MIAMI, FL. OCTOBER 21, 2024 – BlueSkye Automation, a leading provider of turnkey automated material handling and intralogistics solutions, is proud to announce that we have been awarded The Best Use of Robotics Award at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA alongside partners Geek+ and Ship8. This marks the first time the 28-year-old international association has hosted awards in the United States, and it’s an honor for us to receive this recognition.

In partnership with Geek+, a global leader in mobile robotics and smart logistics, BlueSkye Automation was nominated for two awards this year. The first being The Best Use of Robotics Award, which acknowledges companies that have leveraged robotics to transform their logistics and supply chain operations. Additionally, we received a second nomination for the Supply Chain Product Award, which recognizes cutting-edge solutions that make a positive impact on the supply chain.

Together with Geek+, we implemented a fully automated smart warehouse solution for Ship8, a Georgia-based 3PL provider. Faced with increasing e-commerce demand and labor shortages, Ship8 needed a comprehensive solution to enhance their operations. The deployment included Geek+ Shelf-to-Person, Sorting, and SkyCube Pallet solutions, along with conveyors, print & apply, and robotic arms. Utilizing four different types of robot technology, the fully automated warehouse now manages a diverse range of order fulfillment, from B2B and B2C orders to each and case picks. BlueSkye Automation continues to provide ongoing support and service, ensuring the system’s success through our certified team of experts.

“Our integrated solutions are all about making work more efficient and increasing productivity; with Geek+, we can help our food and beverage, automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and e-commerce customers leverage the benefits of autonomous mobile robots” said Armando Gonzales, president of BlueSkye Automation.

Lit Fung, VP and Head of International Business at Geek+, added: “Winning a Supply Chain Excellence Award in the USA is valuable recognition for our brand and shows the great work done together with BlueSkye Automation. The Ship8 project has been a game changer in the industry and we are honored to be recognized with this award.”

Now in its 28th year, the Supply Chain Excellence Awards is a globally recognized benchmark for supply chain best practices, attracting entries from the UK and Europe. The rigorous judging process ensures that winners are evaluated by a panel of experts with over 250 years of combined experience. This recognition reflects BlueSkye Automation’s commitment to delivering innovative automation solutions that drive efficiency and productivity for our clients across industries including food and beverage, automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce.
