Cube-storage automation built as a fleet of battery-powered autonomous robots (Red Line R5/R5 Pro, Black Line B1) operating on a 3D grid, coordinated by AutoStore's own routing/orchestration software (advanced routing algorithms in the Essentials package); Spring 2025 added CarouselAI, an AI-powered robotic piece-picking solution co-developed with Berkshire Grey, making picking learning-based end-to-end. Not a crane/shuttle AS/RS: throughput comes from independent mobile robots plus fleet software.
