Toyota is preparing to open an innovative, multimillion-dollar automotive distribution centre in Australia which will use the latest robotics technology developed in partnership with Omron. The new facility at a former military base near Geelong will be Toyota’s first outside of Japan. The robots are fitted with fully integrated roll-tops so that plastic crates with parts can be seamlessly picked up and transferred onto fixed conveyors. AIVs offer greater flexibility, are able to select the best path for each job and can operate for up to 15 hours on a single charge. The Sydney-based facility is scheduled to open later this year.
