Deployment story
Walker S Lite’s three-week tote-handling trial at Zeekr
UBTECH documents an earlier S Lite warehouse phase, distinct from the later Walker S1 fleet training in Ningbo.
UBTECH's industrial application case names Walker S Lite in Zeekr's smart warehouse. The robot underwent three weeks of training at a CTU loading workstation, handling parcel totes within the warehouse workflow.
The model distinction matters. This trial should not be merged into the separate Walker S1 fleet story or treated as proof that both models achieved the same performance. Zeekr's Ningbo plant is identified in the wider filed manufacturing account; the exact warehouse coordinates remain unverified.
Tote handling offers a constrained way to evaluate grasping, balance and handoff to existing storage automation. The supplier publishes the training duration but no loaded-tote cycle time, success denominator or staffing requirement. This record captures the completed training phase rather than implying a permanent warehouse fleet. Whether it progressed to regular operation remains an evidence gap.
