# LPP's 948-robot hub is real; its output metrics still do not line up Canonical URL: https://www.theroboteconomy.news/articles/lpp-hai-robotics-bucharest-fulfillment/ Publisher: The Robot Economy Editorial byline: Mara Voss, Deployment Desk Published: 2026-07-25T04:11:42.144Z Updated: 2026-07-25T04:11:42.144Z Editorial information: https://www.theroboteconomy.news/about/#editorial-desks A live Romanian fulfillment center combines 948 Hai Robotics machines with warehouse software and sortation. The deployment is proven; its headline throughput measures are not comparable. ## Summary LPP Logistics operates a large automated e-commerce fulfillment center near Bucharest with 948 Hai Robotics machines, dense storage, warehouse-management software and sortation. Current vendor and independent reports establish the deployment and its regional role, while an earlier systems record uses different throughput measures and leaves uptime, intervention, labor and payback unreported. ## Reader context Automated case-handling robot: A warehouse robot that lifts and moves individual totes or cartons to a workstation rather than moving an entire storage rack. Autonomous mobile robot: A mobile warehouse machine that navigates between storage, sortation and work areas with software-directed routes. Warehouse-management system: The software layer that assigns inventory and work, tracks orders and coordinates automated equipment with warehouse processes. ## Key facts - The Bucharest-area facility uses 948 robots: 278 automated case-handling robots and 670 fast-transit companion mobile robots. - The center supports more than 625,000 storage locations and capacity for up to 7.5 million garments and accessories. - PSI Software says the broader site went into operation at the end of October 2025 after warehouse-management integration finished in under 3.5 months. - Public figures cite 9,400 totes per hour, 80,000 orders per day and 14,000 parcels per hour, but do not establish a common measurement basis. - The center serves online orders across Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Hungary for five LPP brands. ## Lead image Image: https://www.theroboteconomy.news/images/articles/lpp-hai-robotics-bucharest-fulfillment.webp Description: Autonomous warehouse robots move apparel totes beside dense storage racks and a conveyor line.

The facility supports LPP's Reserved, Cropp, House, Mohito and Sinsay brands across Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Hungary. Independent Romanian coverage from Profit.ro and Economedia also identifies the site, the fleet and its capacity for up to 7.5 million garments. Sources: [s1]() [s3]() [s4]() This is not a planned pilot. PSI Software's March account says the 65,000-square-metre center went into operation at the end of October 2025, one month earlier than planned, after the warehouse-management system was configured and integrated in less than 3.5 months. The same record describes close to 1,100 robots, sorters and conveyors, 630,000 storage locations, a 7.5-million-item capacity, more than 80,000 orders per day and an outbound sorter rated for up to 14,000 parcels per hour. LPP SA, the parent company, is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, but this is an operating report, not a market call. Sources: [s2]() [s5]() ### The operator read The important deployment is the stack, not the robot count in isolation. LPP is running dense storage, two kinds of mobile robot, warehouse-management software, conveyors and sortation as one regional fulfillment system. That integration boundary is why the site is evidence of an operating warehouse architecture rather than a vendor demonstration: goods, orders, routes and outbound parcels all have to meet the retailer's service workflow. Sources: [s1]() [s2]() But the public performance record still does not line up cleanly. Hai Robotics' new case study cites throughput above 9,400 totes per hour and a deployment completed in under six months. PSI's earlier account cites orders per day and parcels per hour, while also describing the broader center as close to 1,100 robots. Those are different units and system layers, so the numbers cannot be presented as a verified productivity improvement or compared as if they were the same output measure. Sources: [s1]() [s2]() ### What would change the call The deployment is real; its economics remain unproven in public evidence. The next useful record is a common site-level operating log through peak demand: completed orders, tote and parcel throughput, uptime, exception interventions, manual labor hours, maintenance burden, capex and payback. Until LPP, Hai Robotics or the integration partners publish those measures on the same basis, 948 robots show installed capacity and workflow integration, not the return that capacity produces. Sources: [s1]() [s2]() [s3]() [s4]() ## Conclusion The article connects a current fleet-level deployment record to the less visible integration boundary and shows why totes per hour, orders per day and parcels per hour cannot be treated as one productivity series. It identifies the missing site-level log needed to judge operating economics. ## Disclosures Sponsored: no Desk bylines, AI assistance and editorial policies: https://www.theroboteconomy.news/about/ ## Sources - s1: [LPP Logistics Deploys 948 Hai Robotics Robots for E-Commerce Fulfillment in Southeastern Europe]() — Hai Robotics via EIN Presswire; company-announcement; 2026-07-24T11:35:00.000Z - s2: [LPP Logistics successfully implements PSIwms in new e-commerce warehouse in Romania]() — PSI Software SE; company-announcement; 2026-03-03T00:00:00.000Z - s3: [FOTO LPP a adus în România aproape 1.000 de roboți pentru un nou centru de distribuție automatizat]() — Profit.ro; independent-reporting; 2026-07-23T09:42:00.000Z - s4: [Aproape 1.000 de roboți ai companiei chineze Hai Robotics lucrează în centrul logistic LPP de lângă București]() — Economedia; independent-reporting; 2026-07-23T09:22:00.000Z - s5: [Share price performance — LPP SA]() — LPP SA; official-record; 2026-07-25T00:00:00.000Z
