The partnership with AutoStore not only serves to increase the efficiency of existing systems, but also to expand into new markets and regions. The goal is to provide automated storage solutions across the board in order to optimally serve customers' global requirements.

🤖 Increased efficiency through robotics

The use of more than 1,000 AutoStore robots in DHL Supply Chain's fleet has significantly increased efficiency and throughput in the logistics centers. AutoStore systems are particularly suitable for companies that need to pick and ship a large number of small products and items quickly and reliably. This technology makes it possible to make maximum use of the space in the warehouses while reducing operating costs.

📦 Accelerated implementation and capacity expansion

DHL Supply Chain is committed to becoming one of AutoStore's largest 3PL (third-party logistics) customers. The existing and new systems are intended to help strengthen the commitment to digitalization and automation. Future AutoStore facilities at DHL are designed to increase capacity by accommodating up to 800,000 containers, making warehouse operations even further optimized and scalable.

DHL Supply Chain and AutoStore share the goal of advancing and accelerating warehousing and delivery technology to improve capabilities to meet diverse customer needs. The innovative AutoStore technology enables DHL to efficiently manage and optimize inventory while providing the ability to quickly respond to the dynamic demands of the market.

Automating warehouse processes is more than just a technical gimmick; it is a necessary development in a world that increasingly demands fast, flexible and reliable supply chains. With advancing globalization and the growth of e-commerce, the demands on logistics companies to design their processes efficiently and sustainably are increasing. The combination of DHL Supply Chain's global reach and AutoStore's innovative robotics technology promises to overcome these challenges.

🌿 Sustainability and flexibility in focus

In addition to efficiency and speed, sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in the logistics industry. AutoStore systems are known for promoting energy efficiency and optimized use of space. With the reduced need for large warehouse spaces and the use of robots that operate on rechargeable batteries, the technology contributes to greener warehouse operations. This not only corresponds to the ecological goals of DHL Supply Chain, but also meets the wishes of environmentally conscious customers.

Automation is also changing the world of work in distribution centers. DHL Supply Chain attaches great importance to continuously educating its employees and training them to work with new technologies. New jobs are being created in the control and maintenance of automated systems, which further develops and enhances the role of humans in logistics.

🚀 Outlook and visions for the future

The partnership between DHL Supply Chain and AutoStore is more than just a reaction to current trends. It is part of a long-term vision that aims to actively shape the logistics industry and prepare it for the future.
