AutoStore alternatives

AutoStore has sold its cube-based storage system since 1996 from Nedre Vats on Norway's west coast, reaching more than 60 countries through an integrator-partner network with a team of roughly 1,000 people, and it has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2021. Buyers comparing it typically want a different architecture, a different delivery model, or automation for work the cube does not cover. Dematic is the broad-scope contrast: headquartered in Atlanta and owned by KION Group, it fields about 10,000 employees, engineering and service centres in more than 25 countries, and over 6,000 installations across full intralogistics programmes. Hai Robotics, based in Shenzhen, created the autonomous case-handling robot category and supplies goods-to-person systems to warehouses and factories in more than 30 countries, with reported funding of about US$315M. Ocado Group takes a licensing route: its Ocado Smart Platform, built around grid robots and robotic picking, runs with retail partners in the United Kingdom, North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Australia, and the group employs about 21,000 people. Pickle Robot addresses the dock rather than the store: its Cambridge, Massachusetts robots unload floor-loaded trucks and import containers for US distribution and 3PL operators. Pick Dematic for end-to-end system scope, Hai Robotics for case-handling goods-to-person, Ocado for a licensed grocery platform, and Pickle Robot when unloading is the constraint.
