Case Study: Siemens achieves 78% faster picking and 40% cost savings with AutoStore

Siemens Achieves 78% Faster Picking, Major Cost Savings

Siemens, a global technology leader in industrial automation, sought to strengthen the operational efficiency and precision of its supply chain at a production facility in Chemnitz, Germany. The company faced the challenge of managing a complex product portfolio and required a highly scalable and reliable solution for handling critical production components. To address this, they partnered with AutoStore to implement an automated storage and retrieval system.

The solution from AutoStore consisted of a high-density grid system serviced by 34 robots. This automated setup enabled 24/7 operations and a seamless material flow to production workstations. The implementation delivered significant results, including a 78% increase in picking productivity, a 40% reduction in staffing costs, and nearly 60% savings in storage space. The AutoStore system provided Siemens with a resilient and scalable foundation that optimized space utilization and ensured consistent production workflows.
