The Bins
Container. Box. Inventory holder.
Container. Box. Inventory holder.
Like blocks, Bins are stacked next to and on top of each other within the Grid. These durable containers hold the inventory. Strong construction and gentle robot handling mean they last forever.
All goods are stored in standardized, specially designed plastic containers called Bins. Every single Bin is identified by a unique number stored in the AutoStore™ Controller database and repeated with a label on the Bin. The system knows the location of every Bin.
Bins are available in three different sizes. Further flexibility can be added by using moveable dividers. These split any Bin into smaller sections, enabling you to store multiple product categories and increase your storage capacity.
The largest Bin (425 mm) is compatible with the R5+ and R5+ Pro Robots.
AutoCase uses a special, purpose-built container to ensure gentle and secure handling of whole cases during automated warehouse operations. Unlike traditional totes that may cause impact damage when cases are dropped in, AutoCase lifts the Bin walls into place, enclosing the carton without any abrupt movement.
With a 425-mm height optimized for broad SKU coverage and compatibility with different packaging types, AutoCase supports efficient and flexible storage without requiring packaging standardization.
Manufactured of HDPE, PP-C or anti-static PP-ESD, the AutoStore Bin is stackable and engineered to withstand hundreds of thousands of movements over years of service. Bins are so durable, the world's first AutoStore warehouse at Elotec in Norway still uses the Bins installed in 2005.
AutoStore Bins are engineered with the durability and versatility required to handle any task within your warehouse walls — even those outside the Grid.
Transfer cells make it possible.
This common system design connects the AutoStore Grid to an inbound/outbound conveyor loop so you can move products anywhere you want —receiving, sorting, storing, picking, packing, and shipping — without manual assistance.
