Geekplus is building SkyCube into multi-zone cold-chain automation

A May 15, 2025 JJCL deployment puts Geekplus SkyCube, P800 robots, lifts, and software into pallet flow across frozen and chilled zones.

JJCL Cold-Chain Pallet Flow

Geekplus published on May 15, 2025 that its SkyCube pallet-to-person system was live at a 2,700-square-meter JJCL flagship cold-chain facility. Pallet movement across temperature zones adds constraints beyond ordinary storage density. Frozen and chilled warehouses bring labor-exposure limits, frost resistance, handoff risk, and compliance pressure to every movement. Geekplus calls the system the first production-grade deployment of fully automated multi-temperature pallet handling, while the public record reviewed does not disclose when JJCL commissioned the project or when site installation began.

The system combines high-density SkyCube pallet storage robots in frozen zones, P800 robots in chilled zones, high-speed lifts, and a unified software platform. Liu Kai, Geekplus head of system, is useful here because the quoted function is technical: multi-temperature robots and continuous sub-zero operation. JJCL brings a scaled cold-chain surface, with seven subsidiary branches and 11 cold-storage facilities totaling more than 560,000 cubic meters.

Company Scale Behind A Cold-Chain Claim

Geekplus later reported that, as of June 30, 2025, it had delivered more than 66,000 robots to more than 40 countries and regions. The same interim record names 52 service stations, 12 spare-parts centers, more than 310 engineers, more than 850 end customers, and a customer repurchase rate above 80 percent. That service footprint is relevant to JJCL because cold storage punishes downtime and hardware maintenance more severely than ambient fulfillment.

Geekplus says the JJCL deployment increased storage capacity by 70 percent, improved picking efficiency by 90 percent, and achieved 99.99 percent accuracy. Those remain company-published deployment figures. Public material does not publish pallet moves per hour, service interventions in frozen zones, energy cost per pallet movement, customer-level payback, or a SkyCube installed-base count beyond the JJCL first-production claim. The clearest public metric is pallet throughput per labor hour by temperature zone under Geekplus.
