CEVA is&#160;a global third-party logistics (3PL)&#160;provider looking for new and innovative automation solutions to better serve its&#160;Australian e-commerce&#160;clients. Implemented by K&#246;rber Supply Chain, the project&#160;greatly&#160;improves&#160;efficiency and productivity&#160;in the warehouse, ensuring smoother order fulfillment&#160;for CEVA&#8217;s&#160;customers.&#160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lit Fung, Geek+&#8217;s Managing Director for APAC, UK, and Americas, said: &#034;Today, an accelerated demand for fast order fulfillment has created a challenging scenario for businesses everywhere. In <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span>, a booming e-commerce landscape has made &#8216;delivery services&#8217;&#160;the determining factor of who&#8217;s going to come out on top. Using smart robot automation, CEVA has turned a challenge into an opportunity that will allow them to set the standard and gain considerable advantages.&#034;<\/p>\n<p>With upwards of 500,000 square meters of warehouse space and 1,350 employees, the site in <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span> is one of the largest warehouses in the southern hemisphere.&#160;When a leading online shoe store experienced rapid growth,&#160;CEVA began looking at ways they&#160;could help the company meet consumers&#8217;&#160;demands for&#160;speed and cost of delivery. Previously, CEVA would have&#160;had&#160;to add&#160;more employees to an already labor-intensive process,&#160;with 12 to 15 employees using radiofrequency&#160;picking devices&#160;to complete one order.&#160;Today, Geek+ autonomous mobile robots intelligently and flexibly move mobile inventory racks and pallets to picking stations, saving employees time that would otherwise&#160;be spent walking around finding&#160;and picking&#160;inventory. The result is an overall&#160;improvement in employee comfort and logistical efficiency, as well as considerable savings.&#160;<\/p>\n<p>&#034;Thanks to&#160;Geek+&#8217;s AMR technology, we now have&#160;a very fast and efficient picking productivity and throughput solution,&#034;&#160;said&#160;Milton Pimenta, CEVA Logistics&#8217;s&#160;managing director for Australia&#160;and <span class=\"xn-location\">New Zealand<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Following the&#160;project&#8217;s&#160;seamless implementation, CEVA saw an immediate improvement in&#160;key performance indicators,&#160;most notably a&#160;fourfold increase in&#160;picking efficiency.&#160;CEVA plans to use the solution to support its wide customer base, securing its leadership position as a first-rate logistics provider. <\/p>\n<p>&#034;CEVA feel that a number of&#160;their&#160;<span id=\"spanHghlt6122\">clients could<\/span> benefit from AMR technology. As this was the first pilot project for the business,&#160;it was extremely important that we delivered on our predictions,&#034; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Ravi Nath<\/span>, K&#246;rber Supply Chain&#8217;s&#160;head of automated solutions for <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">New Zealand<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Geek+ will&#160;continue to&#160;work closely with K&#246;rber to help scale operations across regions and support CEVA with efficient, accurate, and flexible AMR solutions for&#160;the company&#8217;s wide network of global customers.<\/p>\n<p><b>About&#160;Geek+<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Geek+ is a global technology company leading the intelligent logistics revolution.
