SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

*HAI ROBOTICS is working with sportswear giant Anta on a third automated

warehouse following the success of two earlier projects. The subscription of

the latest project from Anta, together with dozens of projects ongoing in the

footwear and apparel market, marks HAI ROBOTICS an established supplier in the

sector.

HAI ROBOTICS(https://www.hairobotics.com/en/home/index), a global pioneer in

Autonomous Case-handling Robotic (ACR) system for warehouse logistics, and

Anta, the world's top three sportswear brand, will launch in south China a new

project, as the autonomous robot maker's cutting-edge autonomous

totes-to-person solution will help Anta accommodate surging orders.

The new project, to be launched in April in Anta's brand-new warehouse in

Foshan, Guangdong Province, will be the third joint-project between the two

companies, marking HAI ROBOTICS' continued success in warehouse automation, in

footwear and apparel sector in particular.

Using HAI ROBOTICS' ACR system, the 9-meter-high warehouse would reach a much

higher storage density to offer up to 30,240 locations, with daily throughput

expected to reach 128,000 units.

As an official sponsor of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Anta has

seen surging deals, putting warehouse logistics under mounting pressure.

"Anta sees HAI ROBOTICS as an important long-term partner, as we have shared

ambition in smart warehousing," Chen Jiancong, General Manager of logistics of

Anta Group, said at the group's logistics partnership conference, held in its

headquarters in Jinjiang, southeast China's Fujian Province, on Tuesday.

Richie Chen, founder and CEO of HAI ROBOTICS, said his company names Anta as

one of the top-ten most important global clients, who are entitled to more

tailored service. "Together we will keep innovating to address more challenging

scenarios for the footwear and apparel warehousing sector and bring more added

value to our customers," Chen said.

HAI ROBOTICS, named a global AI unicorn by Hurun Research Institute in the 2021

ranking, has dozens of ongoing projects for top footwear and apparel brands.

The company was awarded the best strategic supplier by Anta, at Tuesday's

conference, to recognize the efficiency the ACR system has helped to achieve in

the supply chain.

Continued success

HAI ROBOTICS' ACR system was first deployed in Anta's warehouse in southwestern

China's Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in April 2021.

With 25 customized HAIPICK robots doing case picking and retrieving from

shelves to continuously feed goods-to-person picking stations, storage density

of the 5.7-meter-high warehouse increased significantly to offer up to 27,600

locations. It can handle up to 80,000 units in outbound orders per day.

The warehouse, which was previously stretched tight to handle its tens of

thousands of SKUs at low picking accuracy, is now feeding the needs from 1,200

brick-and-mortal stores with a weekly outbound volume of 60,000 pieces.

The tremendous efficiency improvement prompted Anta into a second warehouse

automation project with HAI ROBOTICS only three months later.

A larger robot fleet was stationed in its 3,500-square-meter warehouse in

Jinjiang. With the redesign of 11-layer shelves inside the 5.7-meter-high

warehouse, the project provides around 20,000 storage locations. The warehouse

reached a daily outbound capacity of 200,000 pieces with the use of

HAIPORT-powered Workstation, an automatic loading and unloading machine.
