Smart sorting robots
11 October 2021
GEEK+ ROBOTICS has deployed smart sorting robots in the warehouse of Athinaiki S.A., a logistics and transport service provider specialising in last-mile delivery in Greece.
The solution was implemented in partnership with integrator FDL Group.
Set in a 562 sq m warehouse, 29 sorting robots currently support warehouse employees by handling sorting of 1,400-1,500 parcels/hour. Today, employees will put ordered goods onto sorting robots that will automatically transfer them to one of the 104 sorting cages bound for different destinations following a simple chutes layout made up of QR codes. With no need for wires or fixed infrastructure, companies can flexibly scale operations should there be a sudden change in throughput demand by simply adjusting the number of robots and sorting destinations.
The solution can be immediately set up into existing facilities, saving considerable infrastructure costs, leading to fast ROI. Controlled by RMS (robot management system) and powered by algorithms, the solution monitors robot traffic and balances the task of each robot to achieve maximum sorting efficiency, allowing 3x more productivity and 99,99% sorting accuracy.
