AutoStore™, the global technology company driving innovation in order fulfillment, today announced it has surpassed 300 installations across North America.

The 300th system, located at Medline’s new site installation in Aurora, Colorado, marks a full-circle moment for AutoStore. Implemented in collaboration with Swisslog, this latest installation builds on a relationship that began more than a decade ago, when Medline became AutoStore’s very first North American customer. Today, Medline operates over 20 AutoStore systems across the U.S., deploying 1,900 robots to support high-throughput fulfillment and enable next-day delivery to 95% of its customers in the United States.

"Every AutoStore system is more than a warehouse upgrade; it’s a high-throughput advantage. We are a promise that businesses can move faster, serve their customers better, and keep up with a world that does not slow down,” says Keith White, Chief Commercial Officer at AutoStore. “Passing this milestone shows that fulfillment is not just a back-end operation anymore. It is a front-line advantage. Our customers are using AutoStore to stay ahead, no matter how fast demand moves."

Fulfillment Built for a World That Won’t Wait

In the "age of instant", fulfillment has become a competitive battleground. Customers expect fast, accurate deliveries every time. Businesses that can’t keep up risk losing them. AutoStore helps brands meet these expectations by turning their warehouses into high-performance fulfillment engines. With faster pick speeds, near-perfect accuracy, and systems that scale without downtime, companies can serve more customers, more reliably, even as demand fluctuates. Because of this, notable brands — including Ford Motor Company, in collaboration with Kardex — have selected AutoStore to power their automation strategies. Long-standing customers like Sonepar and DB Schenker have also expanded their use of AutoStore technology, underscoring the system’s adaptability and reliability in meeting evolving business needs. Other early adopters, including Best Buy and PUMA, also continue to rely on AutoStore to power their evolving fulfillment strategies.

"When we first worked with Swisslog to install our first AutoStore more than a decade ago, we took a transformational leap in our less-than-case processing and continued to improve our fast, robust, and resilient supply chain". Today, with over 20 systems and 1,900 robots across our network as the world’s largest AutoStore user, that investment continues to deliver on strong KPI improvements. AutoStore has helped us pick faster and stay ready for whatever our customers need", says Daniel Schwartz, Vice President of Engineering at Medline. “It is not just about efficiency. It is about getting accurate deliveries of critical medical supplies where they are needed, when they are needed most".

Across North America, AutoStore’s 300 installations now move millions of products daily, with more than 21,000 robots in operation. AutoStore helps businesses scale smarter and faster, ensuring extremely fast order processing times, with an average item retrieval time of about 27 seconds and an average time from order receipt to dispatch of 1-4 minutes for urgent orders.

As AutoStore continues to scale across North America, each installation is a step toward smarter, faster, and more resilient fulfillment. With advanced robotics, powerful software, and a strong partner ecosystem, AutoStore is not just keeping up with demand, it’s moving things forward.

Earlier this year, AutoStore unveiled its latest technology suite, which includes CarouselAI™, an AI-powered robotic piece-picking solution; VersaPort™, a flexible next-generation workstation; and the Essentials Software Package to optimize system performance. These new solutions, along with the introduction of the Service Tower, are designed to help businesses of all sizes boost throughput, maximize space, and future-proof their fulfillment operations. But technology alone isn’t enough—how we organize and engage with customers is just as critical.

Looking Ahead: A Regionally Empowered Operating Model

Effective May 1, 2025, the Americas commercial organization has been realigned to better support the full customer journey. Partner Sales, Solution Consulting, Business Development, Customer Success, Technical Account Management, and Regional Marketing Execution are now unified under one regional leadership team. This alignment is designed to deliver a more seamless and consistent customer experience, ensuring faster responses, deeper collaboration, and greater value at every stage.

This structure gives AutoStore the agility to respond quickly, collaborate deeply, and deliver a seamless experience across the full customer journey. By bringing together the collective expertise of AutoStore and our partners—drawn from working with over 1,200 customers across 1,650 sites worldwide—we’re better equipped to solve complex challenges, accelerate automation efforts, and drive measurable ROI.

New Leadership for a New Era of Speed

As AutoStore scales its presence, it has promoted Mike Dickson as President of the Americas to lead its next phase of growth. Dickson has grown with AutoStore since 2020, most recently serving as AutoStore’s Chief Revenue Officer and previously, Senior Vice President of Global Business Development. His career spans 30 years of experience in automation. Dickson empowers customers to rethink space as a growth engine. He now leads efforts to scale customer success, deepen integration partnerships, and extend AutoStore’s global impact.

"The companies we work with aren’t just adding automation. They are building fulfillment systems that can handle whatever tomorrow throws at them. Building the most efficient fulfillment systems per square foot, has never been more important, especially in a market where customers expect more and space costs more. At a time when the future of fulfillment is being written every day, our goal is simply to help more businesses, no matter their size or starting point", says Dickson.
