Rainbow Robotics announced that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with Techtaka, which operates the global integrated logistics platform 'Argo', to expand its logistics automation business.
Through this agreement, the two companies will provide optimized operational solutions for logistics centers and cooperate with the goal of reducing customers’ costs and maximizing shipping efficiency. To this end, Rainbow Robotics will deliver five small logistics robots, ‘RBM-S100’, to Techtaka, conduct a pre-verification (PoC), and plan to supply an additional 30 units within this month.
Rainbow Robotics' small logistics robot 'RBM-S100' consists of two models, type A and type B, and can load and transport up to 120 kg of goods based on type A. It was designed to be compact (width 510 mm, length 510 mm, height 1250 mm) so that it can move through narrow aisles of a logistics warehouse, and by applying 3D lidar technology, the robot can accurately determine its location, enabling stable operation.
Techtaka is mapping out static resources in its logistics centers and operating a work distribution system specialized for e-commerce shipments based on its own machine learning engine. It is also analyzing workers’ dynamic data through personal digital assistants (PDAs) and providing optimized movement paths to improve work speed.
Yang Soo-young, CEO of Techtaka, said, “Argo has been introducing innovative technologies that create customer value while realizing reductions in service costs and logistics costs. Through this collaboration, we will be able to improve the picking work speed by more than 30% by utilizing Rainbow Robotics’ robots,” and “We will establish ourselves as a company leading innovation in the global logistics market.”
“We are delighted to be expanding our business into the global logistics robot market through collaboration with Techtaka,” said Lee Jeong-ho, CEO of Rainbow Robotics. “We will continue to supply customized robots to customers to help solve the problems of declining labor force and aversion to physical labor.”
