Tianjin, China: Geek+ and Engero have used a fleet of Geek+’s moving robots to create an unmanned coldstore warehouse in the port of Tianjin, one of China’s largest.
The automation has increased storage by 35%, and handling accuracy by 99%. Tianjin is a hub for China’s massive import and export businesses.
The new coldstore provides warehousing and other services in an area of over 30,000 square meters. Extreme conditions in coldstores do not suit manual operations that quickly become inefficient and even dangerous. Automation means systems can continuously operate stably at low temperatures. Geek+’s artificial intelligence is integrated into the warehouse control system and oversees the operations of the fleet.
The warehouse operates under the “cloud warehouse” management mode and all process data can be traced. This enables centralised inventory management, online billing, and real-time information flows, which greatly improve efficiency and makes it easy to keep tabs on the whole process, Geek says.
