Richmond Rolling Solutions has signed an exclusive distribution deal with ForwardX, a global provider of person-to-goods Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solutions, to distribute next-generation products in the ANZ market.
Under the partnership, businesses in Australia and New Zealand will be provided with access to FowardX AMR solutions and global leadership products, which will be backed by local support, knowledge and engineering from Richmond Rolling Solutions.
An Australian-first fully functioning demonstration centre will also be established in Melbourne to ensure key decision-makers understand AMR capabilities, according to Richmond Rolling Solutions CEO Breon Winslow-Moore.
ForwardX’s solutions are designed to reduce operational costs while improving the overall efficiency in warehouses, retail facilities, distribution centres and manufacturing plants.
“Customers will be able to trial and test the full suite of products, giving them a risk-free experience, they won’t be able to find anywhere else.”
