Case Study: Moen boosts throughput by 435% with AutoStore

Moen boosts throughput by 435% with AutoStore

Moen, a leading faucet brand in North America, faced pressure to modernize its distribution operations due to aging facilities and growing demand. Their challenge was to consolidate operations into a single facility that could handle volume surges and scale for future growth without drastically increasing labor costs, which had already risen by 20%. To address this, Moen partnered with AutoStore to implement an automated storage and retrieval system.

The solution involved installing a high-density AutoStore Grid with 41 robots and 41,000 bins at their new Las Vegas facility, integrated by FORTNA. This system enabled goods-to-person picking at 11 workstations. The implementation resulted in a massive 435% increase in throughput, the ability to pick 700 order lines per hour, and a 60% reduction in labor dependency. For Moen, AutoStore provided faster order fulfillment, improved scalability, and a significant competitive advantage.
