Unmanned Warehouse / Robot Warehouse / Warehouse Robot / Logistics Robot / Loading & Unloading Robot

Hello everyone! It's Pengbok, back with a new edition of <Robot Gr-Al (I Want to Know That)>! 🐧

After wrapping up recent exhibitions and spending a long Chuseok holiday, it felt a bit strange to sit down and write again. I was worried you might have forgotten about me, but I've rolled up my sleeves to bring you another fascinating robot story!

Today, the robot Brian and I will introduce is... An unmanned warehouse management logistics robot! 📦

 An unmanned 'Fresh Store' where you can purchase fresh food anytime, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

These days, we see unmanned convenience stores and kiosks everywhere—many parts of our daily lives are becoming unmanned or robotized.

Today’s case also features a system that uses robots to manage and operate a warehouse 24/7 without human intervention. In the middle of the night, while everyone is asleep, these logistics robots are bustling about in a quiet, unmanned warehouse! Let’s meet them with Brian. 😉

Q. Hello Brian! Could you give us a brief introduction to the unmanned warehouse system we're looking at today?

Hello, Pengbok. The picking robots from Geek+ featured in this case look exactly like the robot vacuum cleaners we are familiar with. Though small in size, they work like tireless laborers, moving items here and there to automate warehouse management.

You can think of it like an automated parking system or a parking tower. Just as you leave your car on a platform and it gets parked automatically without you driving it, these robots place inventory exactly where it needs to be without a human having to move an inch.

Q. Oh, they really are small, darting around everywhere! What are the advantages of using this unmanned warehouse system? 🤔

The biggest advantage is the ability to build an efficient management system by distinguishing between long-term storage items and high-frequency items! The time required for input and pickup has also been significantly reduced.

Furthermore, you can store more items in a compact space, maximizing space utilization. In fact, a company that introduced this system was able to increase its storage capacity by 30%.

Q. True! Using given space effectively is always a difficult but crucial task. I’m still trying to visualize it—how exactly does it operate?

First, when a user sends a request to store an item, the robot moves to the corresponding shelf. After picking up the shelf, it moves to the input station.

From there, it’s a repetitive process: loading items → moving to storage location → moving to the next shelf → moving to the pickup location. If a human did this, they’d be exhausted from all the back-and-forth, but the robot stays perfectly fine, right? 😎

Q. I’ll say! I’m jealous of its endless stamina. Seeing such a small body move those large shelves, it must have incredible strength!

Exactly. It moves with tireless energy. With a maximum payload of 1,000kg, these shelves are no trouble at all. In the old days, human laborers doing this much work would need a lot of food, but this robot charges itself automatically, so you don't even have to worry about feeding it! 🤣

Q. Haha, it’s a modern-day digital laborer! 🤣 I heard that it maximizes operational efficiency while minimizing investment costs. Is that true?!

Yes, by utilizing the RaaS (Robot as a Service) model, investment costs are minimized and operational efficiency, including maintenance, is maximized. It also allows for the optimal management of over 100 robots simultaneously.

Because of the automatic charging I mentioned, it can work 24 hours a day, day or night.

 * Raas (Robot As A Service): A model that minimizes investment costs required for implementation and maximizes operational efficiency, such as maintenance and repair, by handling the introduction and operation management of robots on behalf of the user in exchange for a fee based on a fixed period, similar to a subscription service.

Q. Wow... but since it runs 24/7, I can't help but worry about stability and safety. 😢

Oh, don't you worry about that. It’s natural to be concerned about new systems, but this specific system has over 10,000 units installed and operating worldwide, proving the reliability and stability of both its hardware and software.

Q. So! Finally, isn't the most important part the price? How much would a great system like this cost!

The price you can check after logging into Marosol is approximately 300 million KRW. It’s a jaw-dropping price, right? But please keep in mind that this is the price for a set of five robots, specific terms are subject to negotiation, and the ROI (Return on Investment) period is within one year. 😉

🧑: So, you can leave the unmanned warehouse to the robots and sleep with your legs stretched out! Haha.

🐧: Hmm, in that case, I should get a consultation to see if there's a robot that can go to work instead of me starting tomorrow.

🧑: I heard if you ask Marosol, you can get an answer within an hour... Shall we go together? 🤣

Considering the labor and costs involved in operating a warehouse, this was an incredibly attractive case that makes it hard to hesitate! If you'd like a free consultation regarding this solution, contact Marosol right now!
