On July 18th, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026), Kejie, the intelligent supply chain brand under DC HOLDINGS (00861), and Daka Robotics held a signing ceremony for a strategic cooperation agreement. The ceremony was attended by Kejie's CTO Zhang Hupo and Vice President Yan Feng, alongside Daka Robotics' CEO Wang Kun and CTO Xu Wenqiang.
The collaboration will focus on opening real-world logistics scenarios, integrating technologies, conducting joint validation, and promoting commercialization. The goal is to advance embodied AI from a technical demonstration to replicable logistics and warehousing solutions. As per the agreement, Kejie will open its nationwide network of warehousing, sorting, and transportation business scenarios, providing interfaces to systems like OMS, WMS, and TMS. These will serve as priority environments for Daka Robotics' training, testing, and deployment.
Kejie currently manages close to 200 warehouses, with a total storage area approaching 1 million square meters. Its peak daily order processing capacity reaches 5 million orders, with an inventory management accuracy rate of 99.95%. Leveraging over two decades of supply chain operational experience and standardized SOPs, Kejie will participate in optimizing warehouse flow paths, order fulfillment rules, equipment scheduling, and human-machine collaboration to help the robots adapt to real business environments.
On the technology integration front, Daka Robotics will provide its embodied AI models and robotic products. The partnership aims to integrate the entire chain of perception, cognition, and action, fostering deep convergence between the robot hardware, intelligent models, supply chain systems, and operational workflows. A joint innovation task force will be established to conduct Proof-of-Concept (POC) validation around scenarios like sorting, exploring Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) business models such as per-piece or per-warehouse pricing. The plan is to achieve a certain scale of application for the solutions within the next year.
Furthermore, the partners will co-create a "Embodied AI + Logistics" joint brand and release collaborative white papers and benchmark case studies.
The day before the official signing, Kejie and Daka Robotics jointly unveiled a real-world video demonstration of embodied AI multi-robot cluster operations for a complete logistics warehousing picking process at WAIC. Multiple robots collaboratively operated within Kejie's Tianjin Wuqing warehouse, completing the full workflow from order reception and task generation to path planning, item recognition and grasping, and sorting cart repositioning.
This demonstration broke through several traditional bottlenecks in logistics automation implementation. It achieved true autonomous multi-model coordination through a unified intelligent hub, fundamentally addressing long-standing pain points like chaotic equipment scheduling, operational congestion, and fragmented system information in traditional warehouses. Simultaneously, it overcame the limitation of traditional automation equipment being suitable only for standardized, flat-surface operations, covering the entire flexible workflow for sorting items of various sizes. This approach allows for rapid deployment without requiring extensive hardware modifications to older warehouses.
This achievement laid the groundwork for the partnership to transition from "scenario co-creation" to "solution co-building." During prior joint training sessions, the teams continuously refined solutions for challenges like long corridor positioning, rack heights, SKU count and packaging variations, multi-robot collision avoidance, and sorting cart management. The robots matched grasping plans based on order information and on-site recognition results, with system scheduling handling path planning and task coordination. The real order processes, workflow paths, and on-site feedback provided by Kejie were instrumental in advancing the robots from merely "being able to run" to "being able to operate stably."
This partnership with Daka Robotics to introduce embodied AI represents another leap forward for Kejie in its pursuit of "operational terminal intelligence." It marks an upgrade from the programmed movement of AGVs to intelligent agents possessing perception, decision-making, and autonomous action capabilities. This shift frees employees from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus more on high-value work like business judgment, exception handling, and quality control. It also enables intelligent equipment of different brands and types to collaborate under a unified scheduling system, gradually building a data-driven, multi-device interconnected intelligent warehousing operations network.
Using real business scenarios as its testing ground and its over 20 years of industry expertise as its foundation, Kejie is steadily advancing embodied AI from single-point validation to replicable, scalable supply chain solutions. This collaboration is not only a significant practice of Kejie's "Client + Ecosystem" dual-drive strategy but also marks a crucial step in the logistics industry's transformation from labor-intensive to technology-intensive operations.
Moving forward, Kejie will continue to build upon real-world scenarios, driving the evolution of logistics warehousing from single-point automation to multi-robot cluster collaboration, aiming to construct safe, efficient, and flexible modern supply chain solutions for its clients.
