About
Hai Robotics is a leading provider of warehouse robotics and automation solutions, offering AI-driven goods-to-person fulfillment systems under the HaiPick brand. Their Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are built around four modular base configurations — HaiPick Climb, System 1, System 2, and System 3 — each designed to adapt to a facility's unique storage density, throughput, and SKU mix requirements. The HaiPick lineup features a range of autonomous case-handling robots (ACRs), including telescopic lift, fork-lifting, grappling-hook, and multi-layer climbing variants, all orchestrated by the HaiQ Software Platform. This intelligent software layer manages robot fleets, optimizes task sequencing, and integrates with existing WMS/ERP environments. Key performance outcomes include 3x increased throughput, 4x greater efficiency, 67% lower labor costs, 75% reduced storage footprint, and 99%+ picking accuracy — with zero human travel required for order fulfillment. Industries served include e-commerce, apparel, retail, grocery, healthcare, electronics, automotive, and third-party logistics (3PL). Hai Robotics also offers an ROI Calculator, Solution Generator, Virtual Warehouse demos, and an educational resource hub to help businesses evaluate and plan deployments. The platform is suitable for small businesses scaling up as well as enterprise-level operations processing millions of orders per month.
Key Features
- HaiPick ASRS Systems: Four modular base systems (Climb, System 1, 2, 3) with endless configurations to match any facility's storage density, throughput, and fulfillment needs.
- Autonomous Case-Handling Robots (ACRs): A diverse robot fleet including multi-layer climbing, telescopic lift, fork-lifting, and grappling-hook variants for handling diverse SKU types and storage formats.
- HaiQ Software Platform: AI-driven orchestration software that manages robot fleets, optimizes task routing, and integrates seamlessly with existing WMS and ERP systems.
- Goods-to-Person Fulfillment: Eliminates human travel within the warehouse, delivering items directly to workstations for 99%+ picking accuracy and dramatically faster order processing.
- ROI Calculator & Virtual Warehouse Demos: Interactive planning tools including an ROI Calculator, Solution Generator, and Virtual Warehouse simulations to evaluate automation investments before deployment.
Use Cases
- E-commerce fulfillment centers looking to increase order throughput and enable same-day or next-day shipping without proportional headcount growth.
- Healthcare distributors and hospital supply chains requiring high-accuracy picking of medical products with strict traceability and efficiency requirements.
- Apparel and retail brands managing high SKU-count inventory across national distribution centers, needing faster replenishment to stores.
- Third-party logistics (3PL) providers seeking flexible, reconfigurable automation that can handle multiple client product types within a shared facility.
- Grocery and perishables distributors requiring rapid, accurate goods retrieval to meet tight fulfillment windows in temperature-controlled environments.
Pros
- Proven Performance Gains: Documented outcomes of 3x throughput, 4x efficiency, and 67% labor cost reduction make ROI tangible and measurable for warehouse operators.
- Highly Modular & Scalable: Four base systems with endless configuration options allow the platform to scale from small businesses to large enterprise operations without rearchitecting the solution.
- Multi-Industry Applicability: Purpose-built configurations for e-commerce, grocery, healthcare, automotive, apparel, and 3PL ensure broad sector relevance.
- Comprehensive Planning Tools: Virtual Warehouse demos, ROI calculators, and a Solution Generator help decision-makers visualize and validate deployments before committing capital.
Cons
- Enterprise-Level Investment: Hardware-based ASRS deployments require significant capital expenditure and facility preparation, making them less accessible to very small operations.
- Complex Implementation: Deploying physical robotics infrastructure involves facility assessment, integration with existing systems, and extended rollout timelines compared to software-only tools.
- Opaque Pricing: No public pricing is listed; costs are custom-quoted per project, which can slow down initial evaluation for budget-conscious buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HaiPick ASRS system?
HaiPick is Hai Robotics' line of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS). These are robotic platforms that autonomously store and retrieve inventory bins or cases, delivering them to human workstations — a model known as goods-to-person fulfillment.
Which industries does Hai Robotics serve?
Hai Robotics serves a wide range of industries including e-commerce, apparel, retail, grocery, healthcare, electronics, automotive, and third-party logistics (3PL).
How does the HaiQ Software Platform work?
HaiQ is an AI-powered warehouse management and robot orchestration platform that coordinates all robot activities, optimizes order sequencing, tracks inventory, and integrates with existing WMS/ERP systems via APIs.
Can Hai Robotics systems scale as my business grows?
Yes. HaiPick systems are modular by design, meaning additional robots, racks, and workstations can be added incrementally as throughput and storage needs grow — without requiring a full system redesign.
How can I estimate the ROI of a Hai Robotics deployment?
Hai Robotics offers a free online ROI Calculator and a Solution Generator on their website. They also provide Virtual Warehouse demos and can arrange consultations with their solutions engineering team to model expected outcomes for your specific operation.
