About ROMS

Thank you for your interest in ROMS.
First, please check our company and business profile on our corporate website.
☞https://roms.inc/

We are a start-up company established in 2019, planning, developing, and selling high-performance small automated warehouse solutions and robot picking systems for e-commerce/retail/logistics/manufacturers.

Although we started with the development of ultra-compact autonomous stores in the 30㎡ class and, utilizing its elemental technologies, we have recently developed the industry's most efficient compact automated warehouse system for distribution centers and factories, as well as 3D high-speed piece sorting machines and robot picking systems, all in-house.

In September 2022, we opened an unmanned store for quick commerce, RCS (Robotics Convenience Store), in Shibuya with KDDI and completed a total of 1.2 billion yen in funding. In February 2023, we opened a laboratory in Heiwajima and started expanding to the area of warehouse automation for logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturers.

We already plan to implement our solutions for several companies in Japan and expand our business overseas in the next 1-2 years. We are also developing new products to accelerate market penetration, which we plan to actively promote at exhibitions and seminars this year.
