Hakuou Robotics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Arakawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomohiro Suzuki) will exhibit its autonomous forklift 'AutoFork' within the Logisnext Japan Co., Ltd. booth at the 'Asia Seamless Logistics Forum 2026,' held at the Tokyo Ryutsu Center (TRC) from May 14th (Thursday) to 15th (Friday), 2026 (10:00-17:00 daily).
This forum aims to enhance cooperation across the entire supply chain and realize seamless logistics. Our company proposes connecting logistics starting from the automation of forklifts.
At the Logisnext Japan booth (Booth No. 1M-01) in Hall E (1F), we will exhibit 'AutoFork.' We will showcase the actual machine, introduce its basic functions, and provide concrete examples and use cases to illustrate how it can be utilized on-site. Please note that pre-registration is required for this exhibition. For details, please check the official exhibition website (https://mf-p.jp/aslf2026/entry/).
AutoFork is an autonomous forklift that automates forklifts—the main players in logistics sites—and connects equipment and processes. Forklifts are involved in all stages, such as transportation, storage, and loading/unloading. By automating them, integration with each process and facility becomes possible. For example, by linking with elevators, transportation across different floors can be achieved, enabling operations that span multiple facilities and processes rather than just automating a single step.
In recent years, interest in automation and labor-saving has risen rapidly in the logistics industry against the backdrop of serious labor shortages and the need for operational efficiency. Meanwhile, there is a strong need to proceed with automation while maintaining flexible on-site operations, and achieving overall optimization beyond single-process optimization is required. In this exhibition, in addition to the actual machine display and introduction of specific case studies, we will present an image of achieving seamless logistics for the entire supply chain through examples of connections between facilities and processes starting from forklift automation.
Sales representatives will be stationed at the venue to handle inquiries according to individual site challenges. Please visit our exhibition booth.
We will continue to promote the practical spread of automation at logistics sites by advancing the connection between facilities and systems, starting with the automation of forklifts at the core of logistics sites. We will reflect customer needs and site voices obtained through this exhibition in product development and service improvement to provide value to more sites.
