  1. HIWIN Corporation Announces Upcoming ERP System Upgrade

    Effective May 1st, 2026 

    HIWIN Corporation (US) is pleased to announce that we will be transitioning to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with an anticipated go‑live date of May 1st, 2026. This upgrade reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing operational efficiency, improving data accuracy, and delivering exceptional service to our customers, partners, and vendors. 

    Why We’re Making This Change 

    As our business continues to expand, it is essential that our internal systems evolve to support greater scalability, visibility, and collaboration. Our new ERP system will enable us to: 

    • Streamline and modernize our core operational processes 
    • Strengthen order accuracy and inventory management 
    • Improve communication across our business units and with external partners 
    • Enhance long‑term customer experience and service responsiveness 

    What Stakeholders Can Expect 

    Throughout this transition, our goal is to minimize disruption and maintain the high level of reliability associated with HIWIN Corporation (US). During and shortly after the go‑live period, some stakeholders will notice: 

    • Updated formatting of business documents (purchase orders, order acknowledgements, invoices, packing slips, etc.) 
    • Updated internal item numbering and references, with all provided external cross-references maintained 
    • Brief instances of extended processing times, that will be closely monitored, communicated, and escalated as needed 

    No action is required at this time. We simply ask our customers and vendors to review documents carefully beginning May 1st and to contact their HIWIN representative with any questions. 

    Our Commitment 

    This ERP upgrade represents a significant investment in the future of HIWIN Corporation (US). We are confident that this transition will result in meaningful improvements for all those who work with us—enhancing accuracy, communication, and overall service delivery.

  2. HIWIN Welding Robot: Precision Meets Flexibility

    Welding automation should enhance your workflow, not force you to rebuild it. That’s why HIWIN’s welding robot is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the welding systems and suppliers you already trust — whether that’s Lincoln Electric, Miller, SKS, or others. Instead of starting from scratch, you get a system that combines precision, reliability, and scalability with the freedom to choose what works best for your shop.

    Freedom to Choose

    Every manufacturer has preferred processes, equipment, and partnerships. HIWIN’s open-architecture design ensures you’re not locked into proprietary software or a single supplier. From control systems to welding torches, our robot adapts to your environment, making integration smooth, cost-effective, and aligned with how your team already works.

    Built for Accuracy and Reliability

    With a repeatability of ±0.05 mm, HIWIN’s welding robot sets a high bar for precision. But accuracy is only part of the story. Features like TCP auto-recovery keep production on track by correcting torch misalignment in real time, while the Smart-Weld interface lets operators adjust parameters directly through the control system. Add real-time monitoring and error alerts, and you get consistent weld quality with minimal downtime.

    Seamless Integration

    HIWIN’s robot is designed to work with industry-leading platforms such as Lincoln Electric’s Waveform Control Technology, Miller’s Auto-Set™, and SKS’s spatter-reduction programming. Out of the box, it comes with:

    • Inclusive software with no hidden licensing fees.
    • A single teach pendant to control the robot, external axes, and power supply.
    • Optional sensing technology like laser seam tracking and touch sensing.
    • Expansion options including seventh-axis units and servo tables.

    The result is faster setup, reduced retraining, and a system that grows with your production demands.

    Future-Proof Flexibility

    Manufacturing never stands still. HIWIN’s open-compatibility design means you can upgrade power sources, swap torches, or add new software without replacing your entire system. That flexibility protects your investment and ensures your automation keeps pace with future requirements.

    Why It Matters

    HIWIN’s welding robot delivers practical benefits that impact both productivity and profitability:

    • Shorter lead times with faster integration.
    • Lower costs by leveraging the equipment you already own.
    • Operator familiarity with trusted systems.
    • Scalability to support evolving processes and customer demands.
    • High precision and uptime where consistency matters most.

    Conclusion

    With HIWIN’s welding robot, automation doesn’t come with limits. It brings the precision to meet exacting standards, the flexibility to adapt to your environment, and the scalability to prepare for what’s ahead. That’s how we help manufacturers focus on what matters most: precision, productivity, and profitability — today and tomorrow.
