Hai Robotics provides autonomous mobile robots and a cloud‑native Warehouse Execution System that automate case handling, pallet picking, and item retrieval in multi‑level warehouses. The robots use lidar‑SLAM and vision‑guided navigation, support up to 300 kg payloads, and integrate via REST/OPC UA APIs with existing WMS/ERP systems to increase storage density, speed order fulfillment, and reduce labor costs.

Problem
Warehouse operators often face limited storage density, labor-intensive picking processes, and high operational costs due to manual material handling. These constraints reduce throughput and make it difficult to meet fast‑delivery expectations in e‑commerce and retail fulfillment. Existing automation solutions can be inflexible, require extensive retrofitting, or lack integration with warehouse management systems.
Solution
Hai Robotics delivers a portfolio of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and a unified software stack that automates case handling, pallet picking, and item retrieval across multi‑level storage environments. The robots—such as the multi‑layer Haipick A42, telescopic Haipick A42T, and high‑speed K50—operate with payloads up to 300 kg and navigate aisles using lidar‑based SLAM and vision‑guided obstacle avoidance. All units communicate with the HaiQ Warehouse Execution System, which runs real‑time scheduling, task allocation, and performance analytics in the cloud. The platform exposes standard APIs (REST/OPC UA) for seamless integration with existing WMS/E‑ERP systems. A plug‑and‑play charging station (HaiCharger) ensures 24/7 robot availability, while safety modules—including four‑direction emergency stops and collision‑mitigation sensors—protect personnel and equipment. The solution scales from a single robot pilot to full‑warehouse fleets, enabling higher storage density, faster order fulfillment, and lower labor costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are fulfillment centers, 3PL providers, and manufacturers in apparel, retail, e‑commerce, automotive, 3C, and healthcare sectors seeking to automate case handling and increase storage efficiency.
