The leader in autonomous case-handling mobile robotics system, Hai Robotics, is celebrating its 4th year anniversary. The company has grown from a small startup to a company with services on 5 continents. 

4th Year Anniversary

2020 was a special year where the company achieved significant milestones. Amid the pandemic, big challenges put a major strain on the entire supply chain industry. Robotics automation has played an unprecedented role in the industry, allowing companies such as Hai Robotics to expand their business rapidly.

The Finance of Hai Robotics

In only 4 years, Hai Robotics has grown from a small startup to a large company with over 300 employees. Backed with investment from Prof. Zexiang Li, Chairman of DJI (2016), the company completed a series B round of financing in September 2020 led by Source Code Capital, with participation from existing investors Walden International and 01VC. 

With the series A round from Walden International and Best Logistics completed last year, the total amount of two financing rounds exceeded USD 14.66 million (RMB 100 million). It is estimated that the company's revenue in 2020 will be 15 times higher than the previous year.

Recently Hai Robotics was featured as one of the "Most Promising Startups by The Information," based on current revenue, business model, and growth prospects. With more than 70 ongoing projects worldwide in various industries and more than 500 robots deployed to date, the company has successfully expanded its business and services across 5 continents. 

Headquartered in Shenzhen, the company opened four offices this year in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Tokyo. In addition, it is working with partners worldwide, providing one-stop services that include project planning, system integration, manufacturing, deployment, cutover, and customer service.
