Geek+, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developer, and Italian third-party logistics provider Life365 have partnered to deploy moving robots at Life365’s Romagna hub.
Life365 said it has chosen Geek+’s automation to advance its business and take on larger competitors. “We are devoted to the best technology available and using it to the fullest,” explained Summer Su, project manager at Life365.
“Geek+’s moving robots represent the leading-edge in their field and allow us to continue to provide top-level service to our clients. We believe warehouse automation is the logical next step for Life365,” she added.
The solution Geek+ developed to handle operations in Life365’s warehouse revolves around a fleet of M200C moving robots that transfer office supplies, smartphones, and other high-tech products through the facility and on the way to customers around Italy.
Geek+ added the M-series robots serve largely the same purpose as old conveyor systems, but have made these obsolete thanks to the far superior flexibility that AMRs provide.
Xin Yang, sales manager Southern Europe at Geek+, added: “This set-up, involving so many of our moving robots, is the first of its kind in Italy and demonstrates the versatility of our AMRs.
“The rapid implementation and fast return on investment of our AMR solutions provide a useful leg up in booming industries like e-commerce, and we are delighted to help independent retailers like Life365.”
