Toyota Advanced Logistics

What Toyota Advanced Logistics does

Toyota Automated Logistics (TAL), a unified brand of Toyota Industries Corporation effective April 1, 2026, combines three previously independent warehouse automation businesses—Bastian Solutions, Vanderlande's warehousing business, and viastore—into a single integrated systems integrator headquartered in Indianapolis, United States. The company delivers a comprehensive warehouse automation portfolio spanning nine technology categories: AGVs and AMRs (autonomous guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots) for in-facility transport; automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS); case and piece picking systems; conveyor systems; goods-to-person systems; palletizing and depalletizing robotics; general robotics; warehouse execution and control system software (WES/WCS); and sortation systems. Lifecycle services include systems integration, lifecycle planning, preventive maintenance, operator training, and 24/7 support with parts availability.

The business model is built on enterprise field sales targeting large-scale, custom warehouse automation projects, with quote-based, multi-year contracts tailored to each customer's facility and vertical requirements. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time capital equipment sales and installations, professional services for design and integration, and managed services for ongoing lifecycle support. The company sells directly to enterprise customers across seven primary verticals—fashion and apparel, food and beverage, general merchandise, grocery and food retail, durable goods manufacturing, third-party logistics (3PL), and parts and components—with no disclosed standardized pricing tiers. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Industries Corporation (TYT), the entity benefits from global distribution reach and corporate backing, while operating with 501–1,000 employees under the TAL brand.
