Cainiao Climbing Robots Double 11 Pressure Test at Guangzhou Zengcheng Cat Super
Overview
On the evening of October 20, during the first peak of Alibaba's Double 11 shopping festival, Cainiao's Guangzhou Zengcheng Cat Super Warehouse faced a threefold surge in order volume. The warehouse deployed 135 climbing robots, increasing from a normal 96 units, to operate for seven hours under extreme load. Each robot climbed over 140 kilometers vertically per day, with hourly peaks reaching 11 kilometers. This marked the first major promotional stress test since the project launched in May. The system successfully handled standard-sized consumer goods weighing under 30 kilograms, though final item-level picking remains manual.
