Geekplus Expands LPP Logistics Partnership to 1,600 Robots in Poland

Warehouse robotics company Geekplus has expanded its partnership with LPP Logistics, the in-house logistics provider of multinational fashion group LPP, scaling an automated fulfilment operation that now runs more than 1,600 autonomous robots across two LPP Logistics sites in Poland, the company announced on September 30, 2026.

Geekplus said the expansion turns a single successful deployment into a broader, replicable model built on automation intended to make retail fulfilment across Europe faster and more resilient. The programme uses a tailored mix of Geekplus technology aligned to local operational requirements and draws on the company’s experience deploying large fleets of RoboShuttle and P-series robots across Europe. Applying proven system design and deployment processes across multiple facilities reduces integration complexity and makes go-lives faster and more predictable, the company said.

Geekplus framed Poland as strategically important to European retail and logistics as LPP strengthens its distribution capabilities in the country. The company said its system is designed to give LPP Logistics a highly scalable, robotics-led fulfilment operation that can adapt as LPP’s fashion assortment and product diversity evolve, including the sharp demand spikes of peak seasonal periods.

Inside the Two-Site Deployment

Across the two sites, more than 1,600 autonomous Geekplus robots work across racks and workstations, supporting hundreds of thousands of storage locations and totes. Geekplus reported that the automation provides 1.4 million automatic high-bay storage locations, with storage reaching around 12 metres high, and cited 99% measured efficiency gains. The solution maximises warehouse vertical capacity while maintaining throughput across a wide variety of retail SKUs and tote-based flows, supporting day-to-day retail fulfilment and more agile responses to seasonal variation, the company said.

Geekplus said the system pairs automation with skilled human oversight rather than replacing people, reducing repetitive manual handling and long walking distances so employees can focus on monitoring and exception handling. According to the company, this supports improved working conditions while building operational capability in robotics management and troubleshooting, and its operating system gives LPP Logistics continuous tracking and control over the flow of goods.

The announcement builds on Geekplus’ longer-running tote-handling robot line. The company entered that segment in 2018, and its RoboShuttle portfolio now comprises the Hyper, Air and Flex models, with RoboShuttle Hyper launched on August 12, 2026.

Scalability and Fleet Orchestration

Geekplus said scalability is central to the project. Its systems are designed so LPP Logistics can expand robot capacity, workstations and overall throughput over time in line with seasonal peaks, changing storage requirements and SKU growth, the company said. Geekplus reported that its Robot Management System enables consolidated orchestration of large robot fleets and supports more than 1,000 robots within a single site, which it said helps maintain operational continuity as a warehouse expands.

At both locations, Geekplus supported a phased rollout focused on maintaining operational continuity and minimising disruption, so that LPP Logistics could continue meeting customer expectations throughout the transition.

Hong Yu, CEO of Geekplus Europe, said the company is extending its warehouse automation strategy with LPP Logistics across two fulfilment centres in Poland, enabling high-density, fashion-focused fulfilment today while giving LPP Logistics the flexibility to add capacity over time. He described keeping high-volume fashion fulfilment fast and reliable while staying flexible enough to handle seasonal demand and changing assortments as one of the biggest challenges facing retailers.

Sebastian Sołtys, CEO of LPP Logistics, said choosing Geekplus was about bringing measurable value to the company’s fulfilment model, both by improving day-to-day operations and by building confidence in its ability to scale. He said the technology improves flow efficiency and throughput while reducing repetitive manual handling, and that the deployment approach gave LPP Logistics the assurance it needed to expand across sites while retaining flexibility to scale with a growing fashion assortment and changing seasonal demand.

LPP Logistics’ Wider Automation Programme

The expanded partnership builds on a warehouse automation programme that LPP Logistics detailed in a March 17, 2026 release. LPP said then that more than 3,500 autonomous units were operating in its e-commerce fulfilment warehouses near Bydgoszcz, in the Podkarpacie region and at a recently launched facility in Romania, after its fleet grew more than sixfold from 555 robots over the prior 12 months. LPP reported that its e-commerce warehouses processed 60 million orders between January and December 2025.

LPP said its robotic infrastructure combines several robot types within a single integrated system: robots that transport, pick up and place standardised containers on high-bay racks, autonomous units that deliver designated containers to picking stations, and robots that sort individual items for specific orders. LPP describes the operating principle as a tote-to-person model, in which goods are delivered automatically to stationary operators rather than requiring workers to walk picking routes.

According to the March 2026 release, automated high-bay storage holds up to 250 items per square metre, which LPP said is more than four times the roughly 65 items stored under a manual model, while picking can be carried out up to four to five times faster and sorting efficiency is up to three times higher than in a manual system.

The automation projects were implemented in just over six months across several sites simultaneously, LPP said, in collaboration with IT specialists from Silky Coders, with successive areas brought into operation as installation continued in other zones. LPP said in March 2026 that it intended to continue expanding its robotic infrastructure with further autonomous units in the coming months.
