ATLANTA, May 22, 2024
/CNW/ -- Geekplus, the global leader in mobile robot and smart
logistics solutions, has picked 5 million totes globally throughout
170 deployments of its two tote-based solutions: RoboShuttle
Tote-to-Person and Shelf-to-Person PopPick.
These tote-based order fulfillment solutions make up part of the
company's comprehensive Goods-to-Person offerings. To date, the
company has sold more than 40,000 robots worldwide and is the only
mobile robotics provider offering a modular suite of
goods-to-person robots that can be combined according to customer
requirements.
"The growth we've seen in our tote solutions shows that
companies need automation to appropriately handle today's order
fulfillment realities," said Lit Fung, head of international
business at Geekplus. "3PLs and retailers turn to Tote-to-Person to
maximize vertical warehouse storage, while PopPick provides them
with a fully automated picking solution."
In the Tote-to-Person solution, two robots work together: one
robot that operates in the aisles, reaching up to store totes 40
feet in the air, and a small robot that quickly delivers totes to
picking stations. Tote-to-Person combines high-density storage for
small- and medium-sized goods with order fulfillment efficiency.
PopPick is an upgrade of the flagship Geekplus Shelf-to-Person
solution with totes stored on movable racks and picked from an
automated tote picking station. Offering heightened throughput, the
solution is particularly suited to e-commerce scenarios.
In the United States, PopPick
customers include Soccer.com, UPS and Orgill. North America is also home to the largest
Geekplus Tote-to-Person deployment, where a 3PL that provides
solutions for cross-border e-commerce solution to their
distribution facility in the Midwest after first implementing a
Geekplus Shelf-to-Person system.

Italian Tote-to-Person solution for a pharmaceutical and cosmetics
e-commerce fulfillment warehouse. The retailer sells around 2
million items per day through 3,000 pharmacies and an online
platform. Elsewhere in Europe,
