Welcome to another episode of the Interlinks Podcast. In this episode, I talk to Jake Fisher, Business Development Manager for AutoStore in the UK, and Conor Mannion, Business Development Manager for AutoStore in Ireland.AutoStore is a Norwegian technology company specializing in advanced automated storage and retrieval systems designed to significantly enhance warehouse efficiency. The company has revolutionized warehousing with cube-based storage solutions, utilizing a modular grid system where autonomous robots rapidly retrieve and deliver inventory bins to order-picking stations. This approach optimizes warehouse space and streamlines order fulfillment, transforming operations across a variety of sectors.In our conversation today, I discuss with Jake and Conor a range of critical topics, including:What exactly is an AutoStore, how it's designed, and how it works in practice.Typical applications and ideal business environments for AutoStore systems.Why companies invest significantly in automated solutions instead of traditional manual methods.The broad range of business benefits driving companies toward automated storage solutions—such as labor efficiency, quality assurance, consistency, control, and accuracy.How businesses can effectively determine whether an automated solution like AutoStore is right for their specific stock profiles, product types, and throughput requirements to ensure strong ROI.The role of human operators at pick stations today and the potential future of fully robotic picking automation.AutoStore’s strategic choice of operating through OEM partnerships with integrators rather than directly with end-users.Insights into the future of AutoStore, including ongoing enhancements, improvements, and potential new product innovations.Join the ongoing conversation about this topic and all other episodes on the Interlinks Podcast on Reddit at r/InterlinksPodcast.
