Robots at Geek+’s network of smart warehouses in China have processed a record-breaking 8 million orders in less than 72 hours during this year’s 11/11 Singles Day shopping festival.
More than 4,000 robots clocked up 1,500,000km (932,000 miles) to successfully complete and ship a total of 8.11 million orders, up 62% on 2018, with a 48-hour delivery rate of 86% – nearly double that of manual 3PL warehouses.
Key to the achievement was the Geek+ cloud brain proprietary software system. The peak capacity of the entire system for order taking, processing, single-point feedback, pre-processing and interface feedback processing reached 200,000 single orders/per minute.
With its Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model, Geek+ operates more than 300,000m2 (3,230,000ft2) of warehouses with a shared network of thousands of robots for more than 100 brands in China.
Yong Zheng, founder and CEO of Geek+, said: “We are extremely proud that our solution can help hundreds of brands successfully navigate peak order seasons. With RaaS, we make smart warehousing accessible to businesses of all sizes.”
