World's First Box-Stacking Robot CSR and System SRS

Problem and implemented solution

The Chinese warehouse industry faces rising labor costs exceeding 4 trillion RMB annually, highlighting the need for improved logistics efficiency. The market for intelligent warehousing was valued at 114.6 billion RMB in 2021 and is projected to reach 266.5 billion RMB by 2026, driven by advancements in technology and demand for cost reduction. However, current automation solutions are costly and inflexible, struggling to adapt to fluctuating order volumes. Traditional box-picking methods rely heavily on manual labor, with existing robots unable to efficiently handle high-position box picking. There is a pressing need for standardized box-stacking robots that can optimize outbound operations while ensuring a return on investment within 1-3 years.
