Supply chain transformation: Hai Robotics deploys automation tech in L'Oréal China's first SMART Fulfillment Centre

Hai Robotics has announced the inauguration of L'Oréal's SMART Fulfillment Centre in Suzhou, China.

Located inside Suzhou Industrial Park and with an area of 46,000 square metres, this houses Hai's goods-to-person solution, HaiPick System 1, including 39 HaiPick A42 Multi-Layer Autonomous Case-handling Mobile Robots (ACR), as well as HaiPort and conveyor picking workstations.

The facility will be a key hub in the beauty brand's handling of D2C and B2B orders in Mainland China.

L'Oréal says that it is now able to handle orders with elevated flexibility, efficiency and scalability, without compromising on intelligence and sustainability for its supply chain operations.

"We are delighted to be a part of L'Oréal's warehousing journey by supporting them with our ACR and goods-to-person technology. This marks a key moment in our partnership," says Richie Chen, Founder and CEO at Hai Robotics.

"This new fulfilment centre will facilitate supply chain transformation by improving operational efficiency, storage density and flexibility in tackling orders, ultimately elevating the experience for our customers who desire speed and convenience.”

“We are proud to support L'Oréal in achieving their broader business objectives, and look forward to what the future has to bring."
