AutoStore vs Rologi Automation Suite

AutoStore develops warehouse robotics and software that automate and coordinate order fulfillment through a cube storage system. The system combines a Controller, Robots, an aluminum Grid, storage Bins, and workstation Ports. Grid layouts can be configured around floorspace, corners, pillars, pipes, and walls. CubeControl coordinates operations and robot traffic, while AutoStore Intelligence optimizes routing with historical and operational data. CubeAnalytics provides system-status monitoring, predictive outlier information, module-performance trends, and dashboards. Open APIs and standard interfaces connect with WMS, ERP, order-management systems, and third-party hardware. The Qubit Fulfillment Platform is built for complex enterprise networks and multi-site operations, with order management, batching, pick-and-pack workflows, replenishment, and inventory tracking that includes lot and expiration control. AutoStore offers cloud deployment, API access, simulation tools, and multi-site management. Pricing is on request. Its Performance per Pick model uses recurring per-pick fees, monthly adjustments, upfront Grid investment, and typically a three-to-five-year minimum term. Qualified partners distribute, install, and service systems.

Rologi Automation Suite (RAS) is a cloud platform for warehouse operations teams managing automation. It connects hardware from different vendors to business systems, with an API layer connecting to ERP, WMS, e-commerce, and TMS. Supported automation includes ASRS, AMR, AGV, shuttles, vertical lifts, and robotic picking. One adapter per technology supports multiple grids and warehouses from a single instance. RAS coordinates real-time tasks across automation types, including workload balancing, order batching, and route optimization. Listed workflows span guided inbound putaway, single- and multi-order picking, staging and buffering, expedition routing, cycle counting, and stock validation. Operator tools include workstation interfaces, stock allocation, performance monitoring, and real-time alerts. Dashboards cover utilization, availability, and throughput, alongside stock prediction and demand forecasting. The platform lists native support for scanners, cameras, and pick-by-light. Its native WMS layer is in development, though customers can connect an existing WMS through the integration hub. Rologi describes RAS as cloud-native, with automatic scaling and no on-premises infrastructure. Pricing is on request, with fees set out in an applicable order form.
