Best Use of Robotics Award at Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA

Geekplus, a global leader in mobile robotics and smart logistics solutions, has been honored with the prestigious Best Use of Robotics Award from the Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA. This award marks the first time the 28-year-old international association has held its awards ceremony in the United States. Notably, Geekplus has been a consistent winner at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards in Europe, securing recognition for five consecutive years.

Collaborative Success with BlueSkye Automation

Geekplus America, in partnership with systems integrator BlueSkye Automation, was nominated for two awards this year. Together, they secured the Best Use of Robotics Award for their innovative project with Ship8 inc, a Georgia-based 3PL. The award celebrates companies that deploy robotics to transform logistics and supply chain operations.

The team was also nominated for the Supply Chain Product Award, which recognizes breakthrough solutions with a significant impact on supply chain processes. Geekplus and BlueSkye Automation collaborated to implement a fully automated smart warehouse solution for Ship8, addressing the challenges of rising e-commerce demands and labor shortages.

An Innovative Automated Solution for Ship8

The winning project featured a deployment of Geekplus' cutting-edge robotic technologies, including the Shelf-to-Person, Sorting, and SkyCube Pallet solutions. Additionally, conveyors, print & apply systems, and robotic arms were integrated to create a fully automated warehouse capable of handling diverse order types, from B2B and B2C orders to each-picks and case-picks.

BlueSkye Automation continues to support the automated systems through its team of certified experts, ensuring seamless ongoing operations.
