Pick Climb System
Automated High-Density Storage & Order Picking
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Pick Climb System
The Pick Climb System is a high-efficiency goods-to-person warehouse automation solution for high-density storage. Driven by climber robots moving along guide rails fixed on rack sides, it lowers installation costs and supports fast deployment. Robots travel beneath racks and shuttle between storage bays and picking stations via optimal routes. It can finish order picking within 2 minutes to greatly improve warehouse throughput and space utilization.
DESIGN FACTORS
| Warehouse Building & Floor Conditions | Flat, intact floor. Clear height with safety allowance for racks; no major ground unevenness. |
| Rack & Rail Key Parameters | Standard pallet racks with one-side guide rails. Min. aisle width ≥900 mm; max. rack height 12 m. Tight installation tolerances for rails and racks. Verify rack capacity for double-deep storage. |
| Robot Configuration | Robot quantity defined by throughput simulation; single system max. 3,000 robots. Proper charging zone layout. Optimize aisle design with bidirectional handling to avoid congestion. |
| Workstation Selection & Layout | Choose workstation types based on inbound/outbound ratio. Reserve operator space; keep area under stations clear for robot access. |
| Container Compatibility | Box size and weight to meet robot specs; containers intact without deformation. Higher box consistency required for double-deep storage. |
| Software System | Confirm WMS/ERP interface protocols upfront. Plan order dispatching. Deploy stable network and servers for robot cluster communication and monitoring. |
| Safety Design | Physical barriers and collision detection around robot zones. Safety vests for maintenance personnel and dedicated service aisles for safe human-robot interaction. |
| Retrofit for Existing Warehouses | Check if existing racks can fit guide rails; replace weak racks. Ultra-precise floor levelling not required, but repair pits and expansion joints to avoid robot high-speed vibration. |
ADVANTAGES OF PICK CLIMB SYSTEM
- Simple & User-friendly :Minimal, easy-to-learn warehouse automation solution with fast deployment and flexible scaling;
- Rapid Deployment :Single-side rails lower requirements for racks and floors. Robots can start operation once powered on, shortening project timeline and accelerating ROI;
- Easy Scaling :Add robots or system modules to expand capacity and storage without suspending on-site operations to support business growth;
- Intuitive Operation :The operation is simple and easy to master quickly;
- Space Efficiency : Ultra-high storage density and order fulfilment within a smaller footprint;
- High Throughput : Climbing robots travel under racks and take optimal paths to workstations. A 1,000 ㎡ area achieves 4,000 boxes per hour;
- High-density Storage :Up to 12 m rack height, no cross aisles needed for compact rack layout. 30,000 storage locations available per 1,000 ㎡.
PICK CLIMB SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The Pick Climb System, a goods-to-person climber robot automated storage solution, serves industries requiring high-density carton storage and fast order picking. It adapts to both new warehouses and warehouse retrofits for multiple business scenarios.
Apparel & Textile
Ideal for massive SKU storage. Supports warehouse retrofits, handles seasonal swings and peak promotions. Suits e-commerce retail and store replenishment with split-case picking.
Pharmaceuticals & Small Medical Devices
Enables boxed storage with full inventory traceability to reduce human errors. Suitable for small consumables ≤30 kg.
E-commerce, Cross-border E-commerce & 3PL
Elastic robot capacity copes with fluctuating order volumes. Works for existing warehouse retrofits and fragmented multi-client order fulfilment.

FAQS
Yes. The Pick Climb System uses single-side guide rails with low requirements for floor and rack precision. It is compatible with most standard pallet racks, making warehouse retrofitting simple and cost-effective.
A single system supports up to 3,000 robots and can achieve 30,000 storage locations within 1,000 ㎡ warehouse space.
Cartons can arrive at workstations within 2 minutes. It is 34% faster than traditional AS/RS systems, delivering throughput up to 4,000 boxes per hour in a 1,000 ㎡ area.
No. It adopts simple modular plug-and-play design. You can add robots or racks freely without shutting down ongoing warehouse operations.
Physical barriers are installed around robot working zones together with collision detection function. Operators wear safety vests. Robots can detect nearby personnel and automatically slow down, reroute or stop to enable safe maintenance and warehouse cleaning.
It delivers picking accuracy above 99%, 4 times higher efficiency and 3 times daily throughput. It eliminates long-distance walking for pickers, reduces labour intensity and helps solve warehouse labour shortage issues.
