EliteGear HQ recently hosted a business delegation to its parent company’s advanced manufacturing facilities in Changzhou, China, bringing together Australian industry representatives to explore the latest developments in smart warehousing and automation technologies.
The September visit marked an important milestone in fostering collaboration between the Australian and Chinese logistics industries, providing participants with a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insights into modern intralogistics systems and operational best practices. Delegates joined EliteGear HQ representatives for detailed technical tours, live demonstrations, and knowledge exchange sessions at STON Robot, a leading manufacturer of automated storage and retrieval solutions and a pioneer in gantry robotics. The visit also included discussions on system integration, warehouse management optimisation, and flexible automation strategies tailored for diverse industrial applications.
During the tour, delegates observed a range of advanced systems in operation, including SLR gantry robots, ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems), and modular warehouse management software. These demonstrations highlighted how intelligent robotics and automation technologies can significantly improve operational efficiency, optimise warehouse space utilisation, enhance storage density, and elevate workplace safety. Delegates were particularly impressed by the ability of these systems to handle heavy-duty loads, high-volume operations, and complex storage configurations, all while maintaining accuracy and reliability.
In addition to on-site visits, EliteGear HQ conducted three live-stream sessions from the factory — two for Sydney-based audiences and one for Melbourne — enabling more Australian businesses to experience the next-generation heavy-duty, high-density warehousing solution in action. The company’s intelligent robotics technology allows factories in Australia to perform safe and efficient night-time operations, reduce labour requirements, and significantly improve productivity and operational safety. The live demonstrations showcased how automation can deliver measurable cost savings while maintaining high safety standards, even in challenging high-volume environments.
“Our goal is to bridge proven engineering expertise from China with the growing demand for advanced warehouse automation in Australia,” said a spokesperson from EliteGear HQ. “The visit allowed participants to see first-hand the scale, reliability, and innovation behind our systems, and how these solutions can be tailored to meet local operational requirements. We aim to provide Australian businesses with practical, scalable, and intelligent automation solutions that enhance competitiveness and efficiency.”
EliteGear HQ continues to combine advanced manufacturing capabilities with local market insight, supporting Australian businesses seeking innovative, reliable, and adaptable warehouse automation solutions. The company also welcomes industry professionals interested in first-hand, on-site factory visits to explore intelligent warehousing technologies.
