Elite Robots

Officially Suzhou Elite Robot Co., Ltd., Elite Robots was founded in 2016 by professors from Beihang University's Robotics Institute. The company is a high-tech enterprise with headquarters in Shanghai's Zhangjiang AI Robot Valley and an 11,000-square-metre R&D and manufacturing centre in Suzhou. Collaborative robots (cobots) are the specialism. The EC Series carries payloads from 3 to 16 kg with reach up to 1,900 mm, while the CS Series handles payloads up to 25 kg with IP65/IP68 ratings - both designed for palletizing, assembly, inspection, welding, and machine tending. More than 10,000 units have been deployed across more than 40 countries, serving automotive, electronics, logistics, and metal processing customers. Innovation runs deep, with 50% of the workforce in R&D, proprietary hardware and software, and compliance with ISO 10218-1 and ISO 13849-1 safety standards. The cobots are designed for intuitive programming, high expandability (Ethernet/IP, Profinet), and a 100,000-hour MTBF for reliability and cost-effectiveness. Offices in the USA, Germany, and Japan, plus partnerships with global brands, round out the operation.
