Amano Corporation

Amano Corporation is a Yokohama, Japan-based industrial manufacturer founded on November 3, 1931, and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under code 6436. The company reports roughly 5,532 consolidated employees and operates four business segments: Time Information Systems, Parking Systems, Environmental Systems, and Clean & Robot Solutions. Its time-information business supplies attendance and workforce-management hardware and software such as the TimePro-eX cloud attendance platform and the TimeP@CK ALEX time recorder, used widely by Japanese employers for payroll and shift tracking. Its parking business designs, installs, and services parking-lot equipment and bicycle-parking systems, increasingly bundled with cloud-based management services. The environmental business manufactures dust-collection and mist-collection equipment for factories and workshops. The Clean & Robot Solutions segment is where Amano has built its robotics presence, combining electrolyzed-water cleaning equipment with autonomous floor-care robots for commercial facilities. In July 2026 Amano released RAPiiTT, a business-use robot vacuum cleaner developed with cloud connectivity and AI-based navigation supplied by Preferred Robotics, positioned to help offices, retail spaces, and other commercial facilities digitize cleaning operations. This follows an earlier 2022 collaboration with Preferred Robotics on HAPiiBOT, a smaller autonomous floor-cleaning robot that used AI technology for self-navigation around obstacles and furniture. Both products extend Amano's decades-long floor-maintenance-equipment business into autonomous, subscription-friendly hardware rather than purely manual machines. Amano's headquarters are located at 275 Mamedo-cho, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, and the company maintains subsidiaries and sales operations across Europe, Asia, and North and Central America, reflecting its long-standing export business in parking and time-management equipment. The firm reports capital of roughly 18.2 billion yen. Amano positions its robotics push, including RAPiiTT and HAPiiBOT, within a broader corporate emphasis on operational efficiency, labor-saving automation, and sustainability, complementing its legacy hardware lines in workforce management and environmental control equipment. The company's social presence includes an official YouTube channel dating to its 1931 founding year in its handle and an official Facebook page used for product and corporate announcements.
