The Challenge 

With a variety of different SKUs, S&S Activewear needed an automation system that could seamlessly adapt and expand as their business grew.

Our Solution

Geekplus collaborated closely with Körber Supply Chain to optimize warehouse processes at S&S Activewear’s 750,000 sq. ft. facility in Lockport, Illinois. The implementation of Geekplus PopPick robotic solutions enabled S&S Activewear to achieve greater operational speed and throughput. Following the initial deployment, S&S Activewear expanded its partnership with Körber and Geekplus, rolling out Geekplus robotic solutions to three additional warehouse locations across the Americas.

The Geekplus impact

• Improved picking efficiency, accuracy and throughput

• S&S Activewear managed up to 16,000 orders daily during peak times 
• Easily scaled to meet the needs of S&S Activewear's growing business
