Libiao Robotics, a pioneer in the warehouse automation sector, demonstrated its cutting-edge technology at the LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart. Alongside its acclaimed AirRob system, it showed its new AirRob PRO goods-to-person automated warehouse system to visitors.
AirRob is a high-density, high-efficiency warehouse automation system that uses coordinated vertical-climbing pick robots and floorbots to deliver goods rapidly to workstations, without requiring major infrastructure changes. Designed for intensive logistics operations, AirRob significantly increases storage capacity and throughput while reducing labour and energy costs, setting a high benchmark for scalable goods-to-person automation.
Widely deployed across multiple sites in Asia, AirRob by Libiao Robotics is now being specified in Europe at warehouses where labour availability is challenging and where high per-square-metre warehouse costs favour a compact, flexible and highly-efficient solution.
Visitors to Libiao Robotics’ booth will also get a chance to see at close quarters the new AirRob PRO automated system in action. AirRob PRO has been developed to offer fast, efficient and accurate handling of both original ‘raw’ cartons as well as totes, avoiding the time- and resource-consuming decanting of incoming/outgoing goods. Uniquely, the picking arm mounted on the AirRob climbing platform at the heart of the system pivots so that cartons and totes can be picked or dropped on both sides of the warehouse aisle, thus reducing the required number of workstations and in some cases eliminating them altogether.
Libiao’s local sales and technical support personnel were joined by representatives from the company’s senior management team in Stuttgart to greet visitors and demonstrate how its innovative solutions can help warehouse owners and operators make significant efficiency gains to operations where accuracy, reliability and flexibility are among the leading requirements.
Libiao’s Global Head of Sales Ronan Shen said: “Now that AirRob is becoming firmly established in Europe, and customers are seeing the significant benefits it brings, it is a perfect time for us to be at LogiMAT to talk with visitors about the many ways we can help them become more competitive. I’m particularly excited about demonstrating AirRob PRO, which has been developed in close consultation with customers with high-throughput operations who need to efficiently and accurately pick a mix of cartons and totes.”
Established in 2016, and celebrating its 10th anniversary later this year, Libiao Robotics has grown to become a leading player in the global warehouse robotics sector, boasting household name customers across Asia, Europe, Australia and South America, and familiar U.S. brands such as Skechers, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and K-mart.
