Tugger AMR
- Trusted by leading Automotive, FMCG & Pharma manufacturers across India
What is an AMR Tugger?
An AMR Tugger (Autonomous Mobile Robot Tugger) is a self-driving industrial robot engineered to tow carts, trailers, trolleys, and heavy loads through warehouses, assembly lines, and manufacturing facilities. Unlike traditional manual tugger trains or fixed-path AGVs, the autonomous tugger robot navigates dynamically — adapting in real time to people, obstacles, and changing floor layouts.
Hachidori’s Tugger Robot is a leading automated tugger solution purpose-built for Indian industry. It replaces manual tow trucks and fixed AGV trains with an intelligent, flexible fleet that delivers continuous material flow — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — without infrastructure changes or floor modifications.
Key features of the Tugger Robot
Wireless Natural Navigation
Patented wireless natural navigation — no magnetic strips, guide wires, or fixed infrastructure required.
High Towing Capacity
Tows loads from 500 kg up to 3000 kg across multiple variants, supporting carts, trailers, and trolley trains.
Advanced Safety Sensors
2D LiDAR, depth camera, crash bumper, tower lamp, and emergency stop for safe co-existence with workers.
Dynamic Route Optimization
Real-time routing adapts to warehouse layout changes, congestion, and multi-cart train configurations.
Real-Time Fleet Monitoring
Live dashboards track tugger status, mission progress, towing load, and performance analytics.
Seamless System Integration
Native WMS and ERP integration via the VDA 5050 standard for plug-and-play deployment.
