HAECO has announced its partnership with the Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM), a leading research centre in logistics automation, in implementing Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solutions at HAECO’s maintenance facility in Hong Kong. This collaboration represents a significant leap in technological applications and operational innovation for HAECO, as it leverages robotics automation to boost productivity and efficiency.

The partnership combines HAECO’s extensive aircraft maintenance expertise with LSCM’s recognized R&D capabilities in robotics, automation, and smart logistics to deploy an AMR solution that optimizes material transport within HAECO’s expansive maintenance facility. By enabling the overnight delivery of aircraft tools and parts to maintenance bays, the automation technology will streamline HAECO’s operations and expedite turnaround times for maintenance work the following day.

 “By automating the material delivery process, we enable our maintenance teams to focus on high-value tasks, enhancing both productivity and turnaround times for HAECO,” said Summit Chan, Group Director of Corporate Development at HAECO. “Our partnership with LSCM not only enhances our technological capabilities but also aligns with our vision to support Hong Kong’s innovation and technology ecosystem.”

“LSCM has been dedicated to the development of innovation and technology to enhance the industry’s efficiency and productivity. We are excited to collaborate with HAECO in developing robotics technology to enhance the efficiency of aircraft maintenance work and alleviate the workload of staff. We look forward to our further collaboration in the automation of their maintenance facility, fostering the digitalisation of the industry,” said Simon Wong, Chief Executive Officer, LSCM.
