B&PLUS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiki-gun, Saitama Prefecture; hereinafter "B&PLUS"), a provider of wireless power transfer technology, has launched a leasing service that allows for the monthly use of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) used in factories and logistics sites, bundled with wireless charging systems.
This service provides a mechanism for introducing AMRs—which have previously faced challenges due to high initial investment costs—while keeping those upfront expenses low.
■ Background: Advancing Transport Automation and Challenges in AMR Adoption
In the manufacturing and logistics industries, the automation of transport processes is rapidly advancing due to labor shortages and the need for improved productivity. Among these, there is growing attention on AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), which offer flexible layout adaptability.
However, companies considering AMR adoption often cite the following challenges:
- High initial investment costs
- Difficulty in making adoption decisions
- Difficulty in forecasting return on investment
To lower these hurdles to adoption, B&PLUS has launched this monthly leasing service.
■ Service Overview
This service is a lease model that bundles the AMR unit with a wireless charging system. A leasing company purchases the equipment, and the user utilizes it for a monthly fee.
- Items eligible for lease -
- AMR units
- Wireless chargers
- Other optional items designed by B&PLUS, if applicable
Typically, AMR adoption can cost several million yen, but by utilizing a lease, it becomes possible to introduce equipment while keeping initial investment low.
■ Benefits of this Service
① Adoption with low initial costs
Because it is a lease agreement rather than an equipment purchase, you can begin AMR adoption while significantly reducing initial costs.
② Easy cost management with fixed monthly payments
Since costs are fixed as a monthly lease fee, it becomes easier to plan annual budgets and manage costs.
③ Reduced operational burden through wireless charging
This service incorporates a wireless charging system into the AMR. Tasks that were necessary in conventional AMR operations—such as installing charging docks, manual battery replacement, and managing spare batteries—become unnecessary, allowing for automatic charging at stop positions.
④ Includes comprehensive movable property insurance
The lease agreement includes comprehensive movable property insurance, allowing for operations that account for risks such as equipment trouble.
■ Flow to Adoption
① Selection of the AMR model to be introduced
② Conclusion of the lease agreement
③ Equipment delivery (estimated delivery time: approx. 2–3 months)
④ Payment of monthly lease fees
⑤ Start of operations
■ Future Outlook
The AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) market is expanding rapidly, with the market size projected to reach approximately $9.5 billion by 2030. *Source: Autonomous Mobile Robots Market Report
B&PLUS will continue to expand its unmanned and automated solutions for transport robots, factory equipment, and AGVs/AMRs by leveraging wireless power transfer technology, contributing to labor savings and improved productivity in the manufacturing industry.
