AutoStore opens Karmøy Innovation Hub
AutoStore opened its Karmøy Innovation Hub, a configurable test centre built to reproduce warehouse, retail, hot and cold operating environments.
Why it matters
The completed hub gave AutoStore a configurable setting for testing customer-specific system behaviour across retail, warehouse and environmental conditions before deployment.
Evidence notes
- The Karmøy facility was built in seven months and was already complete when the Innovation Hub was unveiled.
- Its environment can be adjusted for hot and cold testing and for examining oxygen changes around stacked goods.
- The hub combines robotic technology with supply-chain and retail infrastructure to test customer-specific warehouse and in-store configurations.
Company context
