Video Case Stories
The Mobile Robot Company publishes videos that show the J1600 operating in real settings — live demonstrations at public events, a first-time user creating an autonomous task, load-handling examples, and validation at the company's Copenhagen test facility. This page collects the stories those videos tell and links to each one.
A first-time user automates a pallet move
At TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS 2026 in Dortmund, a visiting logistics professional who had used electric pallet jacks — but never the J1600 — tried the vehicle for the first time:
- She drove the J1600 manually with the tiller, which handles like a conventional electric pallet jack. White lights indicate manual mode.
- She drove to a drop point, tapped Save location, and named the location after her organization.
- She created a task, chose "drop pallet at location," and selected return to origin as the post-delivery behavior.
- She confirmed automatic mode and stepped away.
- The J1600 traveled autonomously, routed around people using its 3D environment map, dropped the pallet at floor level, and returned.
There is no software limit to the number of saved locations. Watch: Can Anyone Automate a Pallet Move in Minutes?
Live demonstration at TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS 2026
In an interview with a trade journalist, CEO Emil Hauch Jensen demonstrates the full working cycle live: manual pallet pickup, location saving, autonomous delivery with drop-and-return, and the 360-degree safety field. He describes the three barriers that keep companies from full automation — price, flexibility, and complexity — and the J1600's proposition of automating roughly 80% of the repetitive transport work rather than 100%, at a fraction of the cost of a full automation project. Start-up takes about one hour. Watch: J1600 Live Demo at TEST CAMP 2026
Handling open cages, barrels, and sensitive loads
Two videos show the flexibility of manual judgment combined with autonomous travel:
- The J1600 handles open cages, EPAL Euro pallets, and other open-base carriers within its size limits. Watch: Dual Mode J1600 AMR: Flexible Handling of Open Cages and Euro Pallets
- For sensitive or unstable loads such as barrels, the operator uses manual control for pickup and confined maneuvering, then hands the long transport leg to autonomous mode. Watch: What extra capabilities does the Dual Mode Pallet Jack J1600 offer?

Lifting and carrying at capacity
CTO Odin Kudahl Skovsted shows the J1600 picking from a height of 1.6 m in manual mode and carrying 1,600 kg. Watch: How Our Mobile Robots Handle 1,600 kg Loads at 1.6 Meters
Validation at the Copenhagen test facility
The company's Copenhagen demo and test area is built for intentionally real-world conditions: deliberately uneven flooring, water-filled test loads, and multiple simultaneous test setups. Customers can visit for demos and trials. Watch: Inside Our Copenhagen Test Facility

The most commonly demonstrated task is manual pickup, autonomous delivery, floor-level drop, and return to origin. The route can be a few meters or more than 100 meters — the concept is the same. More product questions are answered in the product and capabilities FAQ.
