Hai Robotics has been selected to deploy more than 1,500 HaiPick Climb robots at a new European e-commerce fulfillment center, a project the company describes as the world's largest rack-climbing warehouse robot deployment1,3.
The announcement, dated September 8, 2026, identifies the customer only as a leading European fashion retailer that already operates multiple HaiPick Systems across Europe. The retailer is expanding its existing partnership with Hai Robotics through the new facility, which will be located in the Netherlands.
The facility's published specifications are substantial: a 30,000 m² automated fulfillment operation, 1.2 million double-deep storage locations, and system throughput exceeding 24,000 totes per hour. All 1,500-plus robots will operate within a single integrated automation system using Hai Robotics' HaiPick Climb double-deep configuration, a goods-to-person architecture designed to handle high online order volumes.
Hai Robotics, established in 2016, positions itself as a global leader in Automated Case-handling Mobile Robot (ACR) systems. The company's modular HaiPick Systems combine robotic equipment and software with nearly any industry-standard racking and storage infrastructure.
ANALYSIS The scale of the deployment, more than 1,500 robots in a single facility, is notable for the rack-climbing segment of warehouse robotics, which typically involves robots that ascend storage racks vertically to retrieve and place totes rather than operating solely on the warehouse floor. A 30,000 m² footprint with 1.2 million storage locations and throughput above 24,000 totes per hour places the project among the larger automated fulfillment operations in Europe by disclosed capacity.
The unnamed retailer's decision to expand an existing Hai Robotics relationship, rather than diversify to a competing vendor, suggests operational confidence in the HaiPick platform at scale.
