Revolutionizing Material Movement in Manufacturing: A Proven Case Study

Material Movement in Manufacturing factory

The Challenge in Modern Manufacturing

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments, material movement bottlenecks can halt production lines, delay deliveries, and inflate operational costs. Traditional manual handling methods are not only labor-intensive but also prone to errors, safety risks, and inefficiencies, especially in high-volume facilities where precision and timing are critical.

The Hachidori Solution: Dock & Convey AMR in Action

Hachidori’s Dock & Convey Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is transforming material handling in a live pump manufacturing facility, delivering measurable results that directly impact the bottom line. This isn’t a pilot project, it’s a fully operational system proving its value every single day.

Real-World Application: Heavy-Duty Pump Transport

In this facility, the AMR handles one of manufacturing’s toughest challenges: moving heavy, irregularly shaped pumps across the production floor. Here’s how it works:

  1. Manual Loading: Operators lift and position pumps vertically onto the AMR platform
  2. Orientation Adjustment: Workers manually adjust the pump to a horizontal position
  3. Autonomous Transport: The AMR takes over, navigating the factory floor to deliver the pump precisely where it’s needed

This hybrid approach showcases the AMR’s ability to integrate seamlessly with existing workflows—no need for complete process overhauls or expensive infrastructure changes.

Performance That Speaks for Itself

Proven Track Record (November 2024 – February 2025)

  • 1,200+ kilometers traveled inside the plant
  • 120,000+ automated movements completed successfully
  • Zero compromise on delivery timing or reliability

What This Means for Your Operations

✅ Consistent Daily Performance
Thousands of automated material movements completed monthly, ensuring production schedules stay on track

✅ Minimal Infrastructure Investment
Pickup and drop points can be added, modified, or removed without major facility changes—deploy quickly and scale as needed

✅ Peak Period Reliability
During high-demand manufacturing cycles, the AMR maintains smooth operations without disruption or performance degradation

✅ 24/7 Operational Stability
Engineered for industrial environments, delivering uninterrupted service month after month
