We are pleased to announce that we have decided to introduce the system to Takeki’s Kawagoe distribution center. Actual operation is scheduled to begin in November 2024.
■* From demonstration experiment to actual operation – Aiming to increase production and spread of AutoFork after 2025*
AutoFork is an automatic forklift truck developed with the concept of “ready to use on site after delivery,” and supports automation and efficiency in the logistics industry. Hakuoh Robotics implemented automatic pallet recognition and automatic transportation at Tokyo Logifactory’s Kawagoe Logistics Center in February 2024, and automatic elevator coordination at the Sayama Hidaka Logistics Center in June of the same year.
We have conducted demonstration experiments. This time, it will be used in the logistics operations of Tokyo Logi Factory, Hakuoh Robotics’ first commercial user. Starting with this start of actual operation, we aim to further increase production and spread the technology from 2025 onwards.
In addition, the International Logistics Exhibition will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 10th to 13th, 2024.
We plan to demonstrate AutoFork in 2024. You can actually check its performance at the exhibition hall. (Booth number: Higashi 2-104) ■* About automatic forklift truck AutoFork*
