AutoStore announces major software advances

AUTOSTORE HAS launched the CubeVerse platform and new AI-driven capabilities, marking a major step toward self-optimising fulfillment. AutoStore is introducing new cloud software, AI-powered analytics, and robotic workflows for order preparation and system optimisation that can deliver higher throughput in existing systems without additional hardware.

“Historically improving performance meant adding bots or making trade-offs,” says Parth Joshi, chief product officer at AutoStore. “With these developments, we are aiming to change that.”

The announcement reflects a shift in the market from asset-centric automation to decision-centric fulfillment, as companies look to connect machines, software, data, and people into more intelligent, coordinated operations. With CubeVerse and AutoStore Intelligence, AutoStore enables better, faster decisions across design, deployment, operations, and optimisation – working alongside existing WMS and WES solutions rather than replacing them.

For customers, this means unlocking hidden capacity in existing systems, simplifying operations, and accelerating the path to fully autonomous fulfillment, powered by learnings continuously drawn from AutoStore’s global community of thousands of live systems.

After a decade of rapid investment in warehouse automation, the industry is facing a new challenge: 75% of companies say synchronising their supply chain is difficult as logistics networks grow more complex. The question is no longer just how to automate, but how to coordinate machines, software, data, and people into systems that make better decisions and run reliably around the clock.

Parth says: “Fulfillment is becoming a real-time, intelligence-driven discipline. If systems can’t sense, decide, and adapt continuously, everything upstream breaks. With the launch of the CubeVerse platform and our AI-driven capabilities, we’re bringing intelligence across the entire lifecycle—from design to daily operations to advanced analytics to optimisations. This is a major first step in our AI strategy and reinforces our focus on innovation as the market leader in automated fulfillment.” 

CubeVerse and AutoStore Intelligence provide the data, simulation, and analytics capabilities that enable this shift—helping customers orchestrate fulfillment decisions across the system lifecycle without replacing existing orchestration or control layers.

The Spring 2026 Product Portfolio 

The wide-ranging new products comprise:

CubeVerse Platform 

CubeVerse provides a single platform to design, deploy, and run AutoStore systems. It spans the full system lifecycle—from design and simulation to deployment, operations, analytics, and optimisation. CubeVerse simplifies integrations, keeps operations consistent across sites, and helps customers avoid overbuilding and keep costs under control. AutoStore has partnered with Databricks to build the platform.

AutoStore Intelligence

AutoStore Intelligence applies built-in AI to real operational data across the platform to orchestrate fulfillment in real time. It optimises robot movement through CubeControl, reduces congestion, and clears traffic bottlenecks to deliver higher throughput during peak periods, with performance continuously improving over time, without requiring additional robots or grid expansion. Embedded across CubeVerse, AutoStore Intelligence uses 20+ proprietary models to predict issues, optimise operations, and deliver measurable performance improvements across the automation lifecycle. 

CubeAnalytics 

CubeAnalytics, powered by AutoStore Intelligence, turns system data into clear, real-time insights and recommended actions. It helps teams identify issues earlier, reduce downtime, and rely less on specialised in-house expertise. With built-in AI, CubeAnalytics automatically surfaces key issues and patterns, evolving from reporting into an intelligent system that recommends action automatically. This replaces UnifyAnalytics.

CubeControl 

CubeControl, powered by AutoStore Intelligence, uses AI to personalise routing parameters and create optimised robot highways for large, robot-dense grids. This improves traffic flow, reduces congestion, and boosts overall system throughput without additional hardware.

VersaAI 

VersaAI delivers robotic piece picking powered by vision and AI, expanding AutoStore’s automation portfolio into autonomous order preparation. The system automates order preparation, consolidation, and staging, improving overall AutoStore utilisation. It enables operations to run longer hours with consistent throughput and lower cost per order. This supports 24/7 operations without sacrificing performance. 

CubeStudio

First major application added to the CubeVerse platform, CubeStudio is a shared, cloud-based environment for system design, simulation, and validation, enabling AutoStore and partners to make data-led decisions together. It serves as an early proof point of AutoStore’s modern app strategy powered by CubeVerse. 

Cube Enhancements 

New workstation layouts and expanded bin and case support give customers more flexibility as volumes, SKUs, and workflows change, without requiring grid rebuilds. Enhancements based on partner and customer feedback include expanded case support in AutoCase, simplified WMS integration through VersaPort, and upgraded industrial PCs for large, high-performance systems.
