The brand-new YesAsia smart fulfillment center will be located at Goodman Interlink in Tsing Yi,Hong Kong,and equipped with 145 innovative AMRs from Geek+. This is the first partnership between the three parties,and is the largest single warehouse deployment of AMRs in Hong Kong's E-commerce industry.

Joshua Lau,CEO of YesAsia,said,"YesAsia understands the importance of staying ahead of the game in the face of 'new norms.' This is why we are investing in and introducing 145 Geek+ AMR robots into our Hong Kong warehouse with our like-minded partners,Goodman Group and Geek+. This move reflects our commitment to reforming our supply chain in order to provide the best possible logistics services to our valuable customers."
YesAsia's smart warehouse is a revolutionary step that will impact the company's operations and supply chain. The change is expected to be fully integrated by July 2022 in order to commence service for YesAsia's global customer base in the second half of the year. To enable this smart fulfillment center,Goodman Group provides well-located warehouses that are designed to accommodate the latest robotics and technology,not only to ensure a more efficient supply chain,but also faster and more flexible delivery of goods. The smart warehouse is conveniently located in the logistics hotspot of Hong Kong which is adjacent to Container Terminal 9,Stonecutters Bridge,with easy access to Hong Kong International Airport.
The YesAsia smart fulfillment center will implement Geek+'s goods-to-persons solutions.
