Breakthrough Technology

Traditional warehouse management relies heavily on manual labor, which presents many challenges regarding availability, costs, and efficiencies. For facilities that still operate manually, normal human error, slow and low-efficiency operations, and natural physical limitations often result in a delay in facility maintenance, expired storage, and failure to replenish parts in a timely manner when inventory is low. These issues can create major problems for operations.

Hai Robotics' Autonomous Case-handling Robot (ACR) systems are highly efficient "goods to person" solutions designed for totes & cartons transportation and process optimization. These solutions provide efficient, intelligent, flexible, and cost-effective warehouse automation through robotic technology. The HaiPick system is the world's first ACR system that incorporates HaiPick robots, workstations and HaiQ Software Platform to perform picking, sorting, and transporting operations.

Hai Robotics' solutions enable warehouse operators to pick and choose what solution would work best within their existing operations. It targets components of operations, rather than an entire system overhaul. This approach means companies reluctant to invest vast sums of money into an entirely automated warehouse can test the water by deploying a few robots to automate a specific process. It can also alleviate bottlenecks for those who want to improve efficiencies without disrupting workflows and making large capital investments.

HaiPick A42T

The HaiPick A42T, Telescopic Lift ACR, is the world's first ACR that can pick and store plastic totes and carton boxes at a dizzying height of up to 10m (32.8 feet).

Characteristics:

• Maximum picking height 10m (32.8 feet): Improve storage density by up to an additional 100% compared to the standard A42.

• World's first telescopic ACR: Utilize your warehouse space even more efficiently by picking and storing 30kg (66.1 lbs) payloads up to 10m (32.8 feet) high.

• High efficiency: The A42T has multiple storage trays to carry up to nine payloads simultaneously, which greatly improves picking efficiency.

• Flexible payload dimensions: The robot supports separate and mixed picking of plastic totes and carton boxes.

• Product safety: CE+NRTL certified.

HaiPort

The HaiPort-powered workstation is an innovative solution designed to increase case-handling efficiency while reducing workplace safety incidents with least human intervention. It is suitable for storage scenarios such as raw materials of production, small electronics, and other small items that can be stored in single cases, in a factory or warehouse, that need a long picking time. It has been deployed in over 100 projects and proved to be a helpful tool for order fulfillment.

A new design to increase throughput

The collaboration between the HaiPick robots, HaiPort, and the conveyor allows one-stop case handling from inbound to outbound orders.

With case loading and unloading being processed simultaneously, a single workstation can handle up to 900 cases per hour, far exceeding that of manual handling. That speed is 16 times faster than the robot-to-conveyor belt transport.

The system promises higher case-handling capacity, with four to eight cases being loaded in 3 seconds and unloaded in 5 seconds. A single robot’s efficiency can be improved by 30% compared with manual loading/unloading.
