AutoStore AS might be a global leader in automated storage and retrieval systems, or ASRS, but it is still working to innovate. The company today introduced its CubeVerse platform and new artificial intelligence-driven capabilities that it claimed mark “a major step toward self-optimizing fulfillment.”
AutoStore is introducing new cloud software, AI-powered analytics, and robotic workflows for order preparation and system optimization. It said they can deliver higher throughput in existing systems without additional hardware.
“Fulfillment is becoming a real-time, intelligence-driven discipline. If systems can’t sense, decide, and adapt continuously, everything upstream breaks,” stated Parth Joshi, chief product officer at AutoStore.
“With the launch of the CubeVerse platform and our AI-driven capabilities, we’re bringing intelligence across the entire lifecycle — from design to daily operations to advanced analytics to optimizations,” he added. “This is a major first step in our AI strategy and reinforces our focus on innovation as the market leader in automated fulfillment.”
Founded in 1996, AutoStore said it combines robots, software, and AI to automate and orchestrate order fulfillment. The Nedre Vats, Norway-based company said it has more than 1,900 systems in over 65 countries, as its community of employees, partners, customers, suppliers, and connected technologies continues to grow.
CubeVerse addresses fulfillment complexity
After a decade of rapid investment in warehouse automation, the industry is facing a new challenge: 75% of companies told MHI that synchronizing their supply chains is difficult as their logistics networks grow more complex. The question is no longer just how to automate, but how to coordinate machines, software, data, and people into systems that make better decisions and run reliably around the clock.
AutoStore said it designed CubeVerse to unify data, applications, and AI capabilities across the fulfillment lifecycle. Combined with its expanded automation and software, the cloud platform can lower total cost of ownership, improve performance and predictability, reduce operational complexity, and support longer operating hours, including full 24/7 operation, the company said.
CubeVerse and AutoStore Intelligence can provide the data, simulation, and analytics capabilities to customers orchestrate fulfillment decisions without replacing existing orchestration or control layers, said AutoStore.
AutoStore shifts from ‘asset-centric automation’
After more than two decades of pioneering ASRS, AutoStore asserted that it is moving toward “intelligent fulfillment systems that continuously sense, decide, and improve in real time.” The Nedre Vats, Norway-based company said this “reflects a shift in the market from asset-centric automation to decision-centric fulfillment, as companies look to connect machines, software, data, and people into more intelligent, coordinated operations.”
With CubeVerse and AutoStore Intelligence, AutoStore said it enables better, faster decisions across design, deployment, operations, and optimization. These products are designed to work alongside existing warehouse management systems (WMS) and warehouse execution systems (WES) rather than replace them.
For customers, this means finding hidden capacity in existing systems, simplifying operations, and accelerating the path to fully autonomous fulfillment. AutoStore said that lessons continuously drawn from its thousands of live systems worldwide will yield improvements that compound across its installed base.
Spring product portfolio spans fulfillment lifecycle
AutoStore said its Spring 2026 products span the fulfillment lifecycle, from system design and AI-driven optimization to autonomous order preparation.
CubeVerse is a unified platform
CubeVerse provides a single platform to design, deploy, and run AutoStore systems. The company said it covers everything from from design and simulation to deployment, operations, analytics, and optimization.
CubeVerse can simplify integration, keep operations consistent across sites, help customers avoid overbuilding, and keep costs under control, according to AutoStore.
AutoStore Intelligence orchestrates in real time
AutoStore Intelligence applies built-in AI to real operational data to orchestrate fulfillment in real time. It optimizes robot movement through CubeControl, reduces congestion, and clears traffic bottlenecks to deliver higher throughput during peak periods.
The company said its performance will continuously improve over time, without requiring additional robots or grid expansion. Embedded across CubeVerse, AutoStore Intelligence uses more than 20 proprietary models to predict issues, optimize operations, and deliver measurable performance improvements, asserted AutoStore.
CubeAnalytics derives insights from data
CubeAnalytics, powered by AutoStore Intelligence, turns system data into clear, real-time insights and recommended actions. It can help teams identify issues earlier, reduce downtime, and rely less on specialized in-house expertise, said the company.
With built-in AI, CubeAnalytics automatically surfaces key issues and patterns, evolving from reporting into an intelligent system that recommends action automatically.
CubeControl builds ‘robot highways’
CubeControl, powered by AutoStore Intelligence, uses AI to personalize routing parameters and create optimized robot highways for large, robot-dense grids. This improves traffic flow, reduces congestion, and boosts overall system throughput without additional hardware.
VersaAI boosts utilization with autonomous picking
VersaAI delivers robotic piece picking powered by vision and AI, expanding AutoStore’s automation portfolio into autonomous order preparation. Based on the new CarouselAI system, it automates order preparation, consolidation, and staging, improving overall ASRS utilization.
The system allows operations to run longer hours with consistent throughput and lower cost per order. AutoStore said this supports round-the-clock operations without sacrificing performance.
CubeStudio allows for shared designs and decisions
The first major application added to the CubeVerse platform, CubeStudio is a shared, cloud-based environment for system design, simulation, and validation, enabling AutoStore and partners to make data-led decisions together. The company said it is an early proof point of its modern app strategy powered by CubeVerse.
Cube enhancements offer more flexibility
New workstation layouts and expanded bin and case support give customers more flexibility as volumes, SKUs, and workflows change, without requiring grid rebuilds. Enhancements based on partner and customer feedback include expanded case support in AutoCase, simplified WMS integration through VersaPort, and upgraded industrial PCs for large, high-performance systems.
