HAI ROBOTICS SCOOPS INNOVATION AWARD FOR EXISTING PRODUCT

KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 (Bernama) -- Hai Robotics, an intelligent automated warehousing solutions provider, has won the MHI Innovation Award for Best Innovation of an Existing Product for its A42T Autonomous Case-handling Robot (ACR).

In a statement, Hai Robotics said this prestigious award was announced at ProMat 2023, held in Chicago, on March 22.

“This award is a recognition of our team's hard work, dedication and commitment to driving innovation in the industry. We are proud to be at the forefront of intelligent warehouse automation and are committed to delivering advanced solutions that help our customers stay ahead of the game,” said Hai Robotics USA Chief Executive Officer, Brian Zheng.

The MHI Innovation Award recognises Hai Robotics for its groundbreaking work in developing advanced equipment for automated storage and retrieval solutions (ASRS) and recognises the company's commitment to advancing customer success with innovative and cutting-edge technology.

The A42T ACR is the first goods-to-person equipment that extends upward allowing facilities to store items up to 10m (32+ feet) high, while remaining independent of any storage medium.

It is highly intelligent, able to handle most totes or container sizes and types, even cardboard boxes, on standard industry shelving structures.

Comparable systems often require unique and expensive custom precision structures with limited tote options to function, but the A42T ACR is a revolutionary robotic design, freeing facilities of the old rigid ASRS constructs.

This robot provides maximum system flexibility typically seen with AMR or AGV technology while allowing facilities to obtain modern warehouse density with maximum use of vertical storage.

This award is a testament to Hai Robotics’ dedication to excellence and its ability to deliver intelligent automation solutions that help businesses increase efficiency, reduce costs, reduce storage footprint and improve overall productivity.

NARITA AIRPORT BOASTS CHERRY BLOSSOM VIEWING - CHIBA PREFECTURAL GOVERNMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) -- Chiba Prefecture offers various ways to enjoy "hanami" or cherry blossom viewing for tourists visiting Japan during the cherry blossoms season.

Narita International Airport, which is conveniently located in Chiba for overseas visitors to explore the surrounding areas, is one of the unique cherry blossom viewing spots, according to Chiba Prefectural Government in a statement.

Cherry blossoms, known as "sakura" in Japanese, bloom for about one to two weeks from late March to early April in Chiba.

There are three unique sakura spots enabling foreign tourists to embark on cherry blossom adventures namely, Sakura-no-Yama Park, Mobara Park and Kominato Railway.

At Sakura-no-Yama Park, visitors can enjoy close-up views of aeroplanes taking off from and landing at Narita International Airport, best enjoyed lounging under the trees with favourite snacks and drinks.

To explore beyond urban Tokyo on a cherry blossom hunt, Mobara Park is a place to go. The park is dotted with 2,850 cherry trees, which is on Japan's TOP-100 CHERRY BLOSSOM SPOTS list published by the Japan Cherry Blossom Association.

The red-coloured "Benten Bridge" over the pond in the middle of the park, surrounded by pink and white cherry blossoms, offers a great photo opportunity, and visitors can enjoy picnicking and strolling in the park.

Additionally, taking a ride on the Kominato Railway is like a trip through a countryside dream, whereby this local, diesel-powered line connects Ichihara City and Otaki Town and features commanding views along the way.

In spring, "nanohana" (canola) flowers and cherry blossoms are in full view along the railway line. Itabu Station is a popular sightseeing spot for heavily photographed cherry trees and visitors are recommended to start at JR Goi Station for the Kominato Line's first stop for a leisurely journey through Chiba's picturesque spring.
