaries also reduce the manual effort of cross-site reporting, making it easier to turn system-wide data into usage-backed decisions.

That same intelligence extends into CubeFleet, where usage data from CubeAnalytics helps teams plan maintenance with less assumptions. Multi-site visibility makes it easier to see how systems are performing day to day, identify service priorities earlier, and align maintenance effort with actual operating conditions. The result is more informed decisions across both operations and maintenance.
