What is AutoStore?

AutoStore is an automated storage and picking system that has been specially developed to make warehousing more efficient. It is based on a modular concept in which storage bins are stacked in a compact grid. Robots move on the surface of the grid to bring the bins to the picking stations, significantly increasing the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse operations. AutoStore is known for its space-saving design and its ability to achieve high storage density and speed.

Steps to successfully integrate AutoStore into your SAP system:

Successful integration of an AutoStore system into SAP requires well thought-out planning and execution. Here are the basic steps on how we implement an AutoStore connection in your company:

1. Demand analysis

During this phase, the company's current needs are analysed. The existing processes and systems are analysed to understand how they can be optimised through the integration of status C store:IT. The objectives of the integration are also defined, such as improving warehouse management or optimising the ordering process.

2. Planning and concept development

Based on the results of the requirements analysis, a detailed concept for the integration is developed. This includes the selection of the required modules and functions of status C store:IT, the definition of interfaces to existing systems and the creation of an implementation plan.

3. System setup and customisation

In this phase, the system is set up and customised to the specific needs of the company. This includes configuring the software, customising the user interface and integrating it with existing IT systems. It is also important to consider the requirements for data security and integrity.

4. Testing phase

Once the system has been set up and customised, an extensive test phase takes place. During this phase, we check whether all functions are working as desired and the integration is running smoothly. Possible errors are identified and rectified.

5. Employee training

Parallel to the test phase or immediately afterwards, employees are trained. They learn how to use the new system effectively. Training is crucial to ensure that all users can fully utilise the potential of the new solution.

6. Go-Live and Support

After a successful test phase and employee training, the system goes live. During the first few weeks after the go-live, a support team is on hand to quickly resolve any problems and ensure that operations continue to run smoothly.

7. Continuous improvement

After implementation and go-live, it is important to continuously monitor and improve operations. User feedback is collected and analysed in order to make further optimisations. In addition, regular updates and maintenance are carried out to ensure that the system is always up to date.
