Hachidori - Carton Transfer Unit (CTU) AMR Robot

A Carton Transfer Unit (CTU) AMR — also called a CTU Robot or CTU Mobile Robot — is a purpose-built autonomous mobile robot engineered for high-throughput, simultaneous multi-tote carton transfer across warehouses, distribution centres, and production lines. Unlike conventional single-load carriers, the CTU AMR moves multiple totes or cartons in a single trip, dramatically accelerating throughput and reducing cycle times.

Hachidori’s CTU AMR Robot combines Wireless Natural Navigation, a patented multi-level tote-handling mechanism, and seamless WMS/ERP integration to deliver reliable, safe, and fully autonomous carton logistics — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with zero infrastructure changes to your existing facility.

Multi-Tote Simultaneous Transfer

Unlike single-load AMRs, the CTU Robot handles multiple cartons and totes in one run — cutting trips by up to 60% and compressing order fulfilment cycles significantly.

Built for Speed & Density

Designed for high-density carton environments — sortation zones, pick-and-pack areas, and inter-floor transfer operations — the CTU AMR maximises throughput per square metre.

Key Features of the CTU AMR Robot

Wireless Natural Navigation

Hachidori's patented Wireless Natural Navigation — no magnetic strips, floor markers, or fixed infrastructure required. Adapts to dynamic environments in real time.

Simultaneous Multi-Tote Transfer

Move multiple cartons or totes in a single automated run. Eliminates repetitive single-trip cycles and maximises warehouse throughput per robot deployed.

Advanced Safety Sensors

2D LiDAR, depth camera, crash bumper, tower lamp, and emergency stop ensure safe co-existence with human workers on the floor.

Flexible Dynamic Routing

Real-time route optimisation adapts instantly to changing floor layouts, obstacles, and shifting task priorities — no reprogramming needed.

Real-Time Fleet Monitoring

Live dashboards display robot status, task progress, battery levels, and performance analytics — giving operations teams complete visibility at all times.

Seamless WMS/ERP Integration

Native integration with WMS and ERP systems via the VDA 5050 standard. Plug-and-play deployment with your existing digital infrastructure.
