Making unmanned fulfillment practical at scale

LEADING AUTONOMOUS mobile robotics provider Geekplus introduced RoboShuttle V5 at LogiMAT 2026, Europe’s largest intralogistics trade show, which took place at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre in Germany from March 24 to 26. The new system is a major upgrade to the company’s tote-to-person and embedded robot arm picking station solution for fully autonomous warehouse fulfillment.

Automating workstation picking

Most tote-to-person systems on the market today automate storage and retrieval but still depend on human pickers at the workstation. This creates a persistent bottleneck that limits 24/7 throughput.

By natively integrating its Robot Arm Picking Station (RAPS) into the platform, Geekplus bridges the gap where manual labor reaches its limit. This enables non-stop, unmanned operations around the clock. As labor availability becomes an increasing challenge across global supply chains, V5 delivers true full-field automation and total autonomous continuity.

Performance and deployment metrics

Building on the proven capabilities of the award-winning RoboShuttle V4 in high-density storage, flexibility, and efficiency, the V5 adds a fully decoupled architecture and plug-and-play deployment to make unmanned fulfillment practical at scale.

The solution has been validated by leading manufacturers across multiple sectors, consistently delivering faster deployment, higher accuracy, 2x efficiency gains, and broad SKU compatibility. It ensures full data security through an on-premises model and offers a return on investment (ROI) achievable within one to two years under a capex model.

Using a six-camera Multi-Eyes Vision array and zero-shot learning, RAPS identifies and picks items with no post-training required for most SKUs. This achieves 99.99% accuracy and a throughput of up to 700 units per hour (UPH). The plug-and-play design enables deployment in as little as 48 hours.

Workflow configurations

Multiple RAPS workflow models that include batch picking, order picking, consolidation, and batch-to-bulk-container, enable operators to tailor the system to specific fulfillment requirements across apparel, pharmaceuticals, electronics, retail, and 3PL sectors.

RS Air robots handle high-frequency SKUs via rail-mounted retrieval at speeds of up to 4 m/s, while rolling mobile RS robots manage long-tail inventory across shared aisles. P40 transport robots connect both systems to picking stations using curved-path navigation, reducing congestion and travel time. A single deployment can orchestrate more than 5,000 robots simultaneously.

Storage capacity and facility integration

The platform supports vertical storage up to 12 meters and accommodates tote sizes ranging from 350×270×120 mm to 850×650×500 mm, with zero spacing between front and rear totes for maximum density.

RoboShuttle V5 is designed to serve both greenfield and brownfield environments:

• Greenfield: For new-build sites, the platform deploys as a high-throughput batch picking solution, pairing RS Air robots with double-deep racking and RAPS to maximize density and speed from day one.
• Brownfield: For existing facilities, its modular architecture integrates seamlessly into established layouts, enabling operators to add RAPS configurations incrementally without redesigning their footprint.

During the event, attendees were able to experience live demonstrations of the automated picking workflow at the Geekplus booth.
