What is it?
The Hai Robotics HAIO is an autonomous case-handling robot (ACR) that retrieves individual cases from high-density warehouse racking systems up to 10 metres tall for goods-to-person fulfilment.
Who is it for?
- E-commerce operations with large SKU catalogues and limited warehouse floor space
- Retail fulfilment centres seeking to maximise vertical storage density
- Pharmaceutical distributors with strict case-level picking accuracy requirements
- 3PL operators retrofitting existing warehouses for higher throughput without rebuilding
Key specs
- Racking height: up to 10 m
- Case payload: up to 30 kg
- Horizontal speed: 4 m/s
- Vertical speed: 1 m/s
- Navigation: QR code positioning
- Customers: Decathlon, Cainiao, DHL
How it compares
Vs AutoStore R5: HAIO retrofits into existing open racking, making deployment faster and less disruptive. AutoStore uses a closed grid system that achieves higher bin density but requires full installation of proprietary grid infrastructure.
Limitations
- QR code flooring and racking must be Hai Robotics compatible
- Integration with existing WMS requires professional services
- High vertical racking requires building clearance of 10+ metres
- Less flexible for non-case picking workflows
FAQ
How much does the Hai Robotics HAIO cost?
Hai Robotics HAIO pricing is available through enterprise contracts only. Contact Hai Robotics or authorised partners for pricing based on deployment scale and warehouse configuration.
What is the Hai Robotics HAIO used for?
The HAIO is an autonomous case-handling robot (ACR) that retrieves individual storage cases from high-density racking systems up to 10 metres tall and delivers them to picking stations — enabling high-density storage without requiring traditional shelving reconfiguration.
What are the key specs of the HAIO?
The HAIO operates on racking up to 10 metres high, handles cases up to 30 kg each, operates at up to 4 m/s horizontally and 1 m/s vertically, and uses QR code navigation for precise positioning within the storage grid.
Who is the HAIO designed for?
The HAIO is designed for e-commerce and retail fulfilment operations with high SKU counts and limited floor space, where maximising vertical storage density is a primary concern.
How does the HAIO compare to AutoStore?
AutoStore uses a closed grid system with robots operating on top of bins, while HAIO uses open racking that can be retrofitted into existing warehouses. HAIO offers faster deployment in existing spaces; AutoStore achieves higher density in purpose-built installations.
