Case Study: Peterhans Handwerkercenter achieves near-zero picking errors and faster fulfillment with AutoStore

Peterhans Handwerkercenter - Customer Case Study

AutoStore implemented a warehouse automation system for Peterhans Handwerkercenter, a Swiss retailer of tools and building materials. The customer was facing the challenge of needing to expand and improve its warehouse operations to meet rising expectations for same-day delivery and faster in-store order fulfillment while managing a vast inventory of 500,000 items.

The solution involved installing an AutoStore grid system with robots and workstations. This automated small-parts warehouse streamlined picking processes and drastically reduced the space needed for storage by 80%. For Peterhans, the results included the ability to fulfill orders in under two minutes with nearly zero errors, meeting customer expectations for speed and accuracy. AutoStore also saved significant floor space, making future expansion possible.
