Geek+, a developer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for logistics, entered into a strategic partnership with Conveyco Technologies, an order fulfillment and distribution center systems integrators in North America. Under the agreement, Conveyco will now offer Geek+ robotics solutions for its customers in various industries.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Conveyco to accelerate access to AMRs in North America,” said Rick DeFiesta, Partnership and Business Development Director at Geek+. “The demonstrated efficiency, scalability and cost-saving of Geek+ solutions will bring significant value and enable flexible logistics for customers across industries, at a time where logistics bottlenecks are increasing.”

According to Interact Analysis, Geek+ is the No. 1 supplier of AMRs in the world with 10% market share.

“The breadth of field-proven AMR technologies that Geek+ provides allows Conveyco to truly focus on our clients use and business case to provide them a scalable and cost-effective solution,” said Ed Romaine, Conveyco VP Marketing & Business Development. “Being able to implement Conveyco’s RightFIT methodology using Geek+ technologies will provide efficiencies and competitive advantages to our clients that will change their market dynamics.”

Geek+ offers a variety of logistics robots, including the new C200M AMR designed to operate in narrow aisles, reach high shelves, and increase warehouse storage capacity. According to the company, the C200M can operate in aisles that are 3 feet wide. It can use a 3.2-foot-long telescopic fork to reach two rows of containers from one side of a shelf. The robot can also store cargo in a range from 0.215 m (8.4 in.) up to 5 m (16.4 ft.). Its door frame is modular and can be customized according to customer needs. In addition, the modular design allows for on-site assembly, making transportation and loading easier.

Founded in 2015, Beijin-based Geek+ said it has completed more than 200 projects and deployed more than 10,000 robots across four continents. It raised $150 million in Series C1 funding in July 2019 and opened a San Diego office in February 2020.
