Nisbets Revolutionizes Warehouse Efficiency with Geekplus Robotics Integration

In a significant stride towards enhancing its operational capabilities, Nisbets, a leading distributor of catering equipment in the UK and Ireland, has successfully implemented Geekplus’ robotic solutions at its Avonmouth warehouse. This innovative enhancement not only positions Nisbets as a frontrunner in the catering equipment sector but also sets a new industry standard for efficiency and safety.

At the heart of this transformation is Geekplus' advanced fleet of 190 Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). This fleet includes an impressive 39 RS8 robots, 133 P40 robots, and 18 P800 robots, all designed to optimize high-volume order picking processes. The Avonmouth facility, which houses over 12,500 unique products, has seen remarkable improvements in operational flexibility, safety standards, and order fulfillment accuracy, thus ensuring timely deliveries and substantial inventory availability for both B2B and B2C customers.

The partnership with Geekplus has allowed Nisbets to harness intelligent systems that streamline warehouse operations. By facilitating a seamless flow of goods through state-of-the-art conveyor systems, all processes from goods-in to goods-out are interconnected, greatly enhancing efficiency. Justin Collard, Warehouse Manager at Nisbets, remarked, “Working with Geekplus has enabled us to optimize our warehouse activities, providing better service to our customers with a solution that is both flexible and scalable across our operations.”

With the implementation of Geekplus robotics, Nisbets has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to customer service excellence. Simon Houghton, Sales Director for Northern Europe at Geekplus, affirmed, “This collaboration ensures that Nisbets can consistently deliver operational excellence and reliable services to its expanding customer base.” This synergy not only improves operational performance but also reinforces Nisbets’ reputation as the preferred supplier for hospitality professionals throughout Europe.

The integration project was further enhanced by AMH Material Handling, whose expertise in warehouse integration played a crucial role in the implementation of these sophisticated systems. Barry Pemberton, Sales Director at AMH Material Handling, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “Our combined expertise has enabled us to craft a highly effective solution for Nisbets, showcasing the impact of cooperation in achieving customer satisfaction.”

Moreover, Geekplus' Robot Management System (RMS) equips Nisbets with real-time operational insights, bolstering decision-making processes and ensuring continuous improvement capabilities. This robust set of tools helps Nisbets remain agile and responsive to market fluctuations and customer needs.

As Nisbets continues to evolve within the competitive catering and hospitality market, its strategic implementation of robotics not only enhances productivity but also affirms its position as a trusted name in catering supplies. Geekplus, recognized as the leading global provider of mobile robotics for the sixth consecutive year, stands proud to support Nisbets in this transformative journey. This partnership exemplifies how innovation and technology can directly contribute to improved customer experiences and business operational excellence.

With the complexities of today’s supply chains, the journey of Nisbets highlights a blueprint for others in the industry. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and embracing automation, businesses can not only meet current demands but also pave the way for sustainable growth in the future.
