HAI Robotics
HAI Robotics created the autonomous case-handling robot (ACR) category, a denser and cheaper alternative to shelf-carrying AMRs, and has grown into a global warehouse-automation leader.
ACR Logistics Global Shenzhen
Company Overview
- HAI Robotics pioneered the ACR concept — robots that fetch individual totes or cases from high-density shelving — instead of moving entire shelves.
- This approach boosts storage density and throughput while cutting costs, and has been adopted by e-commerce, apparel, retail and 3PL operators worldwide.
- The company has expanded beyond China into Europe, the US, Japan and Southeast Asia with local support teams.
