In context
In late 2025, warehouse automation was under pressure to handle rising e-commerce volumes, labor shortages, and demand for faster delivery. AutoStore, known for its cubic storage and retrieval systems, responded with a broad portfolio update aimed at high-density fulfillment.
What was reported
AutoStore announced its Fall 2025 product portfolio, headlined by AutoCase, which automates the movement of full cases in and out of storage, enabling case handling and piece-picking in one flow. FlexBins allow multiple bin sizes in a single Grid, expanding SKU assortment and storage density. The Frozen-Only Grid, a configuration of the Multi-Temperature Solution, is dedicated to frozen grocery and healthcare, reducing energy use and improving worker safety.
CarouselAI, launched in Spring 2025, now includes improved bin placement, outbound routing options, and support for lighter item handling. New installation features include a lower-pressure sprinkler design that cuts installation costs by up to 35%, laser scanning and shim technology to eliminate floor grinding, and CubeDeploy for faster software updates.
Parth Joshi, chief product officer, said the launches address major warehouse challenges and expand capabilities to maximize ROI. Veloq, an AI-powered grocery automation company, is among the first to pilot FlexBins, with CEO Richard McKenzie expecting simplified operations and faster order consolidation.
Why it mattered
This portfolio signaled a shift toward automating both full cases and individual items in the same high-density system, offering grocery and logistics providers a path to handle wider assortments and peak demand with fewer resources—key to staying competitive in modern fulfillment.
“We can now automate both full cases and individual items in the same high-density system, delivering the most advanced solution of its kind.”
