Robots are known as the jewel at the top of the manufacturing crown. In Shanghai, there are not only car super factories where hundreds of robots are busy building cars on the production line; there are also robot super factories where robots are used to produce robots.
In the Shanghai STEP Robot Super Factory located in Jiading District, robots operate precisely on the production line: assembling parts, transporting materials, testing products. Among the three production lines, one small-load robot automatic production line is the most eye-catching, that is, comprehensive use . A number of intelligent manufacturing technologies carry out process decomposition, customized assembly logistics lines and tooling, so as to realize robot manufacturing robots. It is worth mentioning that the robots used for this production line are also from STEP.
In February 2022, 5 smart factories in Shanghai were rated as national-level smart manufacturing pilot demonstration factories. As the first robot-manufacturing robot smart factory in Shanghai to be put into operation, STEP Robotics Super Factory ranks among them, with an annual production capacity of 10,000. Industrial robots are used in 3C electronics, welding, palletizing, rubber tires and other industrial fields.
As a major city of robotics in China, Shanghai is striving to become the first city in the world to publish a robot density index. Behind the courage and courage to be the first is Shanghai's years of intensive work in the field of intelligent manufacturing. A series of policies, technology, talents, capital and other elements have been linked together to form a chain and circle, and are constantly reborn.
