Case Study: Pati-Versand boosts picking efficiency with AutoStore

Pati-Versand boosts picking to 1,040 orders per hour with AutoStore

Pati-Versand, a German grocery supplier specializing in bakery and confectionery products, faced the challenge of boosting efficiency in their dynamic and ever-changing industry. In 2018, they decided to install a warehouse automation system to meet these demands and chose to partner with vendor AutoStore, whose system was implemented by HÖRMANN Intralogistics.

The AutoStore solution installed at their Herzlake warehouse consists of a grid with 25,000 bins serviced by 32 autonomous robots. This system handles 110 incoming storage batches and retrieves 1,040 orders per hour through eight workstations. For Pati-Versand, AutoStore dramatically increased picking rates, reduced manual work stress, and resulted in very few picking errors. This led to increased customer satisfaction, lower energy costs, and optimal use of their available storage space.
