Geekplus, the global leader in mobile robot and smart logistics solutions, has partnered with BlueSkye Automation to deploy a fully automated smart warehouse solution powered by the Geekplus suite of Goods-to-Person mobile robots for a Georgia-based 3PL.
Future projects include implementations for a large consumer goods producer and an integrated autonomous solution for a leading automotive manufacturer.
The initial deployment helped a 3PL specializing in the ecommerce and wholesale fulfillment business meet ballooning e-commerce sales and navigate severe labor shortages. Together with BlueSkye, Geekplus updated the customer’s manual processes by deploying Shelf-to-Person, Sorting and four-way shuttle Pallet-to-Person solutions alongside conveyors, print & apply and robotic arms. By harnessing the power of four different types of robot technology, the fully automated warehouse can now handle a range of order fulfillment types from both B2B and B2C orders to each picks and case picks.
