Goods-to-person AGV fleet — 320 robots, 3.2× pick rate
Designed and commissioned a 320-AGV goods-to-person system across 240,000 sq ft, replacing two-level mezzanine pick.

The challenge
The 3PL was forecasting 3× volume growth from a single retail client over 18 months. The existing pick-to-light mezzanine could not flex, hiring was a constraint, and the building lease prevented new mezzanine permits.
What we built
We designed an AGV-driven goods-to-person layout with 38 pick stations, integrated fleet management with the existing WMS via REST, and ran a phased install over 6 weeks alongside live operations. SLAM-based localization let us avoid floor magnets.
Key equipment
- Geek+ S20 / P40 AGVs ×320
- Honeywell pick stations
- Cisco industrial Wi-Fi 6
- Custom WMS integration layer

Results
Ramped to full fleet in 12 weeks. Lines per hour per associate moved from 78 to 250, peak-season hiring need dropped 60%, and the client signed a 5-year extension citing the new throughput.
