Libiao Robotics, a supplier of warehouse robotics automation solutions, has been awarded a 2025 RBR50 Innovation Award, given annually by the Robot Business Review to recognise innovation in the mobile robotics industry. Libiao won the accolade for the implementation of its flagship AirRob automated warehouse storage and retrieval system at the Chinese NDC of its customer Skechers.
AirRob by Libiao Robotics is a groundbreaking warehouse automation system that offers high goods transit speeds and industry-leading storage density. The AirRob system is aimed at businesses with intensive logistics operations such as e-commerce, footwear & apparel, cosmetics & pharmaceuticals, as well as manufacturers requiring intensive storage of production parts.
Skechers, the global footwear brand, deploys AirRob at its Taicang Distribution Centre, which supplies replenishment stock to 400 retail outlets as well as servicing eCommerce consumers across China. The implementation of Libiao’s AirRob system has yielded significant benefits for its customer. By automating the entire area, manual handling and temporary storage space have been drastically reduced, resulting in a 50% saving in storage space and a greatly improved throughput rate. This has led not only to a reduction in labour costs and an improvement in the work environment but has also considerably enhanced overall operational efficiency.
“Original and Best”
“We are deeply honoured to receive this prestigious RBR50 award for AirRob alongside our long-standing customer Skechers,” said Xia Huiling, CEO of Libiao Robotics. “Whilst we have seen various versions of AirRob being hurried to the market by our competitors recently, this award is recognition that AirRob is the original and the best. It has come at exactly the right time for us, as we rollout the technology globally to customers seeking a tried-and-tested automated warehouse storage system to optimise their warehouse operations.”
“Libiao Robotics’ deployment with Skechers is a strong endorsement of its technology, showcasing how its automation solutions meet the demands of a major global brand,” said Steve Crowe, executive editor, robotics, of WTWH Media. “We look forward to celebrating Libiao and all RBR50 winners at the RBR50 Gala during the Robotics Summit & Expo!”
