Geekplus has announced the deployment of moving-type Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) at several Toyota Motor Corporation plants in Japan.
Currently, 436 Geekplus moving-type AMRs are operating in Toyota Motor Corporation’s factories, with operations scaled up to approximately 200 units per system.
Geekplus moving-type AMRs were selected for their flexible system design, enabling versatile operations, and their ability to significantly reduce the physical workload of on-site staff.
The deployment of moving-type AMRs supports the unmanned movement of goods across various stages, from inbound receiving to picking and processing areas.
By replacing manual transport tasks previously performed by personnel, the AMRs contribute to labour savings and productivity improvements.
Furthermore, they help create a safer workplace by reducing the risks associated with the intersection of forklifts and towing vehicles.
Geekplus provides ongoing support by sharing operational know-how and providing maintenance education to ensure that on-site personnel can utilise automation equipment safely and effectively.
Geekplus Japan CEO, Hirokazu Kato, said: “We are deeply honored to contribute to the logistics efficiency of Toyota Motor Corporation, a leader in Japanese manufacturing.
“We take great pride in knowing that our flexible system design and engineering capabilities have been recognised.
“It is a privilege to see our solutions contribute to productivity improvements while creating a better working environment for the truck drivers and on-site staff who support these operations.
“We will continue to provide support through our cutting-edge solutions and technological expertise.”
