The Hai NexTech Tour, hosted by Hai Robotics EMEA, is a series of exclusive events renowned for their success in previous years, with seats selling out quickly. Designed for Hai customers and partners, it offers a dynamic platform to explore cutting-edge technologies and solutions, share innovative ideas for business growth, and uncover new opportunities for achieving process excellence in supply chain and logistics.
The standard load is 30 kg. The maximum load can be customized to 50 kg.
To achieve an ideal 30 mm case spacing, we must install a guard board on the rack, which restricts the tote's position. Consequently, there's no need to recognize the tote's angle using a QR code. This method enhances the efficiency of loading and unloading goods.
1. Demand forecasting: Accurate demand forecasting is critical for retail logistics management to avoid stock-outs or overstocking. Retailers must also manage inventory levels to optimize sales and minimize losses from overstocking or understocking. However, the retail industry's complex supply chains can make it challenging to manage relationships with multiple suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers and ensure the timely delivery of goods.
2. Transportation costs: Transportation costs associated with moving products from suppliers to stores can also be a challenge for retailers. Managing delivery schedules and negotiating rates with carriers is essential. Additionally, customers expect fast and accurate delivery of products, which puts pressure on retailers to offer efficient logistics operations.
3. Reverse logistics: Reverse logistics is another significant challenge for retail logistics management. Retailers must manage the process of returns, repairs, and refurbishment of products, which can be time-consuming and costly. Implementing and managing logistics technology, such as warehouse management systems and transportation management systems, is essential to improve efficiency and accuracy.
4. Sustainability: retailers must consider the environmental impact of their logistics operations and implement sustainable practices, such as reducing packaging waste and using eco-friendly transportation methods.
1. Increased Efficiency: Automation solutions can revolutionize the logistics process by eliminating the need for manual tasks, resulting in increased efficiency in the supply chain.
2. Cost Savings: By reducing labor costs, increasing accuracy, and reducing errors, businesses can save money and reinvest it into other areas of their operations.
3. Improved Customer Service: With visibility and tracking of inventory and shipments, businesses can respond quickly to customer inquiries and provide accurate delivery times.
4. Increased Flexibility: With automation solutions, businesses can respond quickly to changes in demand, supply chain disruptions, and other factors that can impact the logistics process.
5. Enhanced Visibility: Automation solutions provide visibility and tracking of inventory and shipments, enabling businesses to make informed decisions and optimize their logistics operations.

Machine vision (MV) is the technology and methods used to provide imaging-based automatic inspection and analysis for such applications as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guidance, usually in industry.
A passage between two racks, where the stacker moves.
ACR refers to an autonomous robot designed to handle and transport cases or containers within a warehouse or distribution center without the need of human intervention. These robots are equipped with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and navigation capabilities to autonomously navigate through the facility, pick up and drop off cases, and optimize the movement of goods. ACRs are commonly used to automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks such as order fulfillment, inventory replenishment, and material handling.
AGV stands for Automated Guided Vehicle, which refers to a self-operating mobile robot used for material handling and transportation tasks within a controlled environment such as a warehouse or manufacturing facility. These vehicles are equipped with various sensors, navigation systems, and control technology to navigate through predefined paths or use real-time data to dynamically plan their routes. AGVs are commonly used to transport goods, pallets, or other materials between different locations, reducing the need for manual labor and improving efficiency.
AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) refers to a type of robot that is capable of navigating and performing tasks without human intervention. These robots are equipped with sensors, cameras, and other technologies that allow them to perceive their environment and make decisions based on that information. AMRs are designed to operate in various environments, such as warehouses, factories, hospitals, and even public spaces. They can navigate through obstacles, avoid collisions, and carry out tasks autonomously, such as material handling, inventory management, and transportation. AMRs are often programmed with algorithms and artificial intelligence capabilities to adapt to changing conditions and optimize their performance.
An on-board device that can be used to prevent the lifting mechanism from falling suddenly.
The measure of how effectively the available space in a warehouse or logistics facility is utilized to maximize storage and operational efficiency.
AS/RS stands for Automated Storage and Retrieval System, which refers to a computer-controlled system used for automatically storing and retrieving goods or materials from a designated storage area. AS/RS typically consists of racks or shelving units, automated cranes or shuttles, and a central control system. These systems utilize advanced software and hardware components to manage inventory, track locations, and optimize storage and retrieval operations. By automating these processes, AS/RS systems enhance efficiency, accuracy, and space utilization in warehouses or distribution centers.
A structure under the safety fence to withstand the main impact force.
The measure of how effectively and efficiently warehouse equipment, technology, or resources are utilized or put into operation to support various warehouse or logistics operations.
