OEG has a wide array of specialized products that require unique storage solutions. The company has designed shelves that match SKUs of all sizes to the greatest possible extent. The unique nature of these specialized storage units posed no obstactle for Geek+'s flexible autonomous mobile robots, with 15,000m² of the site now operated by the fleet of Geek+ AMRs.

Geek+'s engineers studied the operations within OEG's warehouse and devised an implementation program that caused a minimum of disruption to the site's processes and operations. Despite the introduction of revolutionary automation technology, virtually no changes in material flows was necessary. As a result, the solution was implemented in phases without disruption to OEG's business, and was fully operational in just three months.

Markus Schellinger, VP of Solutions at Geek+, said: "We were able to take our flagship goods-to-person system and easily adapt it to OEG's business in record time and with no business interruption. P800 robots are just about the most robust and standardized solution that can be found today, and we are proud to have been selected by OEG to modernize their operations."

Benjamin Löffeld, Project Manager at OEG, said: "In order to scale our business and manage rising operational costs, we turned to flexible automation with Geek+ instead of traditional methods. We are extremely pleased with how quickly they got the system up and running and how smoothly the AMRs were integrated into our warehouse."
