Considerations
Primarily targets very large enterprises and infrastructure projects, making it likely unsuitable for small or mid-sized businesses
Warehousing solutions are now redirected through Toyota Automated Logistics Group, potentially adding complexity for customers seeking standalone warehouse automation

Solutions are heavily hardware-centric and project-driven, requiring significant capital investment and long implementation timelines
