Case Study: iDM Group achieves 10x production growth with AutoStore

Manufacturer increases capacity by 900% with AutoStore

The iDM Group, Austria's leading heat pump manufacturer, faced a significant challenge in scaling its production tenfold to meet surging market demand. Their existing logistics operation had become a bottleneck, lacking the capacity and inventory visibility needed for growth. To overcome this, iDM partnered with AutoStore and implementation partner Hörmann Intralogistics to deploy an automated storage and retrieval system.

AutoStore implemented a high-density grid system utilizing 9 robots and 16,000 bins to maximize storage within a compact footprint. This solution provided the complete inventory transparency and efficient material flow iDM required. The results were dramatic: a 900% increase in annual production capacity, from 3,000 to 30,000 units, alongside a 25% reduction in energy consumption, successfully positioning AutoStore to support iDM's ambitious growth targets.
