Introduction

Hakuou Robotics, headquartered in Arakawa, Tokyo, is set to make waves in the automated logistics sector with their upcoming demonstration at the International Logistics Comprehensive Exhibition 2026. From September 8 to 11, attendees will witness the synergy of two distinctive automatic forklifts – the AutoFork Walkie and the AutoFork Reach. These advanced machines are designed to streamline pallet handling, enhancing efficiency in logistics operations.

The Demonstration

At the Tokyo Big Sight venue, the booth will feature three impressive models: two AutoFork Walkies and one AutoFork Reach, showcasing their collaborative functionality. The demonstration will highlight how these forklifts work together seamlessly to automate complete logistical processes, from transporting to storing pallets. The AutoFork Walkie will initially carry a pallet and then hand it off to the AutoFork Reach, which will store it in a portable rack, effectively covering the entire cycle of pallet handling.

The exhibition promises to illustrate real-time automation capabilities and the robustness of integrated systems. Attendees will be introduced to the various functionalities of the AutoFork models through live demonstrations.

AutoFork Models

The demonstration will focus particularly on the AutoFork Walkie, which is designed for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, and the AutoFork Reach, capable of managing heavier loads of up to one ton. This innovative design allows for an efficient workflow in warehouses and manufacturing settings. Hakuou Robotics has emphasized the importance of recognizing pallet positions for fitting adjustments, showcasing their advanced recognition technology during the demo.

Features on Display

Visitors can expect a series of functionalities to be highlighted throughout the event:

• - Ensuring precise positioning through pallet recognition.
• - Coordinated efforts by multiple AutoFork Walkies for efficient pallet transport.
• - The seamless handoff of pallets from Walkie to Reach.
• - Storage of pallets into portable racks by the AutoFork Reach.

In addition, participants will have the chance to observe the Warehouse Control System (WCS) interface that manages and controls multiple AutoFork units, providing insights into operational statuses and control conditions in real-time. Hakuou Robotics aims to demonstrate how integrating different forklift types can fully automate logistics processes from transport to storage, thereby enhancing overall productivity in the logistics field.

Product Demonstrations

In addition to continuous live demonstrations of the three forklifts, the company is scheduled to conduct five dedicated product and functionality showcases each day. These presentations will include a demonstration of remote operation commands, innovative catching and releasing features applied to pallet transport, and vehicle reactions during obstacle detection events. The scheduled times for these presentations are set for 10:30, 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:00 PM, each lasting approximately 20 minutes.
