Case Study: The Stevens Company boosts healthcare distribution efficiency with AutoStore

The Stevens Company boosts storage capacity 25% with AutoStore

The Stevens Company, a leading Canadian distributor of medical supplies, faced challenges scaling its operations within an aging facility to meet rising demand and ensure reliable next-day delivery to healthcare providers. To modernize without a complete rebuild, the company implemented the AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system, empowered by Toyota Automated Logistics.

The AutoStore solution, integrated with conveyors and autonomous mobile robots, centralized inventory and streamlined fulfillment. This resulted in a 25% increase in storage capacity, a 99% pick accuracy rate, and a tenfold increase in throughput during seasonal surges. These improvements enabled The Stevens Company to achieve next-day delivery to 96% of Canadians, significantly enhancing its healthcare distribution efficiency.
