In Japan, Nike relies on smart warehouse robots from Geek+ so that products can be picked, packaged and delivered within the same day. Within the warehouse, the product-picking bots are used to carry packages directly to warehouse workers, which helps to increase efficiency and safety, reduce costs and simplify warehouse operations.
While there are some warehouses that are implementing different strategies in order to keep up with the demands of ecommerce, Geek+ sees a better alternative to manually operated warehouses.
Autonomous robots are becoming increasingly important across a wide range of industries for last-mile deliveries, checking store inventory and even preparing some products right before the eyes of consumers.
