Robots quickly deployed to complex warehouse

THE OEG warehouse stores over 80 000 different spare parts and accessories for HVAC systems and supplies wholesalers and manufacturers in Germany, as well as international markets. OEG has a wide array of specialised products that require unique storage solutions. 

The company has designed shelves that match SKUs of all sizes to the greatest possible extent. The unique nature of these specialised storage units posed no obstacle for Geek+’s flexible autonomous mobile robots, with 15,000 sq m of the site now operating with the fleet of Geek+ AMRs.

The solution Geek+ developed for OEG, which uses P800 picking robots and custom-made shelving, was implemented in three months without any interruption to OEG’s operations.

Geek+’s engineers studied the operations within OEG’s warehouse and devised an implementation program that caused a minimum of disruption to the site’s processes and operations. Despite the introduction of revolutionary automation technology, virtiually no changes in material flows was necessary.
OEG project manager Benjamin Löffeld, says: “In order to scale our business and manage rising operational costs, we turned to flexible automation with Geek+ instead of traditional methods. We are extremely pleased with how quickly they got the system up and running and how smoothly the AMRs were integrated into our warehouse.”
