Geek+ partners with BlueSkye Automation to bring customers complete smart warehouse solutions
Future projects include implementations for a large consumer goods producer and an integrated autonomous solution for a leading automotive manufacturer.
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.
After the installation and go-live of the automated systems, BlueSkye Automation continues to provide ongoing support and service through their certified team of experts.
"Working with BlueSkye Automation, we were able to greatly increase this customer's picking efficiency and storage density," said Randy Randolph, director of channel partner sales at Geekplus. "Partnering with BlueSkye is extremely important, as it allows us to collaborate and bring that kind of game-changing improvement to customers."
Armando Gonzalez, president of BlueSkye Automation, added: "Our integrated solutions are all about making work more efficient and increasing productivity; with Geekplus, we can help our food and beverage, automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and e-commerce customers leverage the benefits of autonomous mobile robots."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
