Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has developed "ΣSynX®" (Sigma Syncs) as its standard platform to synchronize and coordinate diverse machine systems. The ΣSynX core technologies were demonstrated using a prototype embodying the automated guided forklift (AGF) concept. To help solve logistical challenges faced by customers, including Japan's "2024 Problem in Logistics," Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has begun offering smart logistics solutions. In our "automated picking solution," which is the first of its kind in Japan, ΣSynX has automated case picking operations in warehouses such as beverage warehouses. In December 2024, this solution was adopted by Kirin Beverage Co., Ltd. at its Ebina Logistics Center. This report presents Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Group's ongoing projects to address a variety of logistical challenges faced on-site by customers, using ΣSynX's "smart connections" for smart logistics solutions.
