Revolutionizing Heavy Cargo Transport: RoboCar® Tractor 25T
In a groundbreaking development for the logistics and transport industry, ROBO-HI Corporation, in collaboration with the Marubeni Corporation, has successfully implemented the RoboCar® Tractor 25T, an autonomous towing tractor, at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport). This innovative vehicle is a significant leap in automated cargo transportation, offering Level 4 autonomy. Building on this success, ROBO-HI is now actively seeking sales partner companies nationwide to expand its cutting-edge solutions beyond airports, targeting large-scale logistics in factories and ports.
The Need for Automation in Heavy Cargo Transport
As the logistics and manufacturing sectors face acute labor shortages, the automation of light to medium load transport, such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), has become increasingly common. However, the transportation of super-heavy loads, ranging from 5 to 30 tons—such as steel, construction materials, and shipping containers—remains largely unexplored. This gap is primarily due to challenges involving durability under heavy loads, safety during transport, and the complexity of operational management.
To tackle this critical issue, ROBO-HI has utilized its seven years of experience in conducting effective demonstrations of autonomous cargo transport at airports, where the RoboCar® Tractor 25T was developed specifically for the super-heavy load segment.
Advantages of RoboCar® Tractor 25T
1.
Heavy Load Capacity: With a transport capability of up to 25 tons, the RoboCar® Tractor meets the critical needs for transporting large molds, steel materials, and shipping containers that traditional AGVs and AMRs cannot handle.
2.
Reliability in Autonomous Operations: The vehicle boasts a proven track record of seven years of successful unmanned operations, adhering to national safety standards, which assures its high reliability in adverse conditions.
3.
Integration with Multi-Vendor Platforms: Equipped with the ROBO-HI® OS platform, the RoboCar® Tractor facilitates smooth integration with robots from various manufacturers, enhancing the operational efficiency and management of logistics facilities.
Seeking Partners for Nationwide Expansion
ROBO-HI is now looking to collaborate with robust partner companies to introduce the RoboCar® Tractor 25T into various sectors, offering immense potential for businesses involved in heavy cargo management. Some of the anticipated partners include:
- - Warehousing and logistics firms dealing with steel materials.
- - Companies specializing in the warehousing and transport of construction materials.
- - Businesses focusing on mold manufacturing and logistics.
- - Heavy machinery and equipment storage and transport companies.
- - Entities involved in container transport and handling in ports, railways, and factories.
The introduction of these autonomous solutions is not merely about innovation; it represents a strategic response to pressing labor shortages and the continuous quest for productivity improvement in the logistics sector. By embracing automation, industries can shift towards a more efficient, reliable, and sustainable future.
