Geekplus deploys AMRs at Toyota Motor plants

As labour shortages due to a declining population and new labour regulations for truck drivers become urgent challenges for the manufacturing industry, Toyota Motor Corporation is accelerating the automation and efficiency of its in-plant logistics. Geekplus moving-type AMRs were selected for their flexible system design, which allows for 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 labor savings and productivity improvements. Furthermore, they help create a safer workplace by reducing the risks associated with the intersection of forklifts and towing vehicles. The AMRs also contribute to the "visualization of inventory movement" by accumulating travel data within the plants. 

Beyond the deployment of moving-type AMRs and AGVs, Geekplus provides ongoing support by sharing operational know-how and providing maintenance education to ensure that on-site personnel can utilize automation equipment safely and effectively. Through these initiatives, Geekplus empowers proactive on-site improvements and contributes to continuous productivity gains. Geekplus remains committed to supporting Toyota Motor Corporation’s efforts to standardize in-plant logistics.
