Micropolis Signs Agreement with Helsingborgs Hamn AB and MCS Robotics to Develop and Test the 'Box Cleaner' Robot
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micropolis Holding Co. ("Micropolis" or the "Company") (NYSE:MCRP), a pioneer in unmanned ground vehicles and AI-driven security solutions, today announced it has signed an agreement with Helsingborgs Hamn AB, a Swedish shipping and container handling company, and MCS Robotics AB, a Swedish robotics company, to jointly develop and test the ‘Box Cleaner', an autonomous robotic cleaning system designed for port and industrial environments.
The Box Cleaner represents a new generation of industrial service robots built on the Micropolis M2 platform and powered by the Company's proprietary control systems, AI-driven navigation, and edge-computing architecture. The robot is designed to operate autonomously for extended periods, performing precision cleaning while reducing water usage, energy consumption, and labor costs. The trial will provide valuable operational data to enhance the robot's performance ahead of planned commercial rollouts across European and Middle Eastern markets.
The collaboration aims to validate the Box Cleaner's capabilities in real-world port operations at Helsingborgs Hamn in Sweden, one of Scandinavia's most technologically advanced and sustainability-driven ports. The trial will focus on optimizing the robot's performance in outdoor and semi-industrial conditions, including large, paved surfaces and container areas.
"This partnership with two renowned Swedish companies in the robotics and marine logistics space, demonstrates how international collaboration can accelerate the deployment of practical robotic solutions," said Fareed Aljawhari, Founder and CEO of Micropolis Robotics. "Working alongside Helsingborgs Hamn AB and MCS Robotics allows us to validate our technologies in one of Europe's leading ports, while simultaneously aligning with the global shift toward smart, sustainable operations."
Through this initiative, Micropolis, Helsingborgs Hamn AB, and MCS Robotics aim to advance sustainable innovation in port management and industrial cleaning operations, setting a benchmark for future automation technologies that enhance safety, productivity, and environmental efficiency.
