Manufacturing engineering firm Chang Industrial and Hai Robotics are partnering to develop new offerings for the North American market. Chang Industrial has built a consortium of engineering and supply chain partners. This includes Hai Robotics, a global provider of intelligent automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). The new partnership aims to improve flexibility and sustainability in manufacturing offerings across North American manufacturing.

Chang Industrial’s goal with Hai Robotics is to optimise all aspects of the North American manufacturing value chain, from concept to execution. The emphasis is on autonomous systems, workforce optimisation, and improved information communication technology deployed across US, Canadian and Mexican manufacturing.

“This partnership allows us to provide the most flexible and cost-effective supply chain technology to our customers and adapt to their changing environment on a real time basis augmented by AI and machine learning. The offerings from Hai Robotics equip the team with stand-alone and mixed fleet capabilities that are integral to Chang Industrial’s successful engineering and programme delivery” said Chris Callura, Vice President of Operations and Strategic Partnerships at Chang Industrial.   Chang Industrial seeks to modernise today’s supply chain and improve workforce performance through creating technology road maps for companies to advance their technology or innovation initiatives and is excited to have Hai Robotics as a key partner in fulfilling these goals. “Hai Robotics is thrilled to collaborate with Chang Industrial to jointly innovate new solutions to automate factories and improve supply chain performance” according to Will McInnis, Technical Sales and Automation Advisor with Hai Robotics. 

In forming the advanced manufacturing consortium, the teams of Chang Industrial and Hai Robotics plan on delivering innovative turnkey solutions for their customers worldwide and developing new business together. As it grows and matures, new partners will be introduced, events will be planned, and capabilities will be enhanced. The goal of the partnership is to eliminate packaging waste and plastic storage from most aspects of the supply chain and operations. Sustainability is the goal and that means more profits for clients and measurable improvements for the environment. In addition to manufacturing, the consortium will target healthcare, food processing, consumer products, retail, and wholesale distribution.

Hai Robotics intelligent automated storage and retrieval systems provide modern storage density, reach up to 32+ feet high, reducing customer’s storage footprints up to 75%. These can produce workflow efficiency gains up to 4x, maximise order pick accuracy to 99.9+%, and improve daily orders fulfilled rate over 170%.

Hai Robotics’ Autonomous Case-handling Robots are designed to maximise the use of vertical space, managing the storage of goods 32+ feet high. Hai Robotics’ ACR solutions are independent of any storage medium, allowing the ASRS to be constructed of almost any industry standard racking structure with most kinds and sizes of bins, trays, cardboard cartons, and a variety of containers and materials.

Chang Industrial is an engineering firm that specialises in advanced manufacturing and disruptive technologies. The company aims to modernise supply chains and improve workforce through creating technology road maps for companies to advance their technology initiatives.
