AutoStore's Global Partner Kardex to Exhibit at "TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026" in Tokyo After Six Months

Kardex Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kardex Japan), a global partner of AutoStore, will exhibit at "TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, July 15 to Friday, July 17, 2026.

This exhibition will showcase solutions that support improved storage efficiency, countermeasures for labor shortages, and labor saving in the manufacturing and logistics industries, with a focus on the space-saving and flexibly deployable AutoStore solution "StarterGrid".

StarterGrid is a package solution developed with the aim of making automated warehousing more accessible. It can be introduced with a minimal configuration and flexibly supports future expansion, making it suitable for companies considering automation for the first time.

Additionally, an exhibitor seminar on the theme of site improvement will be held during the exhibition. We will focus on the often-overlooked waste of "searching, walking, and waiting" inherent in daily operations and introduce methods for reducing it and examples of how to utilize StarterGrid.
