Autostore Overview
Autostore is a leading IT computerised stock control system and solution for the end-to-end management, movement and storage of goods. Based on an open and distributed technology platform that is fully enabled for national and international intermodal and eLogistics operations, Autostore gives you pinpoint control of your cargo in real-time.
Autostore sits at the heart of goods and inventory operations for some of the world's biggest intermodal, manufacturing and logistics organisations. Exceptional management reporting and simplicity give you the information you need, when and where you need it – whether for CEO, customer or crane operator. And being modular, you can develop Autostore for your business at a rate that suits your needs – and with minimal disruption.
Autostore saves you money by improving supply chain performance – it maximises your storage capability, streamlines your inventory management, minimises your storage footprint, reduces your fulfilment cycles and cuts your labour costs.
Autostore integrates comfortably with your existing ERP, transport management, business and community systems and network infrastructure to offer a true enterprise capability that is fully EDI, Internet and Extranet compatible.
Autostore operates in networked client/server computing environments where the PC is the predominant interactive and presentation device at user workstations. Working in real-time, its server system controls the application logic, process flows, supervision of the mechanical handling equipment (e.g. Gantry Cranes, Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes, Straddle Carriers, Reach Trucks, Stacker Cranes, etc.) as well as the central relational database.
A choice of standard or customised interfaces allow Autostore to communicate easily with corporate, community and client computer systems as well as supervise and control all goods handling equipment.
