HAI Robotics is a leading developer of autonomous warehouse robotics, specializing in the world's first Autonomous Case-Handling Robot (ACR) systems like HAIPICK, which deliver goods-to-person automation for totes, cartons, and other items.[1][2][4] The company serves industries including fashion, 3PL, retail, electronics, healthcare, and e-commerce by solving inefficiencies in material handling, storage, and order fulfillment—boosting warehouse efficiency by 3-4 times through intelligent transport, picking, and modular workstations like HaiStation.[1][3][5] With over 1,100 projects deployed globally and annual production of 10,000 robots from its 18,000 sq. m. factory in Dongguan, China, HAI Robotics demonstrates strong growth via subsidiaries in the US, Japan, Singapore, Netherlands, and Hong Kong, supported by 1,000+ staff (over 50% engineers) and 600+ patents.[2][4][5]
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, HAI Robotics emerged from innovative R&D in autonomous robotics, with its flagship HAIPICK ACR system independently developed and launched in 2015—predating the company's formal establishment and quickly earning patents as the industry's first.[1][2] The idea stemmed from addressing warehousing pain points like manual inefficiencies, leading to AI-driven robots that autonomously identify, store, and retrieve cases.[1][6] Early traction came from relentless product refinement and deployments across diverse sectors, evolving into a global operation with subsidiaries serving 30+ countries and scalable manufacturing to meet demand.[2][4]
HAI Robotics rides the surge in warehouse automation driven by e-commerce growth, labor shortages, and AI advancements, timing perfectly with demand for flexible ASRS over rigid traditional systems.[1][4][7] Market forces like rising logistics volumes and supply chain disruptions favor its high-throughput, customizable solutions that handle diverse SKUs across industries, influencing the ecosystem by setting ACR standards—enabling 1,100+ global projects and OEM scalability that lowers barriers for mid-sized warehouses.[2][5] This positions HAI Robotics as a key enabler in the AMR/ASRS shift, promoting denser, smarter facilities amid Industry 4.0 trends.[1][9]
HAI Robotics is poised for expansion with ongoing innovations like HaiPick Climb for simplified efficiency and diversified production to navigate trade dynamics, potentially capturing more market share in booming sectors like e-commerce and 3PL.[2][4][9] Trends in AI optimization, multi-robot orchestration, and hybrid human-AI workflows will amplify its edge, evolving influence toward full end-to-end warehouse orchestration. As a trailblazer reshaping material handling, its ACR legacy will drive sustained efficiency gains in global logistics.[1][7]
HAI ROBOTICS has raised $291.0M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $100.0M Series D in June 2022.
