What CubeDeploy changes

CubeDeploy is a completely new way to install, update, and maintain AutoStore software. Instead of manually deploying multiple separate software packages on servers — often involving on-site visits, IT access, and time-consuming coordination — CubeDeploy bundles all relevant AutoStore components into one single, preconfigured installation file. This one-file installation makes it possible to roll out entire software environments with just one click.

This not only drastically reduces effort, but also increases operational reliability: updates are deployed faster, more consistently, and with minimal interruption. AutoStore emphasizes that CubeDeploy is a key element of its future software strategy — focusing on speed, stability, and globally unified IT standards. With this approach, systems can be updated simultaneously worldwide, keeping them secure, up to date, and fully operational with virtually no downtime.

  • Faster updates and minimised downtime: Updates can be rolled out centrally, automatically and without long interruptions. Warehouses remain productive and do not lose valuable operating time.

  • Easy recovery: Integrated recovery options ensure that the previous state can be easily restored in the event of complications. This significantly increases IT security and resilience.

  • Global consistency: Thanks to the standardised update procedure, AutoStore systems remain on the same software version internationally – perfect for companies with multiple locations and global IT standards.

  • Strong performance and future-proofing: Customers benefit early on from the latest features, optimisations and security patches. CubeDeploy is therefore a key component for maximum availability and sustainable system performance.

  • Reduced complexity for IT teams: The single-file installation significantly reduces technical effort. IT departments no longer need to manually manage individual software components or install them on site.

  • Secure and controlled rollouts: Standardised processes ensure that all systems are updated to the same quality – without deviations between locations or installation environments.

  • Predictable maintenance windows: Since updates are faster and more consistent, maintenance windows can be planned more precisely, minimising operational disruptions.

  • Better scalability: Companies that are growing or connecting additional locations can integrate new systems into their existing software landscape more quickly – without the effort of traditional installation processes.

How status C store:IT maximises the added value of CubeDeploy:

For companies running AutoStore within an embedded SAP landscape, CubeDeploy delivers its greatest value when combined with our solution status C store:IT. While CubeDeploy updates the AutoStore software quickly, securely, and in a fully standardized way, status C store:IT ensures that all connected SAP processes — from inbound to picking to shipping — continue to run smoothly.

The SAP add-on status C store:IT handles the complete control and monitoring of AutoStore processes inside SAP, providing a clear and transparent interface between warehouse automation and the ERP system. Thanks to the unified software foundation created by CubeDeploy, status C store:IT can process updates more reliably, minimize integration errors, and bring new AutoStore features into productive use much faster. For our customers, this results in higher system availability, fewer manual interventions, and an automation landscape that remains scalable — both technologically and operationally — in the long term.

Let's talk!

Who will particularly benefit from CubeDeploy:

CubeDeploy is particularly valuable for companies with a high degree of automation, where warehouse operations rely heavily on stable and up-to-date software environments. This includes organizations with complex material flows, high picking volumes, or multiple locations that must maintain consistent IT standards. CubeDeploy becomes especially relevant where frequent release cycles are planned, new features need to go live quickly, or minimizing downtime is mission-critical.

However, to unlock the full potential of CubeDeploy, certain prerequisites should be in place. These include clear internal IT processes, a defined responsibility for software rollouts, and foundational technical standards such as stable network structures and transparent documentation of the existing system landscape. Companies already working with standardized deployment processes — or those aiming to modernize their IT infrastructure — benefit the most. In international rollouts, CubeDeploy enables a uniform, predictable software strategy without the need for custom adjustments at each site.

With these conditions in place, CubeDeploy can fully leverage its strengths: automation, stability, speed, and security
