The challenge

What operators are up against

Space-constrained warehouses must carry more SKUs while meeting short order cutoffs and variable daily demand. Manual travel between tall racks and workstations slows each pick and adds handling. Fixed automation can demand major building changes, leaving operators with a gap between needed density and practical deployment. Missed cutoffs delay shipments, consume floor space, and make peak staffing harder to control.

The solution

How Compact Tote ASRS Fulfillment addresses it

Compact Tote ASRS Fulfillment uses rack-climbing robots, narrow aisles, workstations, and HaiQ orchestration to store and retrieve totes. Operators receive sequenced inventory at the workstation while the software assigns robot paths and order priorities, closing the gap between dense storage and practical deployment. Real-time status shows queues, robot health, and station demand so supervisors can adjust workflows before order delays accumulate.

How it works

Warehouse orders enter HaiQ from the local warehouse software. HaiQ maps each requested SKU to its tote location, groups compatible work, and assigns a nearby HaiClimber over facility Wi-Fi. The robot travels beneath the rack, climbs to the target level, extracts the tote, and carries it to the configured workstation. Operators follow screen-directed picks or handle full cases, while HaiQ monitors queues, robot health, storage positions, and order progress before returning inventory to an optimized location.

SenseHaiClimber robots use onboard navigation and tote-handling sensors within narrow aisles and high-bay warehouse racks.
ConnectRobots exchange task, position, and health data over facility Wi-Fi with the on-premises HaiQ control platform.
AnalyzeHaiQ groups orders, prioritizes tote moves, optimizes storage slots and robot paths, and displays system bottlenecks.
ActRobots retrieve assigned totes and deliver them to workstations so operators complete picks with less travel and handling.

Why teams choose it

Denser Storage: Narrow aisles and vertical racking place more tote inventory in the existing footprint.

Faster Fulfillment: Automated retrieval reduces walking and shortens the path from storage to picking.

Easier Expansion: Modular equipment lets capacity grow with order volume and SKU count.

Lower Handling: Goods arrive at workstations, reducing repeated lifting and manual tote movement.

Rack-Climbing Retrieval

Mobile robots travel below and within racks to reach totes across vertical storage.

Dynamic Order Grouping

HaiQ groups compatible orders and prioritizes work as warehouse demand changes.

Optimized Tote Slotting

Frequently requested inventory is positioned closer to workstations for quicker access.

Configurable Workstations

Piece-pick, full-case, tray, and conveyor interfaces support different workflows.

Real-Time Robot Routing

Task assignments and paths adapt to robot location, workload, and active queues.

Modular Capacity Growth

Operators can add robots, racks, or stations without replacing the core system.
