StrongPoint Announces Second Pio – Created by AutoStore Installation for UK-Based Ecommerce Company 

Published: 26. February 2026

(Oslo, 22 February 2026) StrongPoint, a leading retail technology company, has signed an agreement to supply and install its second Pio automated storage and retrieval solution for a UK‑based e‑commerce retailer.

AutoStore’s Pio system is designed for smaller warehouse environments and operations where a full scale AutoStore installation is not required. The Pio range includes multiple configurations to suit different space and throughput needs. The customer has selected the Pio200 configuration, which fits the available warehouse footprint and supports current order handling requirements. Installation is planned for summer 2026.

The automation solution designed by StrongPoint will help the customer increase picking speed and accuracy, improve the use of existing space, and establish a more scalable, data driven fulfilment operation. It is also expected to strengthen inventory visibility, standardise core warehouse processes, and enable significantly denser storage within the current facility.

“This agreement underpins the trust customers place in StrongPoint to design and deliver automation that genuinely improves operational performance. Our approach is not about selling technology in isolation. It is about understanding the customer’s fulfilment model and deploying the right automation architecture to create long-term value.” said James Palmer, VP Automation and Robotics at StrongPoint.
