Move beyond inflexible order fulfillment in 2024

Posted by Geekplus on Feb 1, 2024 11:08:49 AM

In today’s volatile market, supply chain disruption is the new normal; economic challenges and labor issues crop up frequently. 3PLs, retailers and other warehouse operators are dealing with numerous concurrent pain points:

✅Labor scarcity and rising costs

✅Low employee morale

✅Compressed fulfillment timelines

✅Increased returns and rising SKU counts

✅Emissions-reduction demands

With these pressures, there’s no time to waste on fixed order fulfillment and picking automation which can be terribly inefficient, inflexible and doesn't allow businesses to easily scale up operations. Companies turn to mobile robot order fulfillment solutions for flexibility, reliability and scalability. Costly fixed warehouse automation and other non-modular AMR solutions only constrain order fulfillment operations during a time of uncertainty and quickly shifting consumer demands.

Geekplus enables order fulfillment optimization through three main solution types, providing a mobile order fulfillment robot to fit every need. Customers can even combine robots in the same facility, a modular innovation in a market of fixed solutions.

Comprehensive Goods-to-Person order fulfillment

Experience the industry’s only complete range of Goods-to-Person solutions fueled by a powerful, proprietary software platform that easily integrates to existing warehouse technology.

Shelf-to-Person

The Geekplus Shelf-to-Person solution removes the need for infrastructure investment. It’s the most mobile Goods-to-Person solution on the market and it handles goods of all sizes. Customers choose this solution for its high flexibility, easy deployment and high throughput for rapid picking efficiency improvement. It’s simple to use, quick to deploy and easy to relocate as the business grows.

Tote-to-Person

In the Tote-to-Person solution, two robots work together – a tote storage robot that spans up to 11 meters high coordinates with a quick picking robot on the ground level. It’s a perfect solution for companies with small and medium-sized goods looking to pack more product onto tall shelves.

This ultra-flexible large and small cart solution maximizes warehouse storage potential without sacrificing speed.

Pallet-to-Person

Need to store pallets high up in the warehouse? That’s where the Pallet-to-Person system comes in with vertical pallet storage and fast ground-level picking. These bulk storage capabilities make the solution ideal for 3PLs housing both B2B and B2C operations in the same warehouse. Pallet-to-Person provides customers with greater flexibility than fixed automation solutions.

Geekplus solutions include the proprietary Warehouse Execution System, which controls the fulfillment of orders, the movement of loads in automation and intelligent routing and product sorting.  Geekplus' Robot Management System is an advanced robot scheduling and fleet management solution handling route management, task assignment, capacity optimization, safety emergency stops and a host of additional tasks.
