Element Logic will install an AutoStore system to act as a 'mock warehouse' within Purdue's Campus — home to a cutting-edge Smart Factory. This is an important piece of Purdue University's commitment to driving innovation in automation and shaping the future of engineering education
'This collaboration with Element Logic will allow our students to interact directly with cutting-edge automation, gaining the skills and insights that will set them apart from day one in the workforce,' Daniel Castro, Dean of the Purdue Polytechnic, said.
The Smart Learning Factory is designed to provide hands-on experience and immersive learning to prepare the next generation of engineers for a highly competitive and technically demanding marketplace. Acting as a microcosm of modern industry, the facility integrates advanced technologies such as IoT-connected devices, AI-driven optimization, and cybersecurity tools—mirroring the digital and physical systems students will encounter in real-world smart manufacturing environments.
'At Purdue Polytechnic, we are committed to giving students access to the most advanced technologies shaping today's industries,' Castro added. 'The integration of AutoStore into our Smart Factory reflects our hands-on, real-world approach to education.'
The Smart Factory at Purdue brings together a fully integrated, flexible manufacturing environment—featuring several production machines, assembly lines, and now a highly efficient AutoStore system that will serve as the factory's dedicated warehouse solution.
'Integrating a top-tier, industrial-grade AS/RS in a compact educational facility is a challenging goal,' said Steve Musick, Smart Manufacturing Engineer for the Smart Learning Factory. 'AutoStore's leading-edge technology and proven scalability made it an ideal choice for our performance, space, and instructional requirements. Robert and the Element Logic team engaged with us immediately and were equally excited to turn this goal into a reality. Their global expertise in logistics and AutoStore integration makes them an invaluable partner for this deployment and for future endeavors.'
'Purdue's Smart Factory is already recognized as the nation's largest, most comprehensive smart-manufacturing learning ecosystem, and we're proud that a fully functioning AutoStore grid will now serve as its warehouse 'heart',' Robert Humphry, Executive Vice President at Element Logic, said. 'By giving students live access to the same cube-storage automation trusted by leading global retailers, we're turning classroom concepts into hands-on data, KPIs, and real-time problem solving.'
With access to the densest ASRS technology, Purdue University's students, faculty, and guests will be able to test and understand —first-hand — real-time capabilities of automation.
'Seeing our AutoStore system serve as the core warehouse solution within Purdue's Smart Factory is a great example of how automation can bring theory into practice.' Parth Joshi, CPO at AutoStore, said. 'Through Element Logic's integration, students now have real-time access to cutting-edge robotics and software that orchestrate order fulfillment with speed and precision.
'It's vital that tomorrow's engineers are exposed to world-class technologies like AutoStore early in their careers — this not only strengthens their practical skills,but also inspires them to explore how intelligent automation and data-driven systems can transform the way we design and operate future technologies,' Joshi added. 'This installation not only supports Purdue's forward-thinking approach to education but also reflects our commitment to empowering the next generation to move things forward.'
This hands-on access allows students to experience how cutting-edge automation technologies integrate into modern manufacturing environments—offering insights into efficiency, scalability, and sustainable operations.
'This system and the Smart Lab enable future engineers to experiment and develop skills they'll use on day one in the industry,' Humphry added. 'Element Logic couldn't ask for a better partner than Purdue University in preparing future generations to reimagine how goods move through tomorrow's supply chains.'
The AutoStore solution from Element Logic will operate as a fully functional component of the Smart Factory's logistics and materials management workflow.

Pike 7-foot rising junior lands fresh batch of offers, has 'good relationship' with Purdue
FISHERS – The name of the event is the Indiana All-Stars Futures Game, so it makes sense high school basketball players with bright futures participated in the third annual event Monday night at Fishers High School. But one player, based on his potential as a college (and possibly NBA) prospect, stood out in particular: Pike's Isaiah Hill, who is listed at 6-10 on the roster but says — and looks like — he is all of 7-foot. Hill finished with 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting with six rebounds and two blocked shots in 25 minutes as his North team defeated the South 123-113. 'It was a good, competitive game,' Hill said. 'I had to do my thing to help my teammates get the win.' Pike doubled its win total last season to 12-10 in Jeff Teague's second year as coach. The Red Devils should be poised to make another jump this season with Hill (10.3 ppg, 7.3 rebounds, 3.6 blocked shots), and junior guard Jahari Miller (15.6 ppg, 4.1 rebounds) leading the returners. 'I feel like we have a good team,' said Hill, who is ranked as the No. 74 player in the country by 247Sports for the 2027 class. 'I feel like we have a team that can go to state and win it. I feel like I could have done a little better my sophomore year but I'm putting the work in.' On the recruiting trail this spring, Hill has made an impression on college coaches with his Indy Heat team. He is leading the EYBL Nike circuit in blocked shots for a team that is 8-0. In May, he picked up offers from Georgetown, TCU and Syracuse. Oklahoma is also among the schools showing serious interest. It is easy to see what they like: a rim protector who can run the floor and finish. The school that has been on him the most consistently — and offered him first, last August — is Purdue. Assistant coach P.J. Thompson has played a lead role in building that bond. 'It's a good relationship,' Hill said. 'They like me very much, like how I play and how I'm respectful. They just like what I do. My favorite player on their team is Trey (Kaufman-Renn). He's a good big man. Strong. He does a lot of good things for them.' Hill has visited Purdue several times, including just last month. He will be on campus again at the Purdue team camp in June, along with team camps at Indiana and Xavier. ∎ I wrote fairly extensively about Blackford rising sophomore Amarian Leggett, a 6-4 point guard who was named MVP with 24 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two assists. It was eye-opening to see how well he played (10-for-13 from floor, including 4-for-6 from 3-point line), especially against such quality competition. Will be fun to see how he progresses. ∎ I know Cooper Zachary does not like to lose. The Fishers' rising junior guard played well, finishing with 15 points, eight assists and four rebounds on 5-for-10 shooting from 3. Though he was on the receiving end of a 123-113 loss, he was his normal efficient self (no turnovers). ∎ Fort Wayne Snider's Trell Hogue really got cooking in the second half, scoring 12 of his 14 points for the North. The 6-1 Hogue played hard, finished with four assists and really attacked in transition. ∎ Mack Welker of Homestead, a 6-6 junior-to-be, finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds for the North in the win. Welker is coming off a strong sophomore season that saw him average 16.4 points for a Homestead team that went 22-6 and won the regional. ∎ Like Hogue, Merrillville's Charles Hardiman got comfortable and heated up in the second half, scoring 15 of his 18 points for the North. Hardiman was 4-for-5 from the 3-point line. He led Merrillville in scoring as a freshman, averaging 15.5 points. ∎ McCutcheon guard Brody Baker was efficient in his 15 minutes for the North, finishing with 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting (2-for-4 from 3) with four rebounds and one assist. ∎ After a quiet first half, Guerin Catholic rising junior Jake Grissom scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half to lead the South. He was 6-for-11 from the field after halftime and finished 3-for-6 from 3. ∎ Plainfield's Harper Baker-Lands, a 6-2 rising junior guard, went for 16 points, four assists and three steals for the South. Baker-Lands looks stronger and played like it. ∎ J.J. Craig, a rising junior who has transferred from Warren Central to Lawrence Central, did not shoot it great (7-for-18 and 1-for-8 from 3), but was productive with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. ∎ Silver Creek guard Brandon Hunter is a true point guard with terrific vision. The 6-1 Hunter nearly had a triple-double in his 27 minutes, finishing with eight points, nine assists and nine rebounds. ∎ Jamar Thomas, a key contributor to Lawrence North's semistate team last season, has enrolled at Mt. Vernon. Thomas, who will be a senior, averaged 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior. Under the new IHSAA transfer rule that went into effect Sunday, Thomas will likely have to sit out the first 30 days of the season. ∎ In addition to Craig, Lawrence Central has added a pair of transfers from North Central: senior-to-be Gavin Petty and junior-to-be Jeremiah Bellamy. Petty averaged 10.3 points and 2.7 rebounds as a junior and Bellamy averaged 7.7 points and 4.8 rebounds as a sophomore.

Purdue football recruiting: 3-star Georgia safety commits to 2026 class
Purdue football turned over almost its entire secondary through the transfer portal since the end of last season. The Boilermakers added a piece of potential stability for the future Tuesday. Dana Greenhow, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound safety from Sandy Hook High School in Tyrone, Georgia, became the second defensive commit in the 2026 class. Greenhow is a three-star prospect ranked No. 1,232 overall in the On3 industry rankings. His long list of power conference offers included Indiana, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina State and West Virginia. Greenhow made an official visit to Purdue on May 30. He was scheduled to take visits to IU, Liberty and NC State this month. Our book on Purdue basketball's Final Four run is the perfect Father's Day gift Grand Rapids Central Catholic (Michigan) linebacker Brayden Sweeney is the only other known defensive player among nine 2026 commits. That class currently ranks No. 49 and 16th among Big Ten teams per On3.
