…outstanding flexibility through its modular architecture. But not every AutoStore user gets the same value out of their system. The software that controls AutoStore makes a difference. Here are six ways the right software can help you get the most out of AutoStore. Extensibility Most AutoStore control software operates as a stand-alone system outside of the primary WMS. This can limit the ability to fully integrate AutoStore with other warehouse systems and processes and force operators to continually adapt to different user interfaces depending on what system they are supporting. By contrast, the AutoStore Director in the SynQ WMS functions…

…Kardex Remstar and Cimcorp; and at how shuttles and AutoStore came seemingly out of nowhere to take over a market that was once dominated by horizontal carousels and mini-load systems. Similarly, the cool factor at this year’s event was the adaption of augmented and virtual reality technologies to everything from lift truck operator training at Raymond to piece picking at Bastian. They still have a bit of a science project/pilot feel about them, but watching the demonstrations, you can’t help but feel that someone is going to figure out a way to increase productivity with these new technologies down the…

…– working with a shuttle – I noticed the AutoStore has a large presence at the show and, maybe it’s my imagination, but there seemed to be more AGVs and mobile robots than ever. Shuttles galore: With the explosion of piece picking, it’s no surprise that shuttles to enable goods-to-person piece picking were on prominent display. I noted shuttles at the booths for Dematic, Intelligrated, viastore, Schaefer, OPEX and Knapp to name a few. At the same time, based on the number of pick-and-put-to-light displays I saw, picking mezzanines and putwalls appear to be alive and well. Software is more…
