Geek+ lately introduced its mixed worldwide fleet of P-series goods-to-person (GTP) workflow robots picked ten billion gadgets over the previous yr. The GTP selecting options deployed world wide coated over 175 million km through the interval, in line with the corporate, which is additional than the gap from the Earth to the solar.
Yong Zheng, Founder and CEO of Geek+, mentioned: “We are very proud of what we have achieved recently. The amount of merchandise that our robots have handled, coupled with the savings in time and energy, demonstrate that mobile robots are a technology for today’s problems and a brighter future.”
Each day, the variety of gadgets managed by Geek+ GTP robots and warehouse administration programs reached as a lot as 750 million, in line with the corporate.
This is a major milestone for a fleet of robots. In researching this declare, we reached out to the corporate to inquire concerning the deployed variety of GTP robots used to succeed in this milestone.
In the U.S., Geek+ mentioned it has deployed greater than 4,000 robots in 24 areas since 2019. Worldwide, the corporate mentioned it has deployed an extra 26,000 robots for a complete worldwide fleet of 30,000 robots. We used that remaining determine within the calculation of this milestone.
With all the information in hand, every robotic wanted to choose a median of 1.5 gadgets per minute and drive at a median pace of 440 mm/sec (nicely inside the technical and working specs of the robots).
The desk under comprises output from the spreadsheet that we generated to validate these claims. An organization consultant said that the formulation for calculating the gadgets picked quantity was calculated utilizing the common duties picked per hour * common items per activity * 10 working hours per day * working robotic * working interval.
Table 1 – Calculations for Geek+ robots (preliminary situations in daring)
| Items picked per yr*: |
10,000,000,000 |
| Working hours per day*: | 10 |
| Kilometers pushed*: | 175,000,000 |
| Robots*: | 30,000 |
| Units picked per robotic per day: | 913 |
| Units picked per robotic per hour: | 91 |
| Units picked per robotic per minute: | 1.52 |
| Meters pushed per robotic per yr: | 5,833,333 |
| Meters pushed per robotic per day: | 15,982 |
| Meters pushed per robotic per hour: | 1,598.20 |
| Average pace (m/s): | 0.44 |
