S&S Activewear expands Körber Supply Chain partnership, deploys Geekplus PopPick robotics solutions — Retail Technology Innovation Hub

The partnership commenced with the deployment of 340 Geekplus robots at a single 750,000 sq. ft. S&S site in Lockport, Illinois, marking the largest collaboration in Körber’s robotics portfolio.

“Warehouse solutions are a core area of Körber’s expertise, and we look forward to expanding our partnership with S&S,” says Sean Elliott, CTO and Acting CEO Software, Körber Business Area Supply Chain.

“Our robotics offerings are designed to scale with the speed and size of business, optimising warehouse operations so organisations can focus on value driven activities to support the larger overall goals.”

A key aspect of this expansion is the implementation of Geekplus’s PopPick robotics solutions aimed at optimising warehouse processes.

These robots play a crucial role in efficiently moving inventory stored in totes to pick stations. The system incorporates autonomous mobility and slotting of inventory.

“Our longstanding partnership with Körber has been crucial in bringing our revolutionary solutions to a wider audience,” says Randy Randolph, Director of Channel Partner Sales at Geekplus.

“This deployment with S&S highlights the huge impact of our mobile robots in helping retailers meet the crush of e-commerce orders while improving quality and efficiency.”
