Case Study: Yusen Logistics doubles storage volume and boosts throughput with AutoStore

Yusen Doubles Its Storage Volume

Yusen Logistics, a global logistics provider, faced challenges with storage efficiency, high labor costs, and a need for accurate order fulfillment in its Singapore operations. To address this, the company partnered with vendor AutoStore to implement an automated storage and retrieval system empowered by Swisslog.

The AutoStore solution utilized 22 robots and 40,600 bins to automate the warehouse. This implementation resulted in a 60% reduction in workforce, a doubling of storage capacity, and an eighteen-fold increase in throughput. The system also enabled later same-day delivery cut-off times, significantly enhancing operational efficiency for Yusen Logistics.
