The High-Throughput Playbook

Customer expectations are rising fast: more orders, shorter delivery windows, greater complexity. For warehouses, keeping up isn’t just about moving faster. It’s about delivering speed, reliability and scale together.

That’s why AutoStore created The High-Throughput Playbook.

This practical guide explores how leading warehouses are rethinking throughput to meet demand at pace, without adding complexity, cost or risk. Inside, you’ll discover how high-throughput operations combine:

• Speed without bottlenecks or accuracy trade-offs
• Reliability with 99%+ uptime even at peak
• Cost-efficiency through smarter automation and reduced labor dependency
• Density and flexibility to unlock capacity without expanding footprint
• Scalability that grows with demand, season after season

Grounded in real-world use cases from brands like PUMA, Boozt, Benetton and THG, the playbook shows how modular, goods-to-person automation enables warehouses to outperform larger, more complex systems, at a fraction of the space and energy consumption. At the heart of this approach is AutoStore, whose goods-to-person AS/RS is engineered to deliver high throughput, adapt to change and keep operations moving forward whatever demand brings next.
