Hachidori - Dock & Convey AMR
Hachidori’s Dock & Convey robot combines WiNN, precision docking technology, and an integrated belt conveyor to enable hands-free material flow between production lines, assembly stations, warehouse docks, and storage areas. Purpose-built for factory automation and warehouse automation, it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — integrating seamlessly with your WMS and ERP systems for fully connected intralogistics automation.
For purchase managers and operations leaders looking to reduce dependence on manual labour at workstations, the Dock & Convey AMR delivers measurable ROI, predictable throughput, and a scalable path to full AMR robot-driven material handling — without any changes to your existing facility layout.
Key Features of Hachidori Dock & Convey AMR
WiNN Technology
Patented WiNN — no magnetic strips or fixed infrastructure required. Navigates dynamic environments with high precision.
Precision Auto-Docking
Automatically aligns and docks with workbenches, conveyor ports, or assembly stations with sub-centimetre positional accuracy.
Integrated Belt Conveyor
Onboard powered conveyor transfers totes, bins, cartons, and trays to and from docked stations — fully automated, no human lifting required.
Advanced Safety Sensors
2D LiDAR, depth camera, crash bumper, tower lamp & emergency stop for safe co-existence with human workers on the shop floor.
Flexible Route Optimization
Dynamic routing adapts in real-time to changing factory layouts, station priorities, and obstacles — maximising throughput continuously.
Real-Time Fleet Monitoring
Live dashboards display robot status, docking events, task queues, and performance analytics across your entire AMR fleet.
Seamless WMS / ERP Integration
Native integration with WMS and ERP systems via the VDA 5050 standard — accelerating warehouse automation and factory automation rollouts.
Swappable Battery System
48V rechargeable battery with manual and hot-swappable options ensures continuous, uninterrupted operations across all shifts.
Bi-Directional Material Transfer
Conveys materials both onto and off the robot in a single docking event — enabling full-cycle pick-and-drop without repositioning.
How the Dock & Convey AMR Works
Receives Task
Instructions from WMS or ERP system defining pick and drop stations.
Navigates
WiNN for autonomous pathfinding to the source station.
Auto-Docks
Precision alignment & docking with the workbench or conveyor port.
Conveys Load
Integrated belt conveyor transfers totes/bins to or from the station.
Transports
Safely moves materials to the destination station or storage area.
Updates System
Real-time data sync with WMS/ERP upon task completion.
