Cleaning Your AutoStore Grid

Debris & Dust Collected

Even in the cleanest, best-maintained warehouse environments, dust and debris are inevitable. The image shows the interior of the Kardex SnapVac collection bin that was used during a grid cleaning. With no special preparation, the vacuum collected visible debris from the AutoStore grid—proof that particles accumulate quickly and silently, even with routine care. Over time, this buildup can impact robot performance and contaminate bins. That’s why regular, intentional cleaning is essential—and our solution makes it simple to stay ahead of the mess.
