Geek+, the global leader in autonomous mobile robots, announces it has delivered the largest AMR-powered warehouse in the Hong Kong e-commerce industry, for leading online retailer YesAsia. The project was delivered in 16 weeks with 145 robots operating in YesAsia’s brand-new smart fulfillment center.
With over 1 million active customers, YesAsia is a leading online retailer specialized in fashion and beauty and entertainment products such as music, videos, and books. YesAsia chose Geek+ to support rising demand and help tackle the challenge of fast and efficient fulfillment during the largest sales months of the year.
Lit Fung, VP and Managing Director of Geek+ said, “Despite the supply chain disruptions caused by the global pandemic, our team was able to deliver this milestone project in record time. With rising e-commerce demand, particularly for all types of lifestyle products, having a robust, affordable, and flexible logistics setup is paramount. This success underlines our dedication to empowering e-commerce champions in retaining and improving their competitive edge, with the help of AI technologies.”
Priscilla Chu, Founder & Chairperson of YesAsia, said, “As an e-commerce company that serves global customers, we experienced an exceptional spike in demand during the pandemic, which led us to invest in the AMRs offered by Geek+. We’ve since seen huge improvements in fulfillment accuracy and speed, with significant cost savings. It is impressive – the whole process was very smooth and took less than 16 weeks, from planning to deployment, to install over 100 AMRs in our warehouse.”
The smart logistics solution enables significant improvement in the accuracy and efficiency of the pick and pack process. The robots operate 24/7 to handle e-commerce orders from different time zones, allowing YesAsia to speed up delivery turnaround time and provide excellent service to its global customers. Return on automation investment is expected within 3 years.
