“We are delighted to be working with John Lewis on this strategically important initiative. It combines all of our key capabilities in one project, solution design, the deployment of our Reflex WES platform in a multi-agent robotic-based automation environment & complete project life cycle support, said Tony Gruber, MD at Logistex. “We look forward to a successful project and an enduring relationship with John Lewis.”
“We are thrilled JLP and Logistex have found the right solution with Hai Robotics' HaiPick, which can reach up to 10 m [32.8 ft.] for picking and storing,” said Damien Skinner, country manager of U.K and Ireland, Hai Robotics. “We look forward to working with them on this project and expanding our partnership.”
“One of the reasons why HaiPick was the right fit for the Logistex solution is because it is highly flexible and suitable to be deployed in existing sites,” Skinner added.
