Digital Intelligence & Full-Chain Collaboration | STORIN Joins ZTO Cloud Warehouse at the 2026 CCFA China Retail Supply Chain Annual Conference

On May 26, 2026, the “2026 China Retail Supply Chain Annual Conference & the 3rd Landmark Famous Products Promotion Fair,” hosted by the China Chain Store & Franchise Association (CCFA), held its grand opening at the Hilton Wuhan Optics Valley. Centered on the theme “Facing the Future,” the event brought together over 1,800 retail decision-makers, supply chain experts, and digital intelligence service providers from across the globe.

STORIN co-exhibited with its strategic partner, ZTO Cloud Warehouse. By presenting a systematic integration of “Intelligent Warehousing + Smart Networks,” the partnership offered a highly valuable practical model for breaking through efficiency boundaries for the retail industry in the era of stock market competition.

I. Strategic Resonance: Building a Closed-Loop Supply Chain of “Decision + Network + Execution”

In today’s business environment, characterized by fragmented consumption channels and real-time demand, traditional linear supply chains struggle to balance response speed with cost control.

At the conference, the joint booth of STORIN and ZTO Cloud Warehouse showcased their core products, illustrating how AI can identify fluctuations in massive amounts of dynamic sales data and drive the self-adaptive adjustment of warehousing networks and automated equipment in real-time.

II. Expert Insights: Deep Deconstruction of Automation and Smart Logistics

During the conference, two keynote speeches from STORIN’s partner brand, Hai Robotics, and ZTO Cloud Warehouse deeply deconstructed the practical paths for digital intelligence transformation through the dimensions of hardware innovation and network reconfiguration.

1. Case-handling Robots Redefine Flexible Warehousing Boundaries

Mr. Dong, from Hai Robotics (a STORIN partner brand), delivered a keynote speech titled “Innovative Application of Case-handling Automated Warehouses in the Retail Industry.”

He noted that facing the challenges of surging retail SKUs and the rising proportion of split-case picking, traditional stacker cranes or manual warehouses struggle to balance space utilization with picking efficiency. The “Case-to-Person” solution provided by STORIN offers retail enterprises a high-density, high-precision, and highly flexible answer. This model not only solves “last-mile” operational bottlenecks but also achieves dynamic inventory management based on real-time sales data.

2. Technological Reconfiguration: Pioneering New Ways of Logistics Fulfillment

Mr. Liu from ZTO Cloud Warehouse, in his speech “Smart Cloud Warehouse—Technological Reconfiguration of New Logistics Fulfillment Methods,” elaborated on the inevitable logic of logistics transitioning from “functionalization” to “technologization.”

Mr. Liu believes that the essence of a Smart Cloud Warehouse is to break down silos between warehousing and distribution using digital means. Leveraging a nationwide distributed warehouse network, ZTO Cloud Warehouse uses technology to achieve optimal inventory distribution and extreme path shortening. By integrating STORIN’s intelligent replenishment model, ZTO Cloud Warehouse provides brands with more accurate pre-positioning solutions, realizing an agile fulfillment system of “production based on sales, and optimized distribution based on inventory.”

III. On-site Highlights: Live Demonstrations of Digital Intelligence Collaboration

At the joint booth located in the core area of the conference, STORIN demonstrated not only its powerful software integration capabilities but also its value as a hub for industry resource integration.

Targeting visiting retail executives, the STORIN team demonstrated how they act as agents for and integrate Hai Robotics’ robotic systems with ZTO Cloud Warehouse’s operational network to implement “software-hardware integrated” solutions. The on-site display screens featured various case videos, intuitively showing how decision-making systems optimize the scheduling frequency of automated equipment and reduce omni-channel fulfillment costs through data correction. These visible and tangible practical solutions received high recognition from on-site CXO-level guests.

IV. Conclusion: Facing the Future, Reshaping the Structural Value of Retail

We firmly believe that the retail winners of the future will be those who can arm their “brains” with digital means, strengthen their “limbs” with automated technology, and extend their “senses” through smart networks. STORIN will continue to uphold the service values of “Integrity, Pragmatism, and Innovation,” striving to be the best partner for retail enterprises’ digital intelligence transformation and creating new heights of efficiency in the stock market era.
