According to reports, the total investment of ABB Robot Super Factory has a total investment of 150 million US dollars (about 1.1 billion yuan) and an area of 67,000 square meters. It is the largest global robotic R & D, production and application base in ABB. 

An Shiming, an ABB robot and discrete automation global president, introduced "The future, more than 90%of our products sold in China will be produced here. 

Here we will support us to provide Chinese customers with more local manufactured products, solutions and services. ","

Industry insiders have analyzed that robots have become the core equipment of intelligent manufacturing and a strategic area for global industrial technology upgrades. 

The accelerated development of the robot industry will further promote digital transformation of industries such as manufacturing.

It is reported that the new R & D center of the ABB Robot Super Factory covers an area of about 8,000 square meters.

 It will accelerate ABB's innovation in artificial intelligence, digitalization and software, focusing on independent movement, digital twin, machine vision and other fields. Safe and easier to use robots.

The Shanghai Super Factory is another key project of ABB Robotic and Discrete automation.

"With the opening of the super factory, we can further meet the surge in automation in the Chinese market, especially in emerging fields such as new energy vehicle manufacturing, wearable intelligent electronic equipment, catering, medical and health," Liang Rui said.

Why does ABB attach great importance to layout in China?

In fact, ABB has developed in China for 30 years, and has been called the four major robot manufacturers in the world with Japan, German KMC, and Antichawa Motor in Japan. 

The second largest market for ABB robots in the world is China. Last year, the total revenue of ABB robotic business was US $ 32.97 million, of which the revenue in the Chinese market was 956.13 million US dollars, an increase of 31.56%year -on -year.

In February 2021, ABB launched a new generation of collaborative robots GOFA and Swifti to further expand its collaborative robot product portfolio. At that time Confidence in the development of China.

ABB predicts that by 2025, global robotic sales will increase from the current $ 80 billion to $ 130 billion. China is one of the important growth areas.

It is understood that this is not an ordinary factory. 

The super factory connects the real world with the digital world, creates a digital manufacturing ecosystem, and uses virtual plans and production management systems to improve performance and production efficiency by collecting and analyzing data.

The super factory also abandoned the traditional and fixed assembly lines, replaced by flexible, modular production units, and realized digital interconnection, providing services by smart autonomous mobile robots. 

In simple terms, this is a factory that produces robots with robots.
