…Geek+'s AMRs at Life365's facility. Source: Geek+ The four-way shuttle and P-series picking robot-based solution is Geek+'s latest development with the TICA Systems warehouses represent the first large-scale implementation of this new technology. The company launched Sky-Storage & Ground-Pick last month for international markets. The traditional approach required employees to walk long distances between the warehouse and the production line and was prone to errors and accidents. Geek+ said its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), integrated with storage and picking operations, increased efficiency. Several Geek+ X1200 four-way shuttles are equipped with intelligent high-speed elevators for multi-level storage, which it said improves…

…That said, I’m reminded that I saw the first shuttle at a show some five to seven years ago. While shuttles are becoming more common, I still see more piece-picking mezzanines and put walls than shuttles. Two quotes about robotics from experienced materials handling pros stuck with me after the show. One old hand said, “No one wants to be first,” when I asked what did he see as the biggest impediment to the adoption of the robotic piece picking solution his company was demonstrating. Another recalled the frenzy over RFID and offered this piece of advice: “The biggest mistake…
