Case Study: Arvato achieves 30% higher storage capacity and 26,000+ daily orders with AutoStore

Arvato boosts fulfillment capacity by 30% with AutoStore

Arvato, a global provider of supply chain management and fulfillment solutions, faced the challenge of scaling its operations to meet the demands of a fast-growing apparel client. They needed to significantly increase throughput and storage density within a limited warehouse footprint without disrupting their ongoing active operations. To achieve this, Arvato partnered with AutoStore to expand its existing automated storage and retrieval system.

The solution involved a brownfield expansion of the AutoStore system at Arvato's Hams Hall site, implemented by Kardex. This added more bins and robots, increasing storage capacity by 30% to 1.2 million units and boosting peak throughput to over 26,000 orders per day. The expansion was completed in just over three months, enabling Arvato to quickly onboard the new client and support future growth with a scalable, high-performance automation solution from AutoStore.
