Wholesale Distribution / Industrial Supply Shigemasa Co., Ltd. Deploys MiR250 Hook AMR to Automate Cart Transport After Warehouse Expansion
MiRUp to 500 kg (MiR250 Hook towing capacity), Japan Shigemasa Co., Ltd., a machinery parts and tools supplier based in Fukuyama-shi, Hiroshima, Japan, deployed a MiR250 Hook autonomous mobile robot to automate cart towing operations after a warehouse expansion significantly increased internal transport distances. The MiR250 Hook — an AMR with a patented towing hook top module — autonomously collects carts from designated yard locations and delivers them to shipping bases in response to instructions from the company's inventory management system. Key selection criteria included no infrastructure change requirements, multi-device remote operation capability, a simple one-click user interface, and pre-installation verification at the DAIKI ROBOTICS Robotics Lab in Osaka. The deployment freed human workers from repetitive transport tasks to focus on work that only humans can do, and was selected over AGV and competing AMR solutions that required magnetic tape, layout changes, or manual loading and unloading.
