Kardex has introduced the StoreX Calculator to enable supply chain directors and other industry professionals to more effectively evaluate AutoStore technology tailored specifically to their operations. It provides a customized, data-rich analysis of the operational optimization provided by AutoStore and empowered by Kardex systems.
The tool generates a comprehensive performance report for an AutoStore solution in the user’s facility, aggregated from users inputting key warehouse metrics, such as order volume, storage capacity needs and labor requirements. Each report produced by the StoreX Calculator provides critical data, including: system cost, ROI and payback period, number of robots required, operator requirements, FTE reduction, footprint of the storage solution, SKU storage capacity, throughput metrics, and annual operational cost savings (comparing manual vs. automation).
Using data acquisition and analysis technology, the StoreX Calculator delivers simulations of different operational scenarios and evaluates how AutoStore, empowered by Kardex, can enhance productivity, reduce costs, and optimize space utilization in a specific warehouse environment. Users receive customized reports that outline key operational metrics, ensuring that each AutoStore system is optimized for their unique business needs.
