Geek+, the global leader in mobile robots, has won this year’s world-renowned iF DESIGN AWARD. The winning product, Geek+’s warehouse execution system (WES), won in the User Interface discipline, in the Interfaces for Digital Media category. Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, the world’s oldest independent design organisation, organises the iF DESIGN AWARD each year.
Brian Lee, Head of EMEA at Geek+, said: “It’s an honor to win this award for the design of our software. We are a robotics company, known for our world-leading hardware, but one of the main keys to our success is the ingenuity we put into the software that makes our robots move so effectively and efficiently and makes them so easy to use. Thank you to iF for recognising our efforts!”
The Geekplus WES is a warehouse task execution system that goes beyond task scheduling to optimise and balance the collaboration between multiple automated units. The system incorporates ideas and theories of gamification to make it easy and enjoyable for warehouse employees to use, a key principle of sustainable design. The WES has been applied in several industries including, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and the automotive industries, among others.
Geek+’s immersive and interesting warehouse execution system won over the 133-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its ability to schedule warehouse tasks and coordinate fleets of robots to maximise efficiency and throughput. The competition was intense: almost 11,000 entries were submitted from 56 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality.
