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 WiNN, 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
WiNN Technology
Hachidori's patented WiNN — 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.

Hachidori CTU AMR Robots deliver up to 30–50% improvement in carton handling efficiency and up to 60% reduction in transfer cycle time compared to traditional methods.
A CTU AMR Robot — also known as a CTU mobile robot or CTU robot — is specifically designed for simultaneous multi-tote carton transfer. Unlike standard AMRs that carry a single load per trip, the CTU AMR moves multiple cartons or totes in one automated run, reducing cycle times by up to 60% and significantly increasing throughput in high-density carton environments.
The CTU AMR handles standard totes, cartons, bins, and trays. It is configurable for different tote sizes and stack heights, making it versatile for e-commerce, FMCG, pharmaceutical, and automotive parts environments.
It uses Hachidori’s patented Wireless Natural Navigation with AI, LiDAR, and SLAM to navigate autonomously, avoid obstacles, and optimise routes in real time — no magnetic strips, fixed tracks, or floor markers needed.
Yes. Advanced safety features including 2D LiDAR, depth camera, crash bumper, tower lamp, and emergency stop ensure the CTU AMR operates safely in environments where humans are present — fully compliant with CE safety standards.
Yes. CTU AMR Robots integrate natively with WMS and ERP systems via the VDA 5050 standard, enabling fast, plug-and-play deployment with your existing digital infrastructure.
Minimal to no infrastructure changes are required. The CTU AMR uses natural navigation and does not depend on fixed tracks, magnetic strips, or floor markers — making deployment fast and non-disruptive.
Customers typically achieve ROI within 12–18 months, with 30–60% improvement in carton handling efficiency, up to 60% reduction in transfer cycle times, and significant reduction in labour costs. Use our ROI Calculator above for a custom estimate.
