This Is What Adidas & Allbirds Are Using To Multiply Warehouse Efficiency By 3.1X While DOUBLING Profit Margins (And How You Can Do The Same!)

What really surprised me was how fast we were able to get robots into the grid and start stress testing the system. The collaboration across teams was powerful — working with AutomateX and Geek+ felt like a real partnership. It’s exciting to be part of such an innovative installation and see automation make such a tangible difference.

We were able to scale to three shifts running about 10,000 e-commerce orders a day — roughly 30,000 handling units — something that wouldn’t have been possible without this automation. The collaboration with AutomateX and Geek+ has been incredible. They align with our values, bring great energy, and enable open, honest conversations that drive results. I’m truly proud of this project.

We trusted Automate-X to deliver speed and reliability, and they delivered. Their team worked closely with us, ensuring a smooth transition and invaluable support. Automate-X’s unique, process-driven, and engineering-focused approach truly sets them apart from others in the systems integration market, proving their capabilities and commitment to excellence at every step. We’re thrilled with the positive impact this collaboration has had on our business.

Automate-X provided programming, equipment and implementation of a new controls system for our recent expansion project. The new system worked seamlessly alongside the existing system, provided reliable control and was able to be adjusted to our refined needs. Following the project, an upgrade to the existing system was completed to improve reliability and ensure we have compatibility across our existing and new facilities.

Automation can help increase operational productivity and maximise storage utilisation. As you can see here, we’ve done a successful implementation, and the team is already reaping the benefits in a short amount of time. What we really value is working with people — not just processes. We can’t speak highly enough about the collaboration with Geek+ and Automate-X.

The main goal for this project was to implement a safe and efficient operation. Heavy lifting had always been a challenge for this process, so we partnered with Automate-X to create a solution that would protect our people while maintaining productivity. Working together, we brought that vision to fruition and set a new standard for workplace safety.

At Easy Steel, we’re always looking for ways to improve workplace safety and efficiency. In collaboration with Automate-X, we introduced our very first robot system at the Invercargill site. It’s designed to reduce physical strain and enhance productivity — protecting our team while maintaining the high performance our customers expect.

We decided to upgrade our plant to increase capacity, which meant introducing a far higher level of automation than before. Our goal was greater consistency, repeatability, and reliability while reducing manual effort and improving overall quality. Automate-X delivered a tailored system that met those needs perfectly, giving us improved efficiency, dependable control, and valuable time savings across operations.
