Geek+ and Nike introduce same-day delivery to Japan
The smart robots carry Nike products and packages directly to the warehouse worker, reducing costs, increasing picking efficiency and making daily work easier on the warehouse operators.
Tokyo, February 5, 2020 - Geek+, a global provider of smart logistics solutions announces it has powered same-day delivery for Nike in Japan, providing advanced robotics solutions to Nike's new distribution center in Chiba, deploying more than 200 robots from its goods-to-person P series line. The smart robots carry Nike products and packages directly to the warehouse worker, reducing costs, increasing picking efficiency and making daily work easier on the warehouse operators.
With the rapid growth of ecommerce, labor shortage in the logistics industry has become a serious economic issue. Although warehouses globally are still mainly manually operated, a need for automation and new robotics technologies is fast increasing, o meet demand and challenges brought by the massive growth of online platforms, major retailers such as Nike are introducing robots to transform their logistics operations. Smart robots guarantee lower cost, efficiency, flexibility and safety in the warehouse.
With Geek+, Nike has been able to introduce same-day delivery to its Japan customers.
Geek+ will continue to propose best-in-class smart logistics solutions tailored to customer operations and contribute to solving operational problems in various industries, from retail and apparel to manufacturing sites.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
