[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Logistics Solutions (DLS) announced on the 5th that it has signed an exclusive domestic supply contract with Geekplus, a Chinese company specializing in Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).


DLS is a logistics automation system integrator (SI) that provides software controlling and managing the entire logistics process?from warehouse design to product receiving, movement, storage, and shipping?as well as automated hardware facilities. Since its establishment in May last year, it has built a track record by supplying logistics automation equipment and software to domestic and international petrochemical, cosmetics, and courier companies.


Geekplus, which signed the contract with DLS, has sold over 10,000 AMRs for more than 200 logistics automation projects worldwide since 2015, including clients such as Walmart, Nike, and Dell. It holds the number one position in the global AMR market with a 16% market share.


Geekplus’s AMRs perform picking (retrieving outbound products from storage locations within the warehouse), sorting, retrieval, and movement inside logistics warehouses based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. According to DLS, Geekplus’s picking robots can increase productivity by up to 300%, and sorting robots by up to 500%, compared to manual environments.


Under this contract, DLS will exclusively supply Geekplus’s AMRs and other logistics automation robots domestically and provide maintenance services.



A DLS representative stated, "With the rapid growth of e-commerce and the expansion of untact (contactless) consumption, it is becoming increasingly important to operate logistics centers efficiently and simplify complex logistics systems. By supplying optimized design and intelligent software along with AMR logistics automation equipment, we will provide customers with advanced logistics solutions."
