Case Study: Avnet achieves efficient, space-saving order fulfillment with AutoStore

Avnet boosts warehouse efficiency with AutoStore's 45,000-bin system

Avnet, a major electronics distributor, faced challenges in maximizing storage space and improving efficiency in their large German distribution center. To overcome these issues, they partnered with AutoStore to implement an automated storage and retrieval system.

The solution from AutoStore involved a high-density grid system serviced by 38 robots. This automated solution allowed Avnet to optimally use their available space, eliminate manual picking, and significantly increase efficiency. The system can process 680 bins per hour and has been in reliable operation for over a decade, leading to substantial energy savings and increased customer satisfaction.
