Autonomous Case-handling Mobile Robot
High-density goods-to-person robot for totes & cartons.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Autonomous Case-handling Robot system
Autonomous Case-handling Robot (ACR) is a goods-to-person robotic warehouse system for carton and bin handling. It integrates mobile storage robots, warehouse management platform, multi-functional workstations and modular racking. This ACR automation system completes storage, retrieval, transport and order picking. It supports both new warehouse construction and existing warehouse retrofits, cutting labor costs and raising order throughput for retail, manufacturing and 3PL businesses.
DESIGN FACTORS
| Warehouse conditions | Robot and rack selection depends on ceiling height, floor flatness, aisle width and warehouse layout for ACR robotic system deployment. |
| Business needs | System capacity and expansion plans are defined by product specifications, order volume, throughput targets and future scaling requirements. |
| Software & integration | Supports interface adaptation, full data traceability, multi-language support and seamless connection with existing WMS/ERP systems. |
| Cost & delivery | We validate automated warehouse solutions via simulation tools according to budget, project timeline and site construction schedule. |
| Environment & compliance | The system accounts for temperature, humidity, dust, ESD protection and local industrial safety compliance requirements. |
ADVANTAGES OF ACRs
- High-density storage: Vertical storage height up to 12 m, maximizes existing warehouse cubic capacity without expanding building footprint.
- High throughput: Batch picking up to 9 cartons per robot run to speed order fulfillment.
- Broad compatibility: Handles both plastic bins and cartons in one system. Ideal for mixed inventory warehouses like electronics & apparel, no need for separate automated machines.
- High accuracy: Picking accuracy over 99%. Cut picking errors and product returns, saving reshipping & after-sales cost for omnichannel 3PL.
- Easy integration: Open interfaces connect with your existing WMS/WES. No need to replace current warehouse software, skip costly full system upgrades for manufacturers.
- Safe & human-friendly: Multi-layer sensors + emergency stop, supports unmanned cold storage.Reduce staff injury risks; unmanned cold rooms lower heavy labor workload for food & pharma cold chain.
APPLICATIONS
Our ACR autonomous case-handling robotic system delivers goods-to-person automation for multiple industries. It optimizes order picking, storage density and warehouse throughput for distribution centers across retail, manufacturing and third-party logistics.
Apparel & retail :
handles massive SKU volumes, supporting both 2B store replenishment and 2C e-commerce split-picking ;
3C & manufacturing :
integrated production-warehousing: raw material, line-side, semi-finished, and finished goods warehouses with automatic material delivery to production lines;
Cross-border e-commerce & 3PL :
many SKUs, volatile order volumes, and cross-border batch management.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Our ACR goods-to-person robotic warehouse system is composed of six core parts: storage robots, smart charging stations, warehouse racking, Containers，workstations, warehouse management platform. These components cooperate to realize automated storage and efficient order picking.
Storage robots :
different models handle bin access/climbing at various heights, manufacturing material handling, and high-speed transfer;
Smart charging stations :
fast/full charging with multi-layer electrical protection for 24/7 operation;
Racks :
single-, double-, and triple-deep racking ;
Containers :
multiple bin sizes and cartons ;
Workstations :
conveyor stations, direct person-picking stations, and Port picking stations for human-robot interaction ;
Warehouse management platform :
integrates warehouse execution, equipment scheduling, and a data platform, supporting order processing, large-scale robot fleet scheduling, and data visualization for full digital control.
FAQS
Yes. The system supports warehouse retrofits and can be deployed in phases without interrupting current operations. Floor flatness must meet robot tolerance requirements, and ceiling height determines robot model selection.
The ACR system works with bins, cartons, trays, overflow boxes and tooling containers. Different robot models are available to match varying container sizes and weight limits.
Yes. An optional low-temperature picking module enables stable operation at -20°C, supporting unmanned cold-storage warehouse operations to cut energy consumption and reduce labor costs.
The ACR platform provides business-layer and control-layer APIs for seamless integration with your upper-level business systems. WES handles order processing while ESS manages equipment scheduling, fully decoupling business logic from hardware control. It includes multi-language support, data encryption and hot backup.
There are two main scaling methods: ① add more robots to directly increase order throughput; ② expand hardware including racks and workstations. System expansion will not interrupt your on-site warehouse operations.
Yes. The ACR system supports mixed-order operations, processing B2B full-case replenishment for stores and B2C split picking for e-commerce individual orders at the same time. It can pick small, large and irregular items within one workstation.
