Hai Robotics to Display Technology in Italy, as Demand for Warehouse Automation Rises

Hai Robotics, the pioneer in Autonomous Case-handling Robot (ACR) systems for warehouse logistics, will for the first time display its technology in Italy, at the upcoming Intralogistica Italia 2022 from May 3-6, in Fiera Milano, Rho.

The company, with European headquarters in the Netherlands, will run live demos of its solution with the HaiPick A42 robot at the tradeshow in Italy, which sees rising demand for more flexible and cost-efficient goods to person order-picking solutions as e-commerce grows fast in recent years.

Davide Tuzi, Hai Robotics' Country Manager in Italy, said: "Our ACR system is an excellent solution for the challenges the Italian warehousing/logistics market is facing, and an excellent solution deserves a team of excellent people to support it. This is the kind of team we are building up in Europe, and in Italy in particular."

"We aim to create a local network of system integrator, installation, and service partners so that any user of ACR systems can expect rapid and high-quality service wherever they are in Italy," Tuzi added.

The second-largest manufacturing country in Europe, Italy has a strong curiosity for automation, including automated warehouses and distribution centers, as the government is pushing forward to develop Industry 4.0, Tuzi said.

As the EU's third-largest economy, Italy registers solid growth in e-commerce, catalyzed by the Covid-19 lockdown. The country is the 14th largest market for eCommerce with a revenue of US$26 billion in 2021, according to Statista Digital Market Outlook.

Also, as fewer people want to do hard manual labor, the lack of enough qualified workers is another driver for warehouses in Italy to turn their eyes to automation, Tuzi said, noting robots will improve the work environment in warehouses.  

Hai Robotics' ACR systems, using HaiPick robots doing picking and sorting, offer a warehousing efficiency of three to four times faster than manual work and allow maximum space utilization. The HaiPick A42 robot can reach as high as 8 meters and carry eight loads of totes/cartons in one movement to continuously feed goods to person stations. The robot, supported by smart algorithms and equipped with high-precision cameras, boasts 99.99% picking and sorting accuracy, thus eliminating the risk of returns due to errors.

The ACR systems can be implemented in a very short time and are easily scalable. Clients can scale the project according to their growth curves with little disruption to the operation. Hence, they are ideal for existing warehouses.

The systems have been implemented in more than 500 projects around the world, including leading brands of e-commerce, 3PL, manufacturing, and apparel, many of which have faced strong seasonal peaks.
