Geek+ P-series robots deal with storage shelving then queue and current gadgets for choosing to people. | Credit score: Geek+
Geek+ lately introduced its mixed worldwide fleet of P-series goods-to-person (GTP) workflow robots picked ten billion gadgets over the previous yr. The GTP choosing options deployed all over the world coated over 175 million km through the interval, based on the corporate, which is additional than the space from the Earth to the solar.
Yong Zheng, Founder and CEO of Geek+, mentioned: “We’re very happy with what we’ve got achieved lately. The quantity of merchandise that our robots have dealt with, coupled with the financial savings in time and power, reveal that cell robots are a expertise for right now’s issues and a brighter future.”
Every day, the variety of gadgets managed by Geek+ GTP robots and warehouse administration techniques reached as a lot as 750 million, based on the corporate.
This can be a vital milestone for a fleet of robots. In researching this declare, we reached out to the corporate to inquire in regards to the deployed variety of GTP robots used to achieve this milestone.
Within the U.S., Geek+ mentioned it has deployed greater than 4,000 robots in 24 areas since 2019. Worldwide, the corporate mentioned it has deployed a further 26,000 robots for a complete worldwide fleet of 30,000 robots. We used that closing determine within the calculation of this milestone.
With all the information in hand, every robotic wanted to select a median of 1.5 gadgets per minute and drive at a median velocity of 440 mm/sec (properly throughout the technical and working specs of the robots).
The desk beneath comprises output from the spreadsheet that we generated to validate these claims. An organization consultant acknowledged that the method for calculating the gadgets picked quantity was calculated utilizing the common duties picked per hour * common items per activity * 10 working hours per day * working robotic * working interval.
