Recently, the first intelligent constant-temperature stereoscopic warehouse project in Central China for the biotechnology and nutrition health industry, undertaken by Wuhan HG Cyber Data System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HG Cyber"), for Cabio Biotech (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Cabio"), successfully passed project acceptance in May 2023 thanks to joint efforts from both parties.
Cabio is the first technology innovation company in the food biotechnology sector listed on China’s STAR Market. It specializes in the R&D, production, and sales of bio-synthesized nutritional products including ARA (Arachidonic Acid), algal oil DHA and SA, and natural β-carotene. These bio-nutritional products are highly sensitive and require precise humidity and temperature control, making warehouse and logistics upgrades a top priority.
The Cabio intelligent constant-temperature warehouse project officially launched in September 2021 and went online in March 2023. Throughout the project, both parties collaborated closely to overcome multiple technical challenges, laying a solid foundation for its successful acceptance.
This project involves multiple types of dense storage areas, including a 1,800㎡ cold storage on the first floor, 1,530㎡ freezer and 1,530㎡ cool storage on the second floor, as well as powder cold storage and temperature-rising dehumidifying rooms. With a usable height of 10 meters and seismic resistance of level 7, it handles around 10 tons of finished products per day. Due to the variety, irregularity, fragility, and stringent quality control of raw materials, the project posed significant design and implementation challenges.
Following extensive pre-project research, we adopted the design concepts of "human-machine collaboration, informatization, labor saving, precision, transparency, and traceability" and the approach of "flexible design, demand-driven investment, and ROI maximization." HG Cyber introduced various intelligent logistics equipment to provide an integrated solution for automated storage, supply, pallet return, palletizing, and sorting across the cold, cool, freezer, powder, and dehumidification zones. This enabled Cabio to improve operational efficiency, reduce inventory backlog, enhance warehouse management, and ease manual labor intensity as part of its digital transformation goals.
Cabio Intelligent Warehousing & Logistics Solution
Labor-saving Inbound Process
Various conveyors, organizing systems, and palletizing robots work in coordination to handle multi-variety and high-volume unloading and storage operations, enabling unmanned inbound processing for semi-finished products—saving labor, time, and effort.
Multi-Type Warehouse Diversified Management
The solution integrates pallet four-way shuttles, AGVs, pallet lifts, and other automated equipment. Materials are sorted and directed based on storage standards to designated zones such as cold, cool, freezer, powder, and dehumidification storage, with full automation across all transfer stages.
High Scalability
AGVs are used for outbound handling, enabling seamless collaboration between in-warehouse and external robots. This supports picking for semi-finished production lines and ensures expandability for future operations.
Advanced Information System
The WMS system covers inbound/outbound operations, warehouse transfers, and virtual warehouse management, integrating functions such as batch tracking, material matching, inventory checks, quality inspection, and real-time inventory monitoring. This supports comprehensive digital management of warehouse information.
Project Highlights
The project offers over 3,700 storage locations and is equipped with lifts, four-way shuttles, two-way shuttles, stacker cranes, robotic palletizers/de-palletizers, automatic strapping/unstrapping machines, and coordinated AGVs for automatic in-out handling and pallet return. The entire system supports fully automated and unmanned warehouse operations with material zoning.
The solution integrates modular and automated transportation equipment with diverse information systems to achieve automated, flexible sorting and fine-grained, transparent, traceable inbound/outbound processes for raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products. All logistics operations—receiving, issuing, preparing, returning, transferring, storing—are automatically recorded and managed. It ensures precise item-location management, FIFO enforcement, expiration warnings, and inactive stock analysis, achieving improved operational efficiency, reduced inventory backlog, and elevated warehouse management capabilities while reducing manual fatigue.
