AutoStore System at Dortmund, Germany

AutoStore (Nedre Vats, Norway; Oslo Bors: AUTO) makes a cube-storage automated storage and retrieval system: a dense grid of stacked bins with small robots that drive on top, digging down to retrieve target bins and delivering them to fixed workstation ports. It is recorded at commercial maturity, with more than 1,950 installations across 65-plus countries as of its FY2025 annual report (over 300 in North America, with 21,000+ robots there); it IPO'd on the Oslo Bors in October 2021.

For the registry it is filed under form_factor=amr within the warehouse-automation cohort, with an explicit classification note: it is a grid-based AS/RS whose robots are constrained to a fixed grid surface, not a free-roaming AMR like Locus or MiR.
