In a move to further enhance its materials management capabilities, HAECO is expanding its robotic warehouse solution in Hong Kong with the introduction of seven new robots and over 4,000 totes in Q3 2024. Managed by an in-house warehouse application, this cutting-edge robotics system provides a user-friendly interface and more efficient storage management.
Just over a year after the rollout of the initial phase with six robots, HAECO has already seen substantial improvements in the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of its materials handling.
“With a maximum throughput of 170 totes per hour for the expanded phase two system, we would be able to cater to the demands of both its base maintenance and line maintenance teams, even during peak operating periods,” said Jack Lau, General Manager of Material Management.
The implementation of this second phase represents another significant stride in HAECO's embrace of digital transformation to drive operational efficiency.
“We remain committed to actively exploring the potential of robotic solutions and other innovative technologies to enhance its performance and better serve our valued customers,” he added.
