Case Study: Swiss Post grows YellowCube efficiency with AutoStore

Swiss Post boosts YellowCube with AutoStore’s 32,000-bin system

Swiss Post, the national postal service of Switzerland, faced the challenge of meeting rising e-commerce demands for its YellowCube logistics service, which provides storage and fulfillment for other companies. To offer clients faster shipment and efficient returns, they partnered with AutoStore to implement a fully automated storage and picking system at their fulfillment center.

The solution implemented by AutoStore, empowered by Swisslog, was a high-density robotic grid system with 35 robots and 32,000 bins. This automated system accelerated logistics processes, enabling next-day delivery and maximizing the use of the warehouse's existing storage space. The results for YellowCube included labor and energy cost savings, high process reliability, and the ability to work around the clock to quickly deliver goods to customers.
