Industries moving forward with robotics automation.

In 2024, a leading electrical distributor partnered with Geekplus and SEC Group to revolutionize its operations. The result was a cutting-edge warehouse designed to optimize space, enhance productivity, and prepare for future growth—all while streamlining processes and improving service across the UK.

Combining Robotics and Machine Learning Platform for Maximum Impact

The distributor consolidated several subsidiaries into a single warehouse with 10,000–12,000 SKUs, requiring a solution that could balance efficiency with scalability. By leveraging Geekplus robotics and SEC Group’s DIDO platform, the project delivered remarkable results.

DIDO’s Contribution:

SEC Group’s DIDO platform analyzed the distributor’s unique needs to design the ideal warehouse solution. It employed:

• ELSA: To determine the best combination of equipment and technology for efficient storage.
• CLARA: To simulate and optimize thousands of warehouse layouts for maximum space utilization.
• ELISA: To validate the design through a digital twin, ensuring it meets the client’s goals and projected ROI.

DIDO identified two potential solutions: a traditional pick tower and the Geekplus RoboShuttle System. The latter was chosen for its superior efficiency, scalability, and long-term benefits.

Why Geekplus?

The Geekplus Robotic Shuttle System brought transformative advantages:

• Enhanced Space Utilization: Increased warehouse cube use from 25% (traditional shelving) to 40%, doubling storage capacity within the same footprint.
• Improved Efficiency: Reduced the picking workforce from 16 operators to just 1–2, increasing productivity by eight times.
• Scalability: Designed to grow with the business, the system supports vertical expansion from four to 11 meters, allowing significant increases in capacity without additional space.
• Seamless Integration and Growth: The robotic system’s flexibility also made it easy to integrate new acquisitions with minimal disruption. Expansion plans are already in motion, with storage capacity set to double in just eight overnight shifts—highlighting the system’s ability to adapt to evolving needs.

A Partnership for the Future

This collaboration between Geekplus and SEC Group demonstrates the power of combining innovative robotics with intelligent AI. Together, they created a solution that not only meets today’s demands but also positions the distributor for long-term success.
