On July 17, 2026, Westwell, a technology company specializing in the industrial application of AI across large-scale logistics scenarios, showcased its full-stack AI-native intelligent logistics ecosystem powered by its Physical AI + Operational AI architecture at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC). Marking its ninth consecutive appearance at the event, the company also unveiled the upgraded ReeWell All-Element Intelligent Scheduling and Operations Management Platform in China for the first time, demonstrating how AI is delivering measurable value across global logistics operations.

Held under the theme "Intelligent Partnership for a Better Future," WAIC 2026 reflects AI's transition into an era of human-machine collaboration and industry-wide empowerment. This year's conference brings together more than 1,100 exhibitors and over 3,000 AI innovations across an exhibition area exceeding 100,000 square meters.

While much of the industry continues to focus on advances in AI models and computing power, Westwell has already validated its AI-native technologies through large-scale commercial deployment worldwide. With solutions designed for practical implementation, scalability and global deployment, the company continues to transform AI innovation into operational value across real-world logistics scenarios.

AI Dual Intelligence to Reshape Global Logistics

Under the theme "AI Dual Intelligence Reshaping Global Logistics," Westwell presented its AI-native logistics ecosystem, integrating intelligent equipment with AI-powered operational intelligence.

At the center of the exhibition were the Q-Truck autonomous electric heavy-duty truck and the upgraded ReeWell All-Element Intelligent Scheduling and Operations Management Platform, which made its first public debut in China. Together, they represent Westwell's Physical AI + Operational AI architecture, enabling logistics systems not only to execute tasks autonomously but also to optimize operations through AI-driven decision-making.

Physical AI is embodied by Westwell's autonomous electric commercial vehicles and intelligent cargo-handling equipment operating across seaports, airports, inland ports, smart factories and intermodal logistics. Operational AI, powered by the upgraded ReeWell All-Element Intelligent Scheduling and Operations Management Platform built on world model and multi-agent decision-making framework, serves as the operational intelligence layer.

Together, Physical AI and Operational AI create a data-driven closed loop. Operational data continuously improves AI decision-making while optimized strategies are delivered back to autonomous equipment in real time, enabling logistics operations to evolve from isolated automation toward system-wide intelligence.

Expanding AI Across Diverse Logistics Scenarios

Westwell's dual intelligence solutions have expanded from seaports to airports, border crossings and smart manufacturing, demonstrating the scalability of the same Physical AI + Operational AI architecture across diverse and complicated logistics environments.

In seaports, Westwell's intelligent logistics solutions are operating in markets including Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Malaysia and Mexico. 70% of the world's top 20 container ports by throughput in 2025 have partnered with Westwell. Ahead of WAIC 2026, Hutchison Ports Port of Felixstowe announced a third order of Westwell Q-Trucks together with a second intelligent battery swapping station, expanding its autonomous fleet to 100 vehicles and creating one of Europe's largest routinely operated autonomous electric truck fleets at a commercial container terminal.

Beyond ports, Westwell's solutions have also been deployed at major airports, including Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal, Hong Kong International Airport, Ezhou Huahu International Airport and Fuzhou Changle International Airport.

Westwell's AI-native technologies have also expanded into cross-border logistics. The company has deployed China's first autonomous cross-border freight transportation project at Ceke Port and supported the implementation of intelligent customs clearance at Mandula Port. According to internal operational data, autonomous vehicles reduce customs gate processing time to less than 30 seconds, shorten one-way transport time by nearly 60% compared with conventional trucks, and improve overall customs clearance efficiency by more than threefold, helping transform border crossings into more efficient logistics hubs.

In smart manufacturing, Westwell powers the a car factory's Zero-Carbon Smart Logistics Hub, where 18 autonomous electric heavy-duty trucks operate alongside intelligent battery swapping stations and automated container storage systems. According to internal operational data, autonomous trucks deliver materials to the welding workshop in approximately eight minutes and to the final assembly workshop in around 11 minutes, supporting up to 32 container deliveries per hour and enabling uninterrupted production through highly automated logistics.

Bringing AI to the Global Stage

As AI adoption accelerates worldwide, Westwell continues to expand its global footprint through a localized strategy that combines proprietary technologies, products and operational services.

Leveraging its proprietary AI, autonomous driving and new energy technologies, the company is supporting customers in building safer, smarter and more sustainable logistics operations.

At Egypt's Red Sea Container Terminal (RSCT), for example, 40 Westwell E-Trucks entered operation in early 2026 as the terminal's first intelligent electric commercial vehicle fleet. Powered entirely by renewable electricity, each vehicle is expected to reduce carbon emissions by up to 50 metric tons annually, contributing to the country's Vision 2030 sustainability goals.

Westwell believes the true value of AI lies in delivering measurable results in real industrial environments. Guided by its long-term "Ainergy (AI + New Energy)" strategy, the company will continue advancing the integration of Physical AI and Operational AI, helping customers build more intelligent, efficient and sustainable logistics operations while accelerating the digital transformation of global supply chains.
