Geekplus launches ‘world’s most powerful robot management system’ in time for peak season holiday rush

Geekplus, the world’s largest warehouse robotics provider, has unveiled a “significant upgrade” to its Robot Management System (RMS) – just in time for the peak holiday season. The company says it is “the world’s most powerful robot management system”.

The enhanced RMS is capable of coordinating over 5,000 robots and processing 10,000 tasks per second, setting a new benchmark for high-volume logistics operations during the busiest time of the year.

As e-commerce orders surge during the holiday season, warehouses face the challenge of managing massive throughput without compromising speed or accuracy.

Geekplus’s upgraded RMS aims to address this need by offering unparalleled scalability and efficiency, enabling businesses to handle increased demand seamlessly.

Kai Liu, head of system platform at Geekplus, says: “As the peak season approaches, warehouses face unprecedented challenges in managing order volumes.

“Our new RMS empowers businesses to scale their operations efficiently, ensuring timely deliveries and enhancing customer satisfaction during this critical period.”

The new RMS allows for:

• Massive Scalability: Managing over 5,000 robots within a single facility, enabling large-scale operations without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
• High-Speed Processing: Handling 10,000 tasks per second, significantly accelerating order fulfillment processes crucial for meeting tight holiday deadlines.

Geekplus has optimized the RMS’s computational efficiency, reducing CPU load by 35 percent and decreasing memory usage by 50 percent. Advanced Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) algorithms optimize robot paths to reduce congestion and increase throughput by over 15 percent.

Wenzhe Tan, head of system product at Geekplus, says: “With this RMS upgrade, we’re not just increasing capacity; we’re enabling smarter operations. This level of coordination ensures businesses can meet peak season demands while staying agile for the future.”

The enhanced RMS integrates with Geekplus’s core solutions – Shelf-to-Person, Tote-to-Person, and Pallet-to-Person – allowing clients to deploy multiple automation setups within a single warehouse.

This unified approach simplifies operations and optimizes efficiency, particularly during peak periods. Designed for high-throughput environments, the upgraded RMS enables warehouses to handle intensified demand without sacrificing performance:

• Shelf-to-Person Systems: Manages up to 5,000 P-series robots across facilities larger than 100,000 square meters, supporting over 200 workstations for enhanced productivity.
• Tote-to-Person Systems: Coordinates 600 RS-series robots and 2,000 P40 robots in 50,000-square-meter facilities, ensuring continuous tote supply and precise picking at 96 stations.

Geekplus is committed to advancing warehouse automation through continuous innovation in robotics and the enhanced RMS is a testament to the company’s dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions tailored to meet the demands of peak season and beyond.

Liu Kai says: “By enhancing our RMS, we’re helping businesses not only navigate the peak season but also prepare for future challenges in the logistics landscape. Our goal is to provide solutions that support our clients’ long-term success in an ever-evolving market.”
