HaiPick Climb will support a high-volume goods-to-person operation for the unnamed fashion retailer
Hai Robotics is preparing to deploy more than 1,500 rack-climbing robots at a new European fashion fulfilment centre in what the company says will be the world’s largest system of its kind.
The automation specialist has been selected to provide technology for a large-scale e-commerce facility operated by an unnamed leading European fashion retailer.
At the centre of the project will be the company’s HaiPick Climb system, which is designed to move goods within high-density warehouse racking and deliver them to picking stations.
Hai Robotics said the installation will involve more than 1,500 HaiPick Climb robots operating as part of a single integrated system.
The retailer already uses several HaiPick systems across Europe and is now expanding its relationship with the robotics company as online order volumes continue to grow.
The new facility will use a goods-to-person model, with robots bringing stock directly to warehouse workers rather than requiring staff to travel through storage aisles to retrieve items.
Hai Robotics said the deployment will use double-deep storage systems, allowing the retailer to increase storage density while maintaining the throughput required for high-volume e-commerce and omnichannel fulfilment.
The company described the project as the “world’s largest rack-climbing warehouse robot deployment”.
It said bringing more than 1,500 robots together within one operation would demonstrate the ability of the technology to work at enterprise scale while retaining flexibility and operational efficiency.
The project will use an upgraded version of HaiPick Climb, with the system designed to maximise warehouse capacity while supporting the speed needed for large volumes of online orders.
Hai Robotics said the installation would further expand its presence in European fashion and e-commerce logistics, where retailers are increasingly turning to automation to handle growing fulfilment demands.
The company added that the project sets “a new benchmark for warehouse automation” and strengthens the role of HaiPick Climb in large-scale fulfilment operations.
