Armstrong Fluid Technology Highlights 'Intelligent Design and Energy-Efficient Technology' at BEX Asia 2026
SINGAPORE, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Armstrong Fluid Technology, a global leader in intelligent, energy-saving fluid-flow and whole-building mechanical solutions, is showcasing its latest HVAC solutions for the Asia-Pacific building sector at BEX Asia, the region's leading green building and sustainability exhibition, this week at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This year's booth experience centers on a clear, customer-driven theme: intelligent design and energy-efficient technology. Visitors can explore Armstrong solutions at the Canada National Pavilion throughout the show.
As buildings across Asia face increasing performance, efficiency, and decarbonization demands, Armstrong is demonstrating how intelligent design and system-level optimization empower architects, consulting engineers, contractors, and specifiers to deliver more efficient, better-performing HVAC systems.
Intelligent Design
Integrated Designer, a powerful capability within Armstrong's ADEPT selection tool, anchors the Intelligent Design experience, simplifying the selection and sizing of systems and related equipment from a single interface. Visitors will see how integrated selection and system design in one workflow, real-time system performance estimates, and one-click export of equipment schedules and submittal packages reduce manual calculations and support faster, more confident decisions.
Energy-Efficient Technology
Design Envelope Permanent Magnet (DEPM) IVS4380 pumps, Armstrong's system-level optimization technology, anchors the Energy-Efficient Technology experience. HVAC systems spend roughly 90 percent of their operating hours at part load, yet many buildings are still designed around peak-demand assumptions. Design Envelope optimizes entire systems rather than individual components, using sensorless parallel pumping to keep equipment within its preferred operating region as demand shifts through the day. Performance Envelopes with best-efficiency staging versus traditional duty-standby configurations show how redundancy can be right-sized to each building — aligned with ASHRAE guidance, from around 70 percent for typical commercial buildings to up to 100 percent for mission-critical facilities such as data centres. A 3D-printed model of the Design Envelope 4300 will bring the technology to life at the booth.
"Buildings don't run at full load, and systems for them shouldn't be designed as if they do," said Ashok Joshi, Managing Director, India & APAC, Armstrong Fluid Technology. "Integrated Designer and Design Envelope give engineers and building owners a way to right-size their systems from day one, cutting energy use and equipment costs without compromising redundancy or reliability."
Together, these experiences demonstrate how Armstrong's intelligent design and energy-efficient technologies deliver measurable value for architects, consulting engineers, contractors, and building owners across the region. BEX Asia attendees are invited to meet with Armstrong experts for technical discussions, solution demonstrations, and one-to-one performance consultations at the Canada National Pavilion.

Armstrong Intelligent Solutions Drive Energy-Efficient Building Design
Three-level pallet storage combined with a single-position lift unlocks greater storage value within limited building height
TOKYO, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As land costs continue to rise and demand for warehouse automation grows, making better use of limited building height has become an increasingly important consideration for warehouse operators.
ZS Robotics, a smart warehousing robotics company, introduces a high-density storage solution designed for warehouses with a building height of approximately 5.5 meters in Japan. Through space optimization, safety-focused engineering and local service support, the solution is designed to help existing warehouses overcome the constraints of limited vertical space.
Three-Level Storage: Unlocking More Potential from Limited Height
Many existing warehouses in Japan operate within building heights of around 5.5 meters. Under such height constraints, conventional configurations may allow only one or two levels of pallet storage, making higher storage density a key challenge for warehouse upgrades.
To address this, ZS Robotics has optimized its core equipment and rack-level configuration to enable three-level pallet storage, maximizing the use of available vertical space. The solution also incorporates seismic-resistant racking to meet the requirements of the Japanese market.
At the core of the solution are two pieces of equipment working together.
The first is the ZS-H125 four-way pallet shuttle, which features an ultra-low 125 mm profile for height-constrained warehouses. Its 15 sensing elements support precise positioning, proactive alerts and dynamic obstacle avoidance, while the 20-wheel drive system reduces rack-rail stress by 30% and improves stability across rail transitions. A 50 Ah battery provides 10–12 hours of continuous operation, with reliable performance in temperatures down to -25°C.
The second is the single-position lift, which occupies just one pallet position per level and can save approximately eight pallet positions per level compared with conventional lift configurations. The lift supports no-pit installation, reducing the first-level height requirement by more than 100 mm. Its self-developed mechanical blocking module prevents the shuttle from falling even in the event of a power or network failure.
Both pieces of equipment feature a 90% modular design, allowing core components to be replaced in as little as five minutes. This enables on-site personnel to carry out routine maintenance without relying on specialized engineers. ZS Robotics has also established a local spare-parts warehouse and professional service team in Japan, providing standard SLA-based response services and after-sales support of up to 10 years.
Japan Market: 10 Projects Completed and Nearly 80 Units Deployed
To date, ZS Robotics has completed 10 projects in Japan, deploying nearly 80 units of equipment across Honshu and Kyushu, with a total operating area exceeding 7,565 square meters. These deployments span industries including automotive, food and seasonings, printed products, cleaning supplies and daily consumer goods, making Japan one of ZS Robotics' most established overseas markets.
Globally, ZS Robotics has completed more than 250 projects across Asia, South America, North America and Oceania, with over 1,000 four-way pallet shuttles deployed. Since the beginning of 2026, overseas projects have accounted for 50% of the company's total projects.
LTT 2026: Three Core Products Make Their Joint Debut
At Logis-Tech Tokyo 2026, taking place from September 8 to 11, ZS Robotics will showcase its latest technologies at Booth E7-W23. The exhibition will feature the global debut of the single-position lift and the complete high-density storage solution for 5.5m-high warehouses, alongside the Asia debut of the ZS-H125 four-way pallet shuttle.
The ZSmart intelligent software platform will also be on display, demonstrating how hardware and software work together to support high-density automation in height-constrained warehouses.
