Pio Blog Which Pio Is Right for You? A Guide to the Product Lineup

This guide will help you understand the Pio lineup and how to choose the model that best fits your space, volume, and growth goals.

What All Pio Systems Have in Common


Before we dive into the differences, here’s what stays the same across the board:

  • Compact, cube-based design that maximizes storage capacity—even in tight warehouse spaces
  • Flexible monthly pricing with no massive upfront investment
  • Quick install and seamless integration with your existing workflows
  • One intuitive app for picking, packing, and managing inventory
  • Robots as a Service—meaning hardware, support, and software updates are all included
  • Supported by AutoStore, the leader in cube storage automation

No matter which size you choose, you're getting enterprise-grade tech that's easy to use—and designed to grow with you.

Space-saving robot solutions

P100: For businesses just starting out

Ideal for operations shipping fewer than 10,000 orders per month.

  • Bin capacity: ~600–1,270 bins (depending on ceiling height)
  • Footprint: ~44 m²
  • Performance: Up to 180 order lines/hour
  • Perfect for: Small teams, curated boxes, and single-channel fulfillment

Think of P200 as your “growing pains” solution—it gives you more room without forcing a total redesign of your workflow.

 

P400: For high-volume fulfillment centers

Built for businesses with growing SKUs, multiple stations, or peak season surges.

  • Bin capacity: ~3,190–6,480 bins
  • Footprint: ~167 m²
  • Performance: Up to 180 order lines/hour
  • Perfect for: Brands experiencing rapid growth or preparing for serious volume

If you’re shipping thousands of SKUs and struggling to keep your team efficient during launches or holiday season, P400 is the upgrade that pays for itself.

 

P600: For larger warehouses with high capacity needs

Our largest standard system, for operations that need serious scale and control.

  • Bin capacity: ~4,830–9,820 bins
  • Footprint: ~249 m²
  • Performance: Up to 180 order lines/hour
  • Perfect for: Multi-shift ops, B2B+B2C hybrid fulfillment, and complex logistics

One Pio customer was able to consolidate a 3,000-square-foot space into a single 500-square-foot P600 setup—while 5–6x-ing their order output.
