How CarouselAI Works
- Inventory Bins Delivered to AutoStore Port
The AutoStore robots retrieve inventory bins out of the storage grid and deliver them to the CarouselPort. - Outbound Containers Arrive to Pick Cell
An in-feed conveyor transports totes or cartons directly to the picking cell to receive items for outbound shipment. - Kardex FulfillX Dictates The Location, Order, and Quantity
FuflillX acts as the integration hub between AutoStore and CarouselAI, controlling the bin compartment and quantity for each pick. It dictates the location, order, and quantity for the robot to pick, ensuring seamless coordination between AutoStore and the robotic system. - Optimal Grasp & Placement Location Identified
Perception module identifies optimal grasp point of the item in the inventory bin and the optimal placement position in the outbound tote or container. - Item Is Picked and Placed
The robotic arm picks the item from the inventory bin and places it in an outbound container.

Proven Integration with Kardex FulfillX
Do I need a 3rd-party software to integrate CarouselAI with AutoStore?
Not with Kardex. Our in-house software, FulfillX, seamlessly integrates AutoStore with robotic picking—eliminating the need for additional third-party software. Purpose-built for AutoStore, Kardex FulfillX is a proven solution that ensures smooth, efficient, and intelligent automation.
How FulfillX powers CarouselAI:
- Location – It determines exactly which bin compartment contains the required item, ensuring the robotic arm picks from the correct position.
- Order – It sequences the picks efficiently, minimizing movement and maximizing throughput.
- Quantity – It dictates the precise number of units to be picked from each bin, ensuring order accuracy and reducing errors.
- Flexibility - adds flexibility to the WMS to drive product sequencing within a container. For example, it ensures heavier products are placed at the bottom to prevent damage to lighter items on top, enhancing both order integrity and packing efficiency.
