(Zhejiang Guozi Robotics Co.:  Hangzhou, China) -- Recently, Hithium’s manufacturing plant in Texas has achieved “mass production and delivery.” Guozi Robotics provided the factory with a full-scenario integrated, flexible production and logistics-handling solution that supports the construction of Hithium’s plantwide intelligent logistics system. After an investment of nearly $200 million, the facility spans 480,000 sq ft  and will have an annual production capacity of 10 GWh of battery modules and systems.

Guozi Robotics has supplied Hithium with more than 100 intelligent logistics robots, including reach truck AGVs, ministacker robots, underride lifting robots, and heavy-duty transport robots. Additionally, it provides supporting equipment like high-bay racking, electrically controlled buffer racks, overhead cranes, and automatic doors, while implementing multiple equipment-link upgrades.

ANTS AGV is engaged in automated transport operations.

Leveraging a multinavigation fusion technology that integrates vision and LiDAR, Guozi Robotics’ reach truck AGV achieves a load capacity of 1.2 tons and a lifting height of 7 m, while maintaining a high docking accuracy of ±10 mm for storage positions. It can automatically interface with material carts, product fixture carts, and production line machinery, performing tasks such as material distribution along the production line and product assembly within the line.

The heavy-duty transport robot boasts a load capacity of 60 tons and a positioning accuracy of ±10 mm. All robots in this project series have obtained UL certification.

In an innovative approach, Guozi Robotics adopted an integrated delivery model to overcome numerous challenges previously faced in large-scale, overseas intelligent-logistics projects, such as cargo transfer and engineering commissioning. The company conducted integrated debugging and testing of logistics robots, equipment, production lines, and docking systems in China following the onsite planning process. 

Upon completion, the entire logistics system—along with partners’ modules, PACK production lines, and containerized prefabricated cabin production lines—was packaged and shipped as a whole to the overseas project site, ready for immediate deployment. This approach shortened the overall implementation cycle by 30% compared to similar projects, enabling rapid commissioning.

Since launching its global operations in 2016, Guozi Robotics has expanded its business to multiple countries and regions across North America, South America, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. The company has delivered large-scale application cases in more than 10 industries, including e-commerce, automotive manufacturing, construction machinery, and retail, accumulating extensive overseas application experience.
