…claimed that HAIPICK allows greater space utilization and higher precision and efficiency than traditional goods-to-person systems, such as Kiva robots that move an entire rack. The company said its ACRs can boost a warehouse’s storage density by 80% to 400% and improve workers' picking speeds can by three to four times. In addition, the HAIPICK robots, which use QR codes on the floor for navigation, can be deployed within one month with no altering of the interior structure of a warehouse, it said. Customers that prefer smaller picking units than an entire rack or pallet when automating their warehouses have…
