Kardex Remstar

What Kardex Remstar does

Kardex Remstar is the automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) product brand of the Kardex Group, a Swiss-domiciled, publicly listed industrial automation company. The brand's portfolio spans four core hardware families — Vertical Lift Modules under the Kardex Shuttle label, Miniload systems including the Kardex Miniload-in-a-Box and container transporters, vertical and horizontal carousels branded Kardex Megamat, and fully integrated AutoStore robotic cubic-bin storage. These are wrapped in a proprietary software stack comprising the Kardex Power Pick System warehouse management software, Kardex Drive and Kardex JMIF integration interfaces, and the AutoStore-specific Kardex Fulfillx fulfillment and picking assistant software. A digital services layer (Kardex Connect for remote monitoring, Kardex Portal for customer self-service) sits on top of the installed base.

The business model combines one-time capital equipment sales (VLMs, carousels, miniload, AutoStore) with recurring revenue streams from software subscriptions, multi-year service contracts, spare parts, training, and modernization/relocation/optimization services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with direct sales offices and a network of local representatives across more than 30 countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America, supported by a content-marketing-led digital funnel and a virtual showroom. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is configured per installation based on capacity and complexity.

The company serves a horizontal spread of industrial customers including automotive parts storage (e.g., Hella), wholesale distribution (e.g., Wildkamp), fertilizer distribution (e.g., Vihamij), and pharmaceutical laboratory operations (e.g., Merck), with explicit applications across e-commerce/retail, hospitals/healthcare, 3PL, mechanical engineering, chemicals, electronics, food & beverage, energy/mining, and government/administration. Reference outcomes cited include up to 80% storage area reduction and 24-hour order delivery capability for adopters of the Miniload-in-a-Box solution.
