Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group has announced a new partnership with Phantom Auto, a leading provider of interoperable remote operation software, to enable operators who are sitting up to thousands of kilometres away to remotely operate unmanned tuggers, pallet jacks, counterbalances and more.

The remote human-in-the-loop technology enables logistics operators to improve operator safety and health, reduce downtime and unlock multi-site efficiencies by "teleporting" flex staff on demand. Phantom will be offering forklifts with Phantom's software integrated across specific types of electric-powered forklifts from Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas' UniCarriers and Mitsubishi brands.

Logistics operators can use Phantom's interoperable solution to remotely operate unmanned materials handling vehicles from a distance, and complement autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) by remotely monitoring many vehicles simultaneously and remotely assisting or operating vehicles when the autonomy needs human assistance.

Phantom's vehicle-agnostic software has also been integrated with other leading materials handling OEMs, along with manufacturers of trucks, robots, cars and more.

Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other leading investors, Phantom is rapidly expanding across the logistics and manufacturing industries and is powering use cases as broad as materials handling, yard operations and last-mile delivery.

"Over the past several years, we've proven repeatedly that remote operation is transformational for logistics operators," says Shai Magzimof, co-founder and CEO at Phantom Auto. "Phantom is helping customers scale unmanned operations sooner while enabling the next frontier of remote work."

According to chief business officer Elliot Katz, the partnership with Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas is a significant milestone in Phantom's mission to unlock greater safety, productivity, and operational resilience across the supply chain.
