…eight loads to goods-to-person workstations in one move, and shuttle between storage areas while avoiding obstacles. Shenzhen, China-based company said the HAIPICK A3 forklift robot is a new product that targets wider warehousing scenarios in addition to bin storage. It handles goods that don’t require a container, such as tires, trays and boards that can be lifted by a fork from the bottom. Its fork-lifting design brings an extra benefit of higher storage density since spaces between neighboring bins can be reduced, the company said. This type of robot is a good match with working environments where control for dust,…
