Geek+ and OSARO Bring the Future of Industrial Automation to DHL�s Asia Pacific Innovation Center

• The �Warehouse of the Future” exhibit will demonstrate robots working together in a complete e-commerce automation solution

HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI–Geek+, a global AMR leader, is proud to announce that the future of automation is coming to DHL’s Asia Pacific Innovation Center in Singapore. This year, Geek+ will showcase integrated robotics solutions for full-scale automation using RoboShuttle® RS2 single tote-picking robot and collaborative robot arm technology, strengthening its role as an educator and innovator at the forefront of robotics R&D.

The project is a collaboration between Geek+ and OSARO, an AI pioneer in industrial automation, and DHL’s Asia Pacific Innovation Center in Singapore. The collaborative robot arm, Motoman HC10DT, is provided by the robot manufacturer Yaskawa.

Lit Fung, Vice President of APAC, the UK and the Americas at Geek+, says: “Together with OSARO and DHL, we look forward to educating supply chain leaders on the wide range of opportunities that come from combining robotics and AI. By merging our solutions, we’ve achieved a new milestone, from Goods-to-Person to Goods-to-Robot, delivering flexible, safe, and efficient logistics operations.”

At the DHL Asia Pacific Innovation Center, customers of DHL and leaders in technology and supply chain will be able to experience the latest innovations and solutions in logistics. The “Warehouse of the Future” exhibit shows how a Geek+ RoboShuttle®, a tote-picking robot built on AMR technology, integrates with the Yaskawa cobot arm controlled by OSARO’s vision system to provide fully automated logistics processes.

The solution can support both outbound and inbound logistics operations. For order fulfillment, the RoboShuttle® autonomously moves to the shelf of the tote containing the ordered item, picks the tote, and carries it to a picking station using its fork arms. Once at the picking station, OSARO’s cobot arm picks items from the tote, packs the order, and prepares it for outbound delivery. The operational performance is displayed on dashboards throughout the entire procedure.

RoboShuttle® can find and transfer the bins of the ordered items autonomously, reducing manual walking time by 75%. The cobot arm is equipped with OSARO’s exceptional vision system. It allows the cobot to recognize jumbled items regardless of material of alignment.

Derik Pridmore, CEO of OSARO, says: “We’re excited to showcase the future of logistics robotics – robots working together, with each optimized as part of a complete automation solution. The combination of Geek+ RoboShuttle® and our exceptional OSARO pick-and-place capabilities not only reduces labor-intensive operations but also provides a flexible, scalable solution without fixed infrastructure.”

YingChuan Huang, Innovation Manager, Asia Pacific Innovation Center at DHL —- “Customer-centric innovation has a very important place in DHL and we drive this through close partnerships with leading companies in technology, startups, industry thinkers, and of course our customers. The Geek+ exhibit is the perfect showcase of how technologies such as AI, Computer Visioning and Robotics are not only converging, but also building off the strengths of each technology to provide even greater value to our customers’ supply chains.”

As the world of logistics evolves, Geek+, OSARO, and DHL have teamed up to demonstrate practical robotics solutions that build operational resilience and bring flexibility to the global supply chain.
