Multiway Robotics Shines at Korea AW 2026 | Autonomous Tailgate Loading & Unloading and High-Bay Storage/Retrieval Solutions Draw Significant Attention
Date:2026-03-06
On March 4th, the Korean Intelligent Factory and Automation World Exhibition (AW 2026) officially opened at COEX in Seoul. As one of the influential intelligent manufacturing and automation exhibitions in Asia, this year's show brought together numerous global companies from the robotics and automation sectors, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements.

Multiway Robotics presented its solutions for unmanned trunk loading/unloading and high bay AS/RS in complex scenarios. Focusing on core applications such as autonomous loading/unloading, high bay storage/retrieval, and multi-vehicle collaborative operations, the company delivered a systematic exhibition covering "loading/unloading – material handling – storage/retrieval – dispatching". This attracted professional visitors from the manufacturing and warehousing industries to stop and engage in discussions.
Application of Unmanned Tailgate Loading/Unloading Technology

At the exhibition site, the tailgate-specific counterbalanced forklift MW-Q20 performed a live demonstration of automated loading and unloading operations.
Key Capabilities:
Automatically identifies truck dimensions and internal space structure
Intelligent Planning of Loading Paths and Storage Location Layout Logic
Zero-gap between adjacent cargo
dock leveler max angle up to 8°
Supports wing-body trucks, flatbed trucks, etc.
Through visual recognition and algorithmic planning, the tailgate-specific counterbalanced autonomous forklift MW-Q20 can rapidly identify cargo compartments of various specifications. It dynamically optimizes loading sequences and placement patterns, maximizing space utilization while ensuring safety.
High-Bay Storage and Retrieval Solutions for Complex Warehouse Environments

To address the special handling requirements for long materials and heavy loads, Multiway Robotics showcased the autonomous sideloader forklift MW-O20.
Omnidirectional mobility technology, adapting to narrow aisles and complex paths.
Side-loading structure enhances stability for long material handling.
On-board visual perception system enabling alignment correction and comprehensive environmental sensing.
High-bay precision storage and retrieval, fully satisfying the requirements of modern automated warehouse systems.
The MW-O20 autonomous sideloader forklift delivers high-precision operations at elevated heights within complex warehouse environments. It is specifically engineered for the automated handling of long materials such as steel bars, sheets, and profiles, providing a specialized solution for demanding industry scenarios.
Integrated Software-Hardware Intelligent System Ecosystem

Aside from its core hardware products, Multiway Robotics showcased a comprehensive software system architecture.
