For Immediate Release
AutoStore's Black Line Rollout:
The ProMat Event You Don't Want to Miss
North American release and live demonstration of AutoStore's newest addition, the Black Line robotic high-density, high-throughput cube storage system.
10:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 9th, AutoStore's Booth S3923.
Please confirm you will be there to experience this special release.
Twenty-three years ago, AutoStore pioneered the world of high-density storage with its now famous Red Line robotic cube-based, automated storage and retrieval system, which set a new course for high-density/low-footprint storage of single-item and small-case SKUs. Today, with more than 300 systems installed worldwide in 28 countries, AutoStore's Red Line still delivers the industry's most dense storage capacity for DCs, 3PLs, retailers, eCommerce, wholesalers and manufacturers.
Now, on April 9th at ProMat, AutoStore will unveil its latest-generation robotic cube-based storage system to the North American market - the Black Line.
AutoStore's Black Line
"The Black Line combines the industry's highest-density cube storage capacity, with exceptionally high-volume throughput, made possible by our brilliant software and a range of smart innovations," said Karl Johan Lier, CEO and President of AutoStore."
Enhanced Technology
The Black Line showcases state-of-the-art technology, including newly-designed robots, ports/workstations and bins. It is comprised, fundamentally, of a three-dimensional aluminum grid system of self-supporting bins that are moved to pick stations by independently-operating robots. The number of bins installed is determined by each application's requirements. The system's flexibility allows for easy expansion of bins to accommodate growth, and the flexibility to adapt to existing building layouts.
The robots are slimmer and lighter than those used on the Red Line, allowing for tighter robot clusters working within a system. This reduced weight, combined with new direct-drive wheels, enables faster inertia with reduced energy usage. And, new exchangeable BattPackTM Lithium-ion batteries significantly cut robot downtime between recharges.
Black Line BattPack™
Each robot has two sets of wheels that enable it to move along perpendicular axes. This makes it possible for all robots to reach any position, and any bin on the grid independently - virtually eliminating the possibility of single-point system failure providing near 100 percent system availability.
When a robot delivers a bin to a pick station, one of three possible port designs are used to get goods out of the grid. This brings the bin out to the operator who can then complete the desired task of picking, putting or cycle counting. The Black Line provides modules designed to meet the needs of high-throughput requirements at a rate up to 650 bins per hour.
Flexibility to Integrate
Black Line and Red Line Systems Black Line and Red Line modules are designed to work together within the same system. Those companies that have an installed Red Line system can integrate Black Line modules as business and demand grows.
At ProMat, AutoStore will have a live demonstration of both Black Line and Red Line systems working in unison on the same grid.
Media Confirmation
AutoStore's Black Line rollout event with take place at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 9th, at AutoStore's ProMat Booth #S3923. Please confirm you will attend to experience this special release.
