In a world first for a Goods to Person (GTP) implementation for the company, the introduction of robots has already achieved a 400% increase in the speed of operations within the 250,000 square metre facility.In order to provide a better service for one of its largest e-commerce clients in Australia, CEVA has invested in a goods-to-person AMR solution to improve throughput and picking rates. Using Geek+ robots from one of the world's leading providers of advanced robotics and AI technologies applied to logistics, CEVA has found a standard solution which could be scalable across CEVA operations globally to be used for other customers around the world.
In this situation, the AMR robot brings the shelf to the picker. The project took only three weeks to go live, including the installation of eight robots working across a trial warehouse space. Each robot can pick shelves up to 500 kilogrammes and is controlled by a centralised system. All staff pickers underwent a two week training induction during the implementation phase.
