DUSSELDORF, Germany,
April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Geekplus, the global leader in mobile robot and
smart logistics solutions, has deployed the first Shelf-to-Person
PopPick project in the Nordics for one of the biggest online
pharmacy wholesalers in the region, Med24.dk. System Teknik
partnered on the Denmark project,
which includes three PopPick stations and 30 Shelf-to-Person
robots, bringing a flexible solution to a region where fixed
automation still dominates.
"With the rise of e-commerce, Med24.dk had been struggling with
huge sales growth coupled with fast delivery demands from customers
in Denmark, Norway, Sweden searching for pharmacy, health and
beauty products. Peak season events had also caused considerable
strain to their operations," said Blond Shkodrani, channel partner
manager for the Nordics at Geekplus. "Due to their
overwhelming success, Med24.dk needed a modular, automated order
fulfillment solution for fast, efficient order fulfillment."
The Geekplus modular Shelf-to-Person solution optimizes
warehouse operations using mobile robots to transport shelves. In a
region where fixed and cubic solutions have been the trend during
recent years, Shelf-to-Person handles goods of all sizes while
removing the need for infrastructure investment, making it the most
flexible response to order fulfillment challenges.
PopPick workstations use two retrieval arms and four
presentation locations to present pickers with multiple, moveable
78-tote racks at one time, resulting in an industry-leading
throughput of 450 totes per hour. PopPick can store goods of all
types and sizes; the solution is not limited to small pieces and
improves ergonomics for workers while picking. It also takes up
less space than traditional systems, so customers can use more
stations without adding facility space.
"We are very pleased to invest in flooring robots from
Geekplus," said Med24.dk CEO Nils
Træholt. "We believe that this new and innovative technology
can help us realize our growth ambitions, while maintaining good
delivery times for the benefit of our customers."
Morten Kirch, System Teknik's
CSO, added: "Due to Med24.dk's growth, we are thrilled to be able
to deliver a tailor-made, automated solution that matches their
needs."
Geekplus offers a suite of Goods-to-Person mobile order
fulfillment solutions -- the only comprehensive robotic offering
controlled by a single software platform.
"Through trusted partners like System Teknik, we're showing
customers all over Europe that
Geekplus truly is a one-stop shop for modular warehouse
automation," Shkodrani said.
