Geekplus launches RoboShuttle Hyper for high-throughput warehouse fulfillment

Geekplus, one of the world’s largest warehouse automation technology providers, has launched RoboShuttle Hyper, its next-generation tote-to-person climbing AMR solution. The accompanying new Max Workstation enables a dual-point continuous tote-feeding mode that can exceed 800 totes per hour.

Throughput is a critical metric for fulfillment operators, and RoboShuttle Hyper was engineered to optimize it at every level. The system allows more robots to work in the same space at the same time without trading away reliability.

What Happened

RoboShuttle Hyper climbs at up to 1.5 m/s. New motion-control algorithms, refined across years of real-world robot operation, give Hyper faster travel and tighter positioning accuracy when retrieving totes.

• Engineered for high-throughput operations, including B2C e-commerce order surges, fresh-food and cold-chain fulfillment, consolidation warehouse operations and micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs), RoboShuttle Hyper delivers up to 6,000 totes per hour per 1,000 square meters.

• Parallel horizontal and vertical climbing enables 50 percent higher concurrency than the industry norm.

• Two aisles running beneath a single rack increase robot path density by 30% over the industry average, reducing congestion and enabling faster dispatching.

Key Details

Its 1:10 charge-to-discharge ratio helps maintain availability during peak periods. RoboShuttle Hyper supports concurrent operation of multiple robots across adjacent columns.

• Geekplus’ intelligent scheduling system can coordinate up to 5,000 robots across 50,000 square meters and 3 million storage locations.

• Geekplus entered the tote-handling segment in 2018 and has continued to expand its technology portfolio, from its large/small robot architecture to the launch of RoboShuttle Air in 2024 and the introduction of Robot Arm.

• RoboShuttle Hyper is also fully compatible with Geekplus’ Robot Arm Picking Stations and the Gino 1 general-purpose humanoid robot, extending the company’s end-to-end capabilities for high-throughput fulfillment.

Why It Matters

Only two rack columns need to be locked, compared to the industry norm of four to six columns. RoboShuttle Hyper also enables dual-robot operation within the same column.

• RoboShuttle Hyper is also compatible with RoboSafe, Geekplus’ safety vest solution.

• Reliability is reinforced through a column-rail-integrated system with decoupled beam loading, multi-layer fall protection limiting tote fall distance to 50 mm or less, and real-time tote misalignment detection and re-centering.
