About HWArobotics
Twenty years ahead of the aisle.
East Asia runs the most demanding warehouse operations on earth, at volumes and cycles rates that would break most systems. We became the continent’s leading shuttle ASRS provider inside that market, supplying platforms including Samsung, JD and SHEIN.
The engineering that survives East Asia’s peak season does not need softening for anywhere else. That is what we are now taking to North America, Europe and the Middle East, with offices already open in 10 locations.
Why system integrators pick us
Four things we will not compromise.
MATERIAL AND BUILD
Structure is where a shuttle either lasts fifteen years or does not. Ours is Q235B steel at 235 MPa yield minimum, powder coated to RAL 7035, on a chassis carrying sixteen driven wheels. Nothing in the load path is a cost decision.
≥235 MPa yield, specified for continuous duty rather than nominal load
Traction spread across the chassis, not concentrated on two axes
Lithium titanate packs on the tote range, an order above typical
FLEET INTELLIGENCE
Any manufacturer can build a shuttle. The difficulty is a thousand of them deciding at once: routing around congestion, rebalancing before the peak arrives, holding sequence under replenishment load. We write that layer ourselves.
Dispatch, traffic and order logic in one control layer, not three vendors
Positioning to ±3 mm, verified continuously rather than assumed
Chosen for link integrity across a rack full of moving steel
WE BUILD THEM OURSELVES
Two plants, Chuzhou and Thailand, with ten-tonne overhead capacity and our own assembly lines. We are a manufacturer, not an integrator reselling someone else's hardware with a badge on it.
Chuzhou in China and a second facility in Thailand
Contract to delivery on standard configurations
Measured to FEM 9 222, with mean time to repair under 30 minutes
SUPPORT THAT OUTLIVES THE SALE
Automation is a fifteen-year relationship. Ten locations across four continents exist so the engineer who commissions your system is reachable in your timezone for its whole working life.
Four continents, with regional spare parts stock
Health and predictive maintenance across the whole installed base
Most systems go into buildings that are already running
How we got here
From one shuttleto twenty thousand.
- 2007
The first shuttle ships
A single machine into a working warehouse. Everything since has been the same platform, refined against real duty rather than redesigned for a brochure.
- 2007 - 2015
Proving grounds
Chinese e-commerce scaled faster than any warehouse infrastructure in history. Systems that could not hold rate at peak did not survive the decade.
- 2015 - 2022
Number one in China
Leading provider of shuttle ASRS in the domestic market, running at scale for the largest platforms operating there, including JD and SHEIN.
- 2022 - 2025
The platform goes global
Singapore headquarters and subsidiaries opening across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
- 2025 -
20,000 and counting
Ten locations and a platform spanning tote shuttles at 6m/s through to four-directional pallet machines operating at -25℃.
The intelligence layer
How the fleetacts as one.
Hardware is a solved problem. What seperates a system that hits its throughput on paper from one that hits it in December is the software deciding which shuttle moves, when, and in what order.
We develop the control layer against our own hardware rather than integrating someone else’s. When a fork sits 2mm out, it is a mechanical question until it becomes a scheduling one. Owning both is how it gets fixed instead of discussed.
01
Traffic and routing
Congestion avoided before it forms, not resolved after a shuttle is already waiting.
02
Predictive rebalancing
Inventory moved toward the pick face ahead of the peak, not during it.
03
Sequence integrity
First--in-first-out held across a flow rack while it is being replenished behind.
04
Fleet health
Every fault logged and self-diagnosed, so a pattern surfaces before a stoppage does.
Certification
Built to standardchecked by others.
Claims a buyer cannot verify are worth nothing. Every figure below is measured by a published standard or attested by a third party.
CE
Machinery directive
2006/42/EC/ across shuttle and hoist, with conformity verified by SGS across three seperate attestations.
ISO
ISO 14001:2015
Environmental management certified across design, manufacture, installation and maintenance.
FEM
FEM 9.222
System availability measured to the published European standard rather than to an internal definition.
MTTR
Mean time to repair
Under 30 minutes on the pallet platform. Availability without a repair time is only half a claim.
