ROMS Announces Revolutionary 3D Automated Storage Warehouse

ROMS Co., Ltd., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has revealed the development of a state-of-the-art 3D automated storage system, driven by their proprietary technology named ROMS Physical AI. This innovative system is designed to address the rising challenges faced in logistics and manufacturing sectors. The public will have the chance to see this model at the International Logistics Expo 2026, where it will be officially premiered on September 8, 2026.

Understanding the Need for Automation

The increasing labor shortage in Japan’s logistics and manufacturing domains, coupled with the critically constrained warehouse space—particularly in urban areas—has necessitated a shift towards automation. ROMS aims to solve these prevalent issues through comprehensive domestic development, covering both hardware and software.

Their approach focuses on seamlessly fitting into existing warehouse environments—adjusting to narrow and uniquely shaped spaces—to eliminate inefficiencies regarding space and operational continuity post-deployment. With the new model, the concept is to ensure that just like it’s standard to have one forklift, it should soon be commonplace to have a robot on-site.

Introducing the New Model: A Fusion of Patent Technology and Unique AI

The new 3D automated storage system is set to redefine operational efficiency. This cutting-edge model combines a single robot capable of movement, lifting, and transportation with ROMS's advanced Physical AI, which optimizes real-time operations of robot fleets. This results in a scalable system that performs reliably, whether starting with just one robot or multiple shelving units.

Key features of this new system include:

• - Patented Hardware Design: Achieving ultra-high-density storage and superior throughput.
• - Innovative Software Solutions: The ROMS Physical AI maximizes movement efficiency, ensuring robots operate seamlessly and continuously, akin to flowing water.

The focus for ROMS isn’t merely on maximizing the speed of a single unit. They emphasize a balance of superior hardware capabilities and intelligent software solutions that enhance the overall operational rate and logistics capacity of the workplace. This approach promises a form of ‘waste-free automation’ that sustains operational dynamics without interruptions. Even in cases where an individual robot encounters issues, there are quick rerouting and recovery protocols to ensure minimal downtime.

There are additional design advantages that ensure these systems reduce wear and tear, promoting long-term reliability in Japanese work environments. The upcoming product marks the first in the ROMS Physical AI platform series, showcasing their commitment to innovation and efficiency.
