Hai Robotics, a global leader in warehouse automation, proudly unveiled its latest breakthrough solution, HaiPick Climb, paving the way for a future where automated vertical warehousing is no longer limited by height, complexity, or floor space
Hai Robotics, a global leader in warehouse automation, proudly unveiled its latest breakthrough solution, HaiPick Climb, at the Hai Robotics Innovation Summit 2025 which was held on Friday, 25 April.
As Southeast Asia rapidly evolves into a global logistics hub, the demand for smarter, more space-efficient warehousing solutions has been increasing. The HaiPick Climb addresses these challenges with a game-changing robotic solution that simplifies goods-to-person automation, enabling warehouses and distribution centres to retrofit existing facilities more seamlessly. It increases throughput while reducing implementation time and costs compared to traditional Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), making ASRS more accessible and affordable for a wider range of facilities.
HaiPick Climb is engineered to operate in high-density storage environments, allowing robots to autonomously ascend storage racks and retrieve cases from multiple levels. This not only maximises vertical warehouse space—a critical factor in urbanised areas with limited land—but also significantly reduces the need for costly infrastructure expansion. The compact robots are ideal for narrow aisles, and their agility eliminates the need for cross-aisles, leading to a space-efficient racking design that makes the most of every square foot on the floor. HaiPick Climb’s efficient use of both horizontal and vertical space, reaching up to 12 metres (39+ feet) in height, allows for an impressive 30,000 storage locations within 1,000 square metres (10,763+ square feet), significantly enhancing space utilisation and reducing footprint.
Traveling at an impressive speed of 4 metres per second (13 feet per second) and climbing at 1 metre per second (3 feet per second), the HaiPick Climb system can process 4,000 totes per hour within a 1,000-square-meter (10,764-square-foot) space. Totes are delivered to workstations in as little as 2 minutes after order receipt — 34% faster than traditional ASRS — allowing for extended order cutoff times for same-day fulfillment.
By automating previously manual and labour-intensive vertical picking tasks, HaiPick Climb also addresses ongoing labour shortages and improves workplace safety. Moreover, the system’s integration with HaiQ, an intuitive and user-friendly warehouse management platform, enhances throughput and operational efficiency by intelligently managing order execution and robot dispatch, ensuring faster order fulfillment. Additionally, HaiQ provides real-time insights into warehouse and automation operations, supporting data-driven decision-making.
“HaiPick Climb represents a transformative step in warehouse automation,” said Nathan Zeng, President of Hai Robotics SEA & ANZ & South Korea, during the opening speech. “With the ability to climb and retrieve goods from elevated storage zones, this solution pushes the boundaries of what is possible in intelligent logistics and paves the way for smarter, more scalable operations.”
For markets like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, where space comes at a premium and operational costs are rising, HaiPick Climb offers a timely and strategic solution. The launch of HaiPick Climb reinforces Hai Robotics’ position at the forefront of warehouse automation, enhancing efficiency and enabling global supply chains to operate at new levels of performance.
