Hai Robotics has announced that its latest innovation, HaiPick Climb, has won the Technology Excellence Award in the General Packaging and Processing category at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025.

Presented by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the annual awards recognize breakthrough technologies that deliver measurable impact for packaging and processing operations. PMMI called HaiPick Climb a “game-changing technology” that solves real-world challenges and advances efficiency across industries.

HaiPick Climb is a new-generation goods-to-person system that makes the benefits of advanced Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) accessible to more warehouses — without the cost or complexity of traditional systems. The solution uses compact climbing robots that mount to just one side of standard warehouse racking to pick and put away inventory, with minimal facility prep required for implementation.

The result is a simplified yet powerful order picking engine with faster deployment, lower cost, and significant performance gains. With HaiPick Climb, warehouses can:

• Deliver totes up to 34% faster than traditional ASRS
• Condense storage footprint by up to 75%
• Scale flexibly as business needs evolve

“Winning the Technology Excellence Award is a testament to how Hai Robotics is redefining what’s possible in warehouse automation — and ultimately driving success for our customers,” said Adrian Stoch, CEO of Americas at Hai Robotics. “With HaiPick Climb, we’re making high-efficiency inventory storage and fulfillment automation accessible to more companies than ever before.”
