ZS Robotics , expert in smart intralogistics, will showcase its industry leading 4-way shuttle system – a solution validated through over 200 diverse projects across more than ten countries and regions, at the LogiMAT 2026 from Mar 24 to 26 in Germany.
Highlights of its portfolio include the H125 shuttle, the world’s first 20-wheeled 4-way pallet shuttle, which offers exceptional stability, enhanced battery life, and unparalleled flexibility.
The company aims to empower warehouses across various industries in Europe and the United States with more mature solutions, making intralogistics safer and easier to use.
ZS Robotics says it has a plan to establish a subsidiary in the Netherlands in the second half of this year, providing timely and comprehensive support to European clients.
With over 200 successful project implementations across the globe, ZS Robotics has sharpened its edge in 4-way shuttle warehouse automation solutions tailored to diverse environments and product types across industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cold chain, retail, energy, manufacturing, and 3PL.
The solutions are uniquely aligned with the global push for safer, greener, and more efficient industrial practices amid intensifying space and labor shortages.
“At ZS Robotics, our focus is singular: to solve the last 0.01% of challenges in the deployment and operation of automated warehousing projects using our four-way shuttle technology, relentlessly refining our products to achieve genuine safety and ease of use in warehousing,” said Gianni Girolami, Sales Director, Europe, at ZS Robotics.
ZS Robotics’ technology is reliably applied in over 1,000 4-way shuttles deployed across the globe, serving clients from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
These systems, leveraging ZS Robotics’ key innovations including a cold chain camera system, and advanced cluster scheduling, have effectively eased installation and maintenance, enhance safety and ease of use.
Integrated Hardware and Software Portfolio
ZS Robotics’ key exhibits will be H150 shuttle and its self-developed ZSmart Intelligent Platform (including WCS, WMS, RCS, and control terminals). The company will also highlight the H125 shuttle and the SinglePosition Lift.
“We aim to solve the warehousing challenges of customers across various industries as comprehensively as possible with a more complete, integrated hardware and software product portfolio,” Mr. Girolami stated, emphasising that ZS Robotics has obtained multiple safety compliance certifications, including EU CE.
• The H125 Shuttle: A lightweight and more powerful 4-way shuttle, and industry-unique 20-wheel model. Despite its compact size (L1106×W940×H125mm), it delivers a powerful 1,500 kg load capacity, ensuring exceptional stability and durability in warehouse operations. Key features include enhanced reliability through a 27% higher part integration rate, long-lasting operation with a 50AH battery delivering 10-12 hours of field-validated runtime, and smooth, quiet travel that enables gap crossing with minimal noise and reduced rack wear. The H125 also offers greater modularity for easier maintenance, can be retrofitted into the H150 model to accommodate wooden pallet deflection, and introduces an industry-first innovation: integrated pallet weighing functionality.
• The H150 Shuttle: A mature and highly reliable workhorse, extensively validated across numerous projects for its robust performance.
• Single-Position Lift: A space-efficient in-rack lift that occupies only a single storage position, regardless of location, significantly increasing overall warehouse storage density without layout constraints.
• ZSmart Intelligent Platform: An integrated software suite (including WMS, WCS, and RCS) that leverages advanced algorithms to optimise warehouse efficiency and provide a user-friendly interface for seamless operations.
The “Safety First, Easy Always” Philosophy
ZS Robotics distinguishes itself through a deep commitment to integrating safety and usability into every aspect of its solutions. Based on extensive real-world project experience, the company has developed a series of industry-first innovations.
ZS Robotics has developed a mechanism covering the entire process – from entry, operation, and exit to emergency recovery – to achieve ultimate safety, leveraging mechanical and physical laws.
• Cold Chain Camera System: An innovative dual-camera setup that combats the fogging and frost which can disable traditional single-camera and mirror systems in extreme temperature fluctuations, guaranteeing consistent performance in cold chain environments.
• Mechanical Anti-Fall Lock: To prevent shuttles from falling, ZS Robotics developed a gravity operated mechanical lock that ensures a secure “handshake” between the shuttle and the lift, eliminating the risk of failure associated with electronically controlled barriers.
• Pallet Stopper Device: A pioneering mechanical solution that corrects pallet deviation caused by repeated handling, ensuring smooth and reliable operations.
• Industry-First Charging Safety Chamber: A physical safety mechanism that automatically seals and activates fire suppression within the charging area if temperatures become too high, mitigating the risk of lithium battery thermal runaway at the source.
Regarding ease of use, ZS Robotics has developed a series of innovative applications based on its selfdeveloped algorithms and software, focusing on three dimensions: visibility, stability, and simplicity, featuring:
• Advanced Cluster Scheduling: Proprietary algorithms enable dynamic, optimal path planning for large-scale shuttle fleets, automatically balancing loads across different levels, zones, and equipment without manual intervention, even during peak outbound periods.
• Independent Control Terminal: ZS Robotics has replaced the industry-standard practice of one remote per vehicle with a single tablet that can control multiple shuttles simultaneously, simplifying operations and reducing training time.
• Visualised Warehouse Management: An intuitive 2D/3D real-time rendering interface provides operators with a complete, at-a-glance view of inventory location and equipment status, enabling easier monitoring and control.
• System Reconstruction for Issue Resolution: Instead of relying on traditional log files and code-level debugging, ZS Robotics’ system can reconstruct and replay the exact scenario preceding a problem, allowing operators to quickly identify and resolve root causes.
“These industry-first features reflect our deep understanding of customer needs and the real-world pain points in our industry,” added Mr. Girolami. “The success of a project is often determined by the last 0.01% of details. Our team is dedicated to addressing these specific challenges, ensuring that our users experience genuine safety and ease of use, every day.”
ZS Robotics has established the ZS Academy, a dedicated training platform, and developed a built-in simulation system pre-loaded with scheduling algorithms and parameters.
“We don’t just deliver technology. We empower our customers to master it,” said Mr. Girolami.
