About Hirata Corporation
Hirata designs and builds production systems, industrial robots and factory-automation equipment for automotive, semiconductor, display, appliance and electronics manufacturers. Its systems combine transfer, assembly, inspection and process equipment into integrated lines rather than treating each robot as a standalone machine.
The product range includes atmospheric and vacuum wafer-handling robots, load ports, controller units and component robots alongside vehicle powertrain and electronics assembly equipment. Hirata manages engineering, manufacturing, installation and commissioning for customer factories and supports the resulting lines through service and upgrades across an international operating network.
