Case Study: VHIT achieves 4x storage capacity with AutoStore

AutoStore Brings Ultimate Space Efficiency to VHIT

VHIT, an Italian automotive components manufacturer, faced significant operational challenges due to space constraints at its Offanengo facility. As the company expanded its business to serve smaller customers with diverse spare parts needs, its legacy pallet-based warehouse infrastructure lacked the flexibility and efficiency required. VHIT needed a solution that would overcome these spatial limitations while aligning with its sustainability goals, leading them to partner with AutoStore.

The solution implemented by AutoStore was an automated storage and retrieval system consisting of a grid, energy-efficient robots, and conveyor ports. This system quadrupled VHIT's storage capacity within the existing warehouse footprint and was installed in just five months. The results for VHIT included achieving industry-leading storage density, gaining operational scalability for future growth, and significantly reducing energy consumption, which aligned with their sustainability objectives.
