Konica Minolta and MiR launching two autonomous robots at CeMat
Konica Minolta Australia has announced that it will be launching two autonomous mobile robots from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) at CeMAT Australia 2025, running from 22–24 July at The Dome, Sydney Olympic Park.
The MiR MC250 mobile cobot and the MiR1200 pallet jack will be debuted at the trade show, with the company saying this will allow visitors to see how these AI-powered systems can be used to transform logistics and production workflows.
The MiR MC250 combines an AMR with a Universal Robots (UR) cobot, and is powered by MiR’s navigation technology, bringing mobility to collaborative robotics.
Key features include the ability to achieve seamless machine tending and quality inspection capabilities, flexible deployment across multiple tasks and production lines, built-in safety features for close human collaboration, and quick redeployment with minimal setup time.
The MiR1200 is an AMR designed for high-speed, high-accuracy pallet transport in dynamic manufacturing and warehousing environments.
Key features include AI-based perception for fast, precise and reliable pallet detection, a high-capacity battery with fast charging to support 24/7 operations, compliance with ISO 3691-4 safety standards and a payload capacity of up to 1200 kg.
The company will also be showing the MiR1350 with Shelf Lift, which can transport payloads of up to 1350 kg.
“We’re excited to bring the MiR MC250 and MiR1200 pallet jack to Australian shores for the first time,” said Manglesh Jain, Robotics Business Manager, Konica Minolta Australia. “These solutions offer practical automation that can be quickly integrated into real-world operations. CeMAT is the perfect opportunity for local businesses to see their potential first-hand.”
