HGTECH's laser equipment arm, founded in Wuhan in 1997, offering an AI laser weeding robot that targets weed meristems with 99% stated recognition accuracy.
Wuhan Huagong Laser Engineering Co., Ltd. (HG Laser) was established in 1997 as the laser equipment R&D brand of Huagong Technology (HGTECH), the Wuhan-based industrial group listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The company describes itself as a provider of laser intelligent equipment, automated production lines and smart factory solutions. The company reports about 3,000 employees, operates close to 100 overseas offices, holds national high-tech enterprise status, runs an enterprise technology center and a provincial key laboratory for advanced laser manufacturing, and has led national standard drafting while taking part in international standard work.
HG Laser's core catalogue covers laser marking, laser cutting, laser welding, laser cleaning, laser heating and laser ablation equipment, metal 3D printing, inspection systems, and automated production lines. It also provides contract process services such as laser welding, laser cladding, laser quenching and laser 3D printing.
Its agricultural robotics entry is the All-Day Intelligent Laser Weeding Robot, listed on the HG Laser product site. The machine fires a laser at a weed's meristem (growth tissue); the heat vaporizes cell fluid so the cells rupture and the plant cannot regrow, removing weeds without herbicides or soil contact. The listing states 99% weed recognition accuracy and 24-hour operation. Recognition runs on an AI model hosted on an edge computing platform; a self-developed laser control system and dynamic aiming algorithm allow shooting while the machine moves; a multi-source fused positioning system handles navigation; and a terrain-adaptive chassis carries the payload over uneven ground. Two versions are offered: a self-powered unit (Laserweed A4) and an externally powered control-box assembly that can be ganged in multiple units, with further options configurable to customer needs. The product page names Harbin Huagong Zhiyun Technology Co., Ltd. as the supplier of the robot. Science and Technology Daily reported in July 2026 that the Harbin team's laser weeding robot had completed 170 mu of work at a frozen green bean base in Shuangcheng District, Harbin, and more than 1,000 mu of trials on soybean and corn bases in Heilongjiang.
Headquarters are in the Huagong Technology Intelligent Manufacturing Future Industrial Park in the Donghu New Technology Development Zone, Wuhan, Hubei Province.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
Laser weeding robot that uses AI vision to hit weed meristems, non-contact and herbicide-free, for 24-hour operation.
