MCS Robotics
MCS Robotics provides physical AI for ports, automating container interior cleaning with its Box Cleaner, the world's first robotic solution for this task. The system autonomously enters, cleans, and exits 20-40 ft containers using a 150-bar high-pressure wash system, eliminating personnel entry during the wash cycle. Its four-camera vision system captures structured visual data, enabling AI-based detection of rust, dents, and contamination linked to specific container locations.

Problem
Container interior cleaning at ports and terminals is a repetitive, physically demanding manual task that requires personnel to enter confined spaces, exposing them to residues, contaminants, and safety risks while yielding inconsistent results and high water consumption.
Solution
MCS Robotics provides physical AI for ports, automating container terminal operations with its Box Cleaner, the world's first robotic solution for cleaning container interiors. The system autonomously enters, cleans, and exits 20-40 ft containers while personnel remain outside the cleaning environment. It uses a 150-bar high-pressure wash system and a four-camera perception system that captures structured visual data during every pass, enabling AI-based detection of rust, dents, and contamination linked to specific locations within the container. The robot operates under supervised autonomy, performing a full cleaning cycle in 2-5 minutes with a max flow rate of 50 L/min, and is delivered as a managed robotics-as-a-service with pricing tied to completed washes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are container ports and terminal operators who need to automate repetitive, physically demanding wash operations while improving efficiency, safety, and inspection traceability.
