Micropolis Signs Agreement with Helsingborgs Hamn AB and MCS Robotics to Develop and Test the ‘Box Cleaner’ Robot
Micropolis (NYSE: MCRP) signed an agreement with Helsingborgs Hamn AB and MCS Robotics AB to jointly develop and test the Box Cleaner, an autonomous industrial cleaning robot built on Micropolis’ M2 platform.
The Box Cleaner uses the company’s proprietary control systems, AI navigation, and edge computing to operate autonomously for extended periods, aiming to reduce water usage, energy consumption, and labor costs. The on-site trial at Helsingborgs Hamn in Sweden will validate performance on large paved and container areas and produce operational data to refine the robot ahead of planned commercial rollouts across European and Middle Eastern markets.
Micropolis (NYSE: MCRP) ha firmato un accordo con Helsingborgs Hamn AB e MCS Robotics AB per sviluppare e testare congiuntamente il Box Cleaner, un robot autonomo per la pulizia industriale basato sulla piattaforma M2 di Micropolis.
Il Box Cleaner utilizza i sistemi di controllo proprietari, la navigazione AI e l'elaborazione edge dell'azienda per operare in modo autonomo per periodi prolungati, con l'obiettivo di ridurre consumo di acqua, consumo energetico e costi del lavoro. Il test sul sito di Helsingborgs Hamn in Svezia validerà le prestazioni su vaste aree pavimentate e di stoccaggio di container e produrrà dati operativi per affinare il robot prima dei piani di lancio commerciale in mercati europei e del Medio Oriente.

Insights
Micropolis signed a partnership to pilot an autonomous port-cleaning robot, validating tech in a leading Swedish port.
The agreement pairs Micropolis with Helsingborgs Hamn AB and MCS Robotics to develop and test the "Box Cleaner" built on the M2 platform with proprietary control systems, AI navigation, and edge computing. The pilot will run in real operational port conditions at Helsingborgs Hamn and gather operational data to refine autonomous cleaning performance.
Key dependencies include successful validation of autonomy, durability in outdoor industrial conditions, and measurable resource savings such as reduced water and energy use and lower labor needs. The collaboration reduces technical risk by testing in a technologically advanced, sustainability-focused port, but outcomes remain contingent on the trial data.
