[Participant Recruitment] Corporate Seminar "Overcoming the 'Walls' of Automated Warehouse Introduction with Hardware x Software" to be Held

SoftBank Robotics Corp. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Fumihide Tomizawa, hereinafter "SoftBank Robotics"), AutoStore System Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Vice President Japan: Masayuki Yasuoka, hereinafter "AutoStore System"), and GROUND Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hirotomo Miyata, hereinafter "GROUND") will jointly hold an online seminar for corporations on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, to explain the challenges of introducing automated warehouses and the points for operational improvement and on-site optimization after introduction.

In the logistics industry, while interest in automated warehouses is growing as a response to labor shortages and insufficient storage space, barriers to introduction include the burden of initial investment, difficulty in assessing the effectiveness of introduction, integration with existing systems, and operational improvements after introduction.

This seminar will cover how to utilize automated warehouses, starting with the subscription-based automated warehouse "Pio" from AutoStore™, which can be introduced from just 45㎡, and discuss the concept of optimizing the entire logistics process, including the preceding and succeeding operations. It will also provide practical tips for ensuring that the introduction of an automated warehouse is not the end point, by explaining how to use "GWES" (※), a comprehensive management and optimization system for logistics facilities that visualizes work progress, workload, personnel, and inventory within the warehouse to drive operational improvements, along with case studies.

※ "GWES" is an abbreviation for GROUND Warehouse Execution System, a WES (Warehouse Execution System: Logistics Facility Operation Management System) independently developed by GROUND.
