Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao reported that STEP and many other well-known high-tech companies in Shanghai are making continuous efforts to fight the epidemic and ensure orderly production with the support of various government departments.
Intelligent manufacturing to ensure production contribution
STEP has obtained special approval for closed production in its factory in Shanghai, and the production lines of its robot Gigafactory and SIGRINER Motor Factory are in good order. The head of STEP told Ta Kung Pao that as early as soon after the outbreak of the epidemic, the company had purchased production materials for storage and storage of epidemic prevention materials in advance to ensure the smooth production and the safety of employees.
In order to cope with emergencies, STEP made emergency response plans in the early stage of the epidemic for routine, on-site and containment, and purchased basic support materials and emergency protection materials in advance. In order to understand the status and actual needs of on-site employees, the company also established emergency communication channels for on-site employees, and distributed basic living materials such as masks and laundry detergent to employees. It also provides the basic guarantee for the diversified needs of the resident staff.
It has the first "robot made robot" intelligent gigafactory in Shanghai. This gigafactory also played an important role during the epidemic period. Because intelligent robots are used to make robot production lines, the number of employees is reduced by 90% compared with ordinary factories. It also shows that intelligent manufacturing is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 and stable production.
