BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, Oct. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WINIT, a China-based cross-border e-commerce warehousing operator, added 100 HAI Robotics robots to their facility in the UK and improved their workflow efficiencies 3-4 times over their previously manual operations, compressed storage density by 60%, increased picking efficiency by 50%, and perfected their on-time order delivery to near 100%.
WINIT’s Challenge:
WINIT is a Shanghai-based provider of full warehousing and logistical solutions for cross-border e-commerce that serves the United States, Australia, and several European countries. The total size of its warehouses around the world exceeds 399,000 square meters (over 4,300,000 square feet). In the UK alone, WINIT runs 3 warehouses with the total combined footprint reaching 51,000 square meters (over 164,000 square feet).
The UK facility in Tamworth, Staffordshire, a town near Birmingham in central UK, was confronted with expanding challenges as the demand for global warehousing services surged dramatically due to the growth of cross-border e-commerce businesses in the past two years. Statistics indicate that in 2021, Chinese cross-border trade volume amounted to ¥1.98 trillion yuan (around $283.37 billion dollars), up 15% compared to the year before, and this volume is expected to reach ¥2.5 trillion yuan (around $357.66 billion dollars) by 2025, according to figures released by China last year.
WINIT also needed to address challenges of managing a vast number of SKUs which increased the need for warehouse storage density and order-picking efficiency. To successfully address this, in 2021 WINIT turned to HAI ROBOTICS to automate its order-fulfillment center operations.
Workflow Solution:
HAI ROBOTICS, the industry leader and trailblazer of Autonomous Case-picking Robotic (ACR) systems, created and implemented an automated solution for WINIT that increased their storage density, automated material handling workflows for maximum efficiency, and improved storage volume.
100 robots were deployed in WINIT’s Tamworth, UK warehouse. These tall autonomous robots driven by AI algorithms walk smoothly through the 10,000 square meters (around 108,000 …
