ASH builds heavy-duty electric Automated Guided Vehicles for ports. A sub-3-minute battery swap replaces hours of downtime, and an on-board LLM — ASH LLM — chooses the smartest route, swap window and load sequence in real time.
Every ASH AGV is a 30-tonne electric platform tied to a swap network and guided by ASH LLM — our on-board language model that turns terminal context into the next best move.
A reinforced electric drivetrain rated for 30-tonne container moves on continuous duty cycles, day and night, in any weather a port throws at it.
Vehicles dock at a swap station and exchange a depleted pack for a fully charged one in under three minutes — replacing roughly eight hours of conventional charging with a pit-stop.
A purpose-built language model rides on every vehicle, fusing terminal traffic, vessel schedules, weather and battery state to pick the most efficient route, swap window and load sequence.
A fully electric drivetrain removes diesel particulates and CO₂ from the quay — quieter operations for crews living and working around the terminal.
Standardised battery packs share a common form factor across the fleet. Stations, vehicles and packs scale together as terminals grow.
LiDAR, radar, cameras and high-precision GNSS feed a unified perception stack engineered for the dense, mixed-traffic reality of a working terminal.
A central orchestrator choreographs vehicles, swap stations and yard equipment, keeping ship-to-shore moves flowing even at peak.
Sealed electronics, corrosion-resistant materials and thermal management built to live in salt air, monsoon rain and Gulf summer heat.
No shift fatigue, no fuel stops, no charging windows that block a berth. Just continuous moves while the swap network handles energy in the background.
Conventional electric heavy vehicles spend roughly eight hours plugged in to refill. ASH vehicles dock at a swap station, exchange the depleted pack for a charged one and roll back onto the lane in under three minutes. The terminal stops waiting on energy.
Every choice in the ASH stack — heavy payload, swap network, on-board LLM — exists to keep vehicles moving and energy off the critical path.
Sub-three-minute swaps and ASH LLM routing keep the lane full and the berth turning.
Energy lives in the swap station, not in the vehicle's schedule. The fleet keeps working while packs charge in the background.
ASH LLM learns the rhythm of each terminal and keeps refining route, sequence and swap timing as conditions change.
Zero tailpipe emissions and quieter operations near crews, cities and coastlines.
Add vehicles, packs and stations as berth volume grows — the architecture is the same on day one and at full scale.
Fewer assets idling, lower energy cost per move and maintenance modelled into the platform from the start.
Ports should run on moves, not waiting. ASH LLM and the swap network exist so heavy electric autonomy never has to stop for energy.
