The company claimed that it has the largest share of the global autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market with operations in 30 countries. Geek+ plans to continue to strengthen its regional capabilities by teaming up with local as well as global integrators.

“We are not just an AMR provider, but [also] a long-term automation partner that continuously optimizes the operations of our customers,” added Yong Zheng. “It is done by strengthening our local service capabilities but also by simply analyzing robots in action and using the data gathered to optimize the algorithm powering our robots. It helps customers overcome logistics bottlenecks and gain short- and long-term efficiency improvements, allowing them to grow and expand their business.”
