Malfini
Automated Apparel Warehouse
KVADOS GROUP
Malfini
Malfini supplies promotional clothing and workwear to 37 European countries. To support growth at its Ostrava logistics center, the company partnered with Kvados and Hai Robotics to automate reserve carton storage, improve inbound handling, and make better use of existing warehouse space.
Malfini's Challenges
- Storage Capacity: Increase reserve storage within the existing warehouse.
- Inbound Peaks: Process incoming cartons quickly and reduce container time on site.
- Carton Handling: Reliably handle different carton sizes and weights at heights approaching 12 meters.
- System Integration: Connect automated storage with existing warehouse systems and preparation workflows.
Our Solution
Hai Robotics and Kvados implemented HaiPick System 1 to automate carton storage and retrieval.
-
Automation Area: Approximately 1,150 m²
-
Robots: 3 HaiPick A42TD robots
-
Storage Capacity: Approximately 30,000 locations
-
Handling Height: Up to 12 meters
-
Conveyor Connections: 2 inbound and 2 outbound docking points
-
Software: Integrated with Malfini’s existing WMS through Kvados
The system stores incoming cartons and retrieves them for preparation, where products are transferred into totes for the next stage of fulfillment.
What Malfini Gained
Better Use of Warehouse Height
High-rise carton storage provides approximately 30,000 automated locations within the existing facility.
Automated Storage and Retrieval
Robots handle reserve cartons and deliver them to the preparation process.
Flexible Inbound Handling
During receiving peaks, cartons can be stored in nearby available locations and reorganized afterward.
A Foundation for Expansion
The first phase supports Malfini’s plans for further automation within the warehouse.
