By 2023, the robot industry in Pudong, Shanghai, China will reach 50 billion yuan. Just a few days ago, "One Valley, One Park" was officially unveiled. "The ABB Super Factory under construction is undoubtedly the most eye-catching as the world’s largest robot "Factory of the Future".
At the third CIIE, ABB, which participated for the third time, brought more than 50 innovative high-tech exhibits from 14 countries around the world to the technology and equipment exhibition area, and revealed the latest progress of this "future factory". Liang Rui, head of ABB’s robotics business department in China, said that the factory is currently progressing as planned and is expected to be put into use as soon as the end of next year is completed. “It looks like it will be either the end of next year or the beginning of the next year, but from the perspective of progress , The possibility of the end of next year is very high."
Under the special circumstances of this year, digital and smart technologies have played a huge role in preventing and controlling the epidemic, and resuming work and production. At the same time, the epidemic has also accelerated the application of smart technologies. The technology demonstrated at the CIIE also allowed the industry to see ABB's strategic layout in these key areas:
You can choose the dial and strap independently. The entire assembly process is completely completed by the robot. It only takes 3 to 4 minutes for the robot arm to assemble your DIY watch.
At this year's CIIE booth, the ABB robot watch assembly "Factory of the Future" demo station was moved to the site, and visitors can observe the "unmanned" and "customized" production line up close.
ABB's HoverGuardTM UAV-borne natural gas leak detection solution is also "world premiere" on the big platform of CIIE. This solution combines ABB's patented laser detection technology, ABB's proprietary leak detection software, mature leak detection algorithms, and Beidou precision services, enabling a part-per-billion (PPB) leak detection technology and a 10-centimeter-level Beidou precise positioning The technology is fully functional to accurately and quickly detect and locate leaks.
The continuous spread of the epidemic around the world has made smart medicine a key area of increasing attention. A large number of nucleic acid testing tasks have posed challenges to manpower, efficiency and safety.
In the ABB medical laboratory pretreatment unit exhibited at this CIIE, the YuMi® collaborative robot with highly flexible dual arms can imitate human hands to complete various complex and delicate operations, and efficiently complete liquid transfer and dispensing in the laboratory , Mixing and microbial cultivation.
In the previous two CIIEs, ABB has signed cooperation agreements with more than 50 companies, effectively promoting innovation cooperation, transformation and upgrading in many fields. On this basis, ABB signed a series of strategic cooperation agreements with Sinopec, Guangzhou Shipyard International and many other companies this year to further deepen cooperation, form synergy and seek common development.
According to Liang Rui, the robots manufactured by ABB's China factory serve both domestically and overseas. After the "Factory of the Future" is put into operation, the annual production capacity will reach 100,000 units. "We are launching the latest and fastest for the Chinese market. The most advanced product."
