This partnership will enable both companies to deliver innovative solutions that optimise warehouse operations, increase productivity, and enhance overall efficiency.

By combining the deep industry knowledge Logistex has with Hai Robotics’ innovative robotics capabilities, the partnership will address the evolving needs of modern warehouses seeking intelligent and flexible automation solutions. The integration of Hai Robotics’ ACRs into the Logistex comprehensive material handling solutions will enable seamless and efficient movement of goods, streamlining processes, and reducing operational costs.

Through this partnership, Logistex and Hai Robotics aim to offer their customers enhanced operational agility, scalability, and adaptability. The joint solutions will empower businesses to optimise their supply chain, improve order fulfilment accuracy, and meet the ever-increasing demands of e-commerce and omnichannel distribution.

Tony Gruber, Managing Director of Logistex, said: “I am delighted that having previously secured our first order which includes a HAI Robotics ACR goods to person picking solution with a prestigious UK retailer, we have now signed a partnership agreement with HAI Robotics. This is a significant step in achieving our strategic vision of becoming the leading UK provider of integrated robotic solutions in our class.

“As an independent systems integrator we are constantly looking to work with innovative technology partners. HAI Robotics commitment to developing their class leading telescopic ACRs strengthens the portfolio of integrated automated solutions that Logistex can provide to our current and future customers.”

Damien Skinner, Country Manager UK & Ireland of Hai Robotics, added: “We’re excited to join forces with Logistex, aiding them in their journey to be the top integrated robotics solutions provider in the UK. Through our collaboration, Logistex’s expansive network will gain access to Hai Robotics’ innovative ACR goods-to-person picking systems, notably our acclaimed telescopic ACR, the HaiPick A42T, capable of a 10m reach for picking and storage tasks.

“Our adaptable, growth-ready goods-to-person solution will seamlessly serve the diverse warehousing demands of Logistex’s partners. The initial ACR order from a renowned UK retailer is a testament to our system’s alignment with modern industry needs, and we’re eager to work hand in hand with Logistex for the successful execution of this initiative.”
