A new pallet shuttle deployment with Wuhu Youpai

Wuhu Youpai Co., Ltd., a leading personal care products company, has partnered with ATOMIX to deploy and build an automated high-bay warehouse for its e-commerce business. The company adopted a complete Pallet Shuttle (four-way pallet shuttle) solution that includes 10 pallet shuttles and 5 lifts, giving Wuhu Youpai a flexible intelligent warehouse 15 m tall with 16,000 storage locations, achieving fast, accurate order fulfillment and 6 times the storage location utilization of a flat warehouse. This is the second collaboration between Wuhu Youpai and ATOMIX, following the automated high-bay warehouse for emergency supplies that ATOMIX built for Youpai in 2022.

Wuhu Youpai Co., Ltd. is a personal care company with a history of nearly 20 years. It has set up multiple R&D centers and business branches in China, the United States, Japan and other countries, and has built 4 advanced production bases. Its business covers adult care, pet cleaning, maternal and infant care and many other categories, with outstanding performance in more than 40 countries and regions, including China, the United States and Japan.

In the e-commerce era, Wuhu Youpai fully recognizes the importance and complexity of e-commerce operations. Against this backdrop, the company chose to deploy an automated high-bay warehouse, expecting it to automate and visualize inbound and outbound handling and order picking and to improve the timeliness and accuracy of order fulfillment. At the same time, most personal care products are light, bulky goods: low in weight but large in volume, so each unit takes up considerable storage space, which gives personal care products a strong need for efficient use of warehouse space. Building an automated high-bay warehouse meets the customer's needs for both order fulfillment timeliness and storage locations, helping it better respond to business challenges.

Among many suppliers, Wuhu Youpai ultimately chose ATOMIX's pallet shuttle solution. This was partly because of the prior collaboration and its recognition of the overall strength of the ATOMIX team, and partly because the pallet shuttle system better meets the customer's requirements for storage locations and efficiency. At the same time, flexible equipment of this kind helps the customer better cope with business fluctuations, supports phased investment and deployment, and brings the customer a higher return on investment.
