STL uses HP SitePrint to enable Geek+ AMR navigation

“For print we use a maximum of two days with HP SitePrint, and normally we would have used like two weeks for this. And we know we’re 100% reliable when we use it. There’s no human factors in it. We know when the printing is done, it’s accurate.” — Michael Petersen, STL

Project background

  • Type of project: Installation of QR code navigation system for Geek+ AMR in warehouses
  • Owner requirement: QR codes had to be positioned with ±2 mm accuracy to guarantee safe and reliable AMR operation
  • Scope of layout: 1,500 QR code location printed across warehouses of 2,500m²
