AutoCase works for both new and existing AutoStore Grids. For new installations, it can be included from the start to handle both cases and eaches in one unified system. For existing customers, AutoCase can be retrofitted into current Grids without major redesigns or downtime. This makes it easy for operators who started with each-only workflows to expand into case handling—without adding complex conveyor systems or duplicating infrastructure. AutoCase upgrades existing installations seamlessly while protecting your original AutoStore investment.

It is a fully native module within the AutoStore ecosystem, designed to simplify workflows and reduce the need for conveyors.
Its operation follows a simple, end-to-end process:

Inbound
Palletized or floor-loaded cases are inducted into AutoCase, which automatically buffers, sequences, and places them into the Grid.

Storage
Cases and Bins are stored together within the same Grid, creating a unified system for replenishment and order fulfillment.

Outbound
When cases are needed for dispatch, Robots retrieve them and deliver them to AutoCase, where they can be sequenced, consolidated, or sent directly to shipping.

Dual cycles

AutoCase supports simultaneous inbound and outbound flows, boosting throughput and maximizing cube utilization.

This connected workflow eliminates unnecessary conveyors, consolidates hybrid operations, and delivers higher storage density with lower system complexity.

AutoCase is designed to transform your warehouse workflows, supporting a wide range of inbound, outbound, and hybrid operations:

Inbound case storage
Automatically induct and store inbound cartons directly in the Grid, eliminating the need for manual Bin induction.

Outbound replenishment
Retrieve cases efficiently to feed stores, picking stations, or palletizers for faster order fulfillment.

Case consolidation and buffering
Automate the consolidation of cases for streamlined, just-in-time order preparation.

Mixed workflows
Support hybrid operations where cases flow in and eaches flow out of the same Grid, enabling flexible, high-efficiency fulfillment.

AutoCase’s versatility makes it ideal for hybrid fulfillment centers managing both e-commerce and store replenishment within one unified system.
