To address the challenges of high-density storage in narrow-aisle, high-bay warehouses, Multiway Robotics has developed the MW-K Series Autonomous Turret Forklifts. Designed to operate in aisles as narrow as 1.75 m and capable of lifting loads to heights of up to 16.5 m, the MW-K Series integrates seamlessly with the WMS (Warehouse Management System), WCS (Warehouse Control System), and RCS (Robot Control System) to deliver a comprehensive intralogistics solution covering high-bay storage, automated inbound and outbound operations, multi-vehicle collaboration, and intelligent fleet scheduling. Today, the MW-K Series has been deployed at scale across multiple countries and regions worldwide, serving industries including manufacturing and warehousing & logistics. It helps customers maximize warehouse space utilization while accelerating logistics automation and digital transformation.

A Comprehensive Solution for High-Density High-Bay Warehousing

Compared with conventional forklifts, the Multiway Robotics MW-K Series Autonomous Turret Forklifts are purpose-built for narrow-aisle, high-bay warehouse applications. By combining advanced vehicle performance with intelligent software systems, the MW-K Series delivers a safer, more efficient, and smarter intralogistics solution for modern warehouses.

1.75 m Narrow-Aisle Operation Maximizes Storage Capacity

Featuring 180° rotating forks, the MW-K Series can retrieve and place pallets on both sides of the aisle without turning the vehicle. Requiring aisles as narrow as 1.75 m, it significantly reduces aisle space, maximizes warehouse space utilization, and enables high-density storage layouts.

16.5 m Lift Height for High-Bay Storage

With a maximum lift height of 16.5 m, the MW-K Series is designed for ultra-high-bay warehouse applications. It enables automated pallet put-away, retrieval, and high-precision storage operations on high-level racking, improving storage capacity while ensuring operational efficiency and safety at height.

High-Precision Storage & Retrieval for Reliable Performance in Complex Environments

Equipped with laser navigation, vision-based positioning, high-bay space detection, and pallet recognition technologies, the MW-K Series delivers highly accurate storage and retrieval while ensuring stable, continuous operation in complex warehouse environments.

Application Cases

Customer: Leading European Import & Export Enterprise

Project Overview

The customer’s warehouse features a high-density, high-bay racking layout, where storage and retrieval operations had long relied on manual labor. This resulted in low operational efficiency, increased safety risks, and delayed inventory management. As business continued to grow, the customer sought to automate its warehouse operations and achieve fully unmanned high-bay storage processes.

Multiway Robotics deployed the MW-K16 Autonomous Turret Forklift, integrated with the WMS (Warehouse Management System) and RCS (Robot Control System). The solution enables automated storage and retrieval from high-bay racking, intelligent route planning, and automatic charging. Operating reliably in aisles as narrow as 1.75 m, the MW-K16 supports 24/7 continuous warehouse operations.

Results

• Increased storage density by over 30%

• Achieved a stable inbound and outbound throughput of 10–15 pallets per hour

• Improved inventory accuracy to 100%

• Realized fully automated, unmanned high-bay warehouse operations

Customer: Large Manufacturing Enterprise in Malaysia

Project Overview

As the customer continued expanding its overseas manufacturing facilities, it planned to build a modern warehouse covering multiple operational areas, including raw material storage, finished goods storage, kitting areas, and quarantine warehouses, with more than 5,000 storage locations. The objective was to maximize warehouse space utilization and improve overall logistics efficiency.

Multiway Robotics deployed the MW-K16 Autonomous Turret Forklift, the X20 Autonomous Pallet Truck, and the MW-SL14 Autonomous Stacker Forklift to work collaboratively. The MW-K16 performs automated storage and retrieval in high-bay racking, the X20 handles warehouse transportation, while the MW-SL14 completes empty pallet destacking and stacking. Integrated with the WMS and RCS, the solution enables unified management of material flow, information flow, and data flow.

Results

• Intelligent management of 5,000+ storage locations

• Automated movement of raw materials and finished goods

• Collaborative operation among multiple autonomous vehicle types

• Improved warehouse space utilization and digital warehouse management

Customer: Leading Chinese Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Manufacturer

Project Overview

As the customer's business continued to expand, its existing warehouse capacity could no longer meet growing production demands. The company sought to increase storage capacity through a high-bay automated warehouse while enabling automated inbound and outbound handling of both raw materials and finished goods.

Multiway Robotics deployed the MW-K15 Autonomous Turret Forklift together with the MW-SL14 Autonomous Stacker Forklift, covering three production workshops and one warehouse. The MW-K15 performs automated storage and retrieval in high-bay racking, while the MW-SL14 handles material transportation between the production lines and the warehouse. Integrated with the RCS (Robot Control System) and the WCS (Warehouse Control System), the solution enables seamless collaboration among autonomous robots, conveyor systems, and automatic doors.

Results

• Completed more than 500 pallet inbound and outbound operations per day

• Significantly improved high-bay warehouse space utilization

• Achieved end-to-end digital transformation of warehouse logistics operations

Customer: Leading Chinese Automotive Parts Manufacturer

Project Overview

The customer's finished goods warehouse features a six-level selective racking system and required higher automated inbound and outbound efficiency to support high-frequency logistics operations and multi-SKU inventory management.

Multiway Robotics deployed the MW-K15 Autonomous Turret Forklift together with the X20 Autonomous Pallet Truck. The X20 is responsible for warehouse transfer and material transportation at the warehouse front, while the MW-K15 performs automated put-away, retrieval, and high-precision storage operations on high-bay racking. Powered by the RCS (Robot Control System), the solution enables intelligent multi-vehicle coordination and dynamic route optimization.

Results

• Fully automated storage and retrieval across six-level racking

• Collaborative operation efficiency of up to 70 pallets per hour

• Established an intelligent finished goods warehousing system

Customer: Leading Chinese Electrical Equipment Manufacturer

Project Overview

The project covers multiple logistics processes, including warehouse transfer, high-bay storage, and production line material delivery. Traditional manual transportation between different floors resulted in low efficiency and limited material traceability, making it difficult to meet increasing production demands.

Multiway Robotics deployed the MW-K16 Autonomous Turret Forklift, the X20 Autonomous Pallet Truck, together with the WMS (Warehouse Management System), WCS (Warehouse Control System), and RCS (Robot Control System). The integrated solution enables automated storage and retrieval in high-bay racking, warehouse transportation, production line replenishment, and seamless ERP integration, creating a fully connected logistics system between warehousing and manufacturing.
