Kangqiao robotics manufacturing centre, China
Name of the Project
Kangqiao robotics manufacturing centre.
Location
Shanghai, China.
Client
ABB.
Project Description
ABB plans to build the world’s most advanced, automated and flexible robotics factory – a cutting-edge centre where robots make robots.
The new factory will feature several machine learning, digital and collaborative solutions to make it the most advanced, automated and flexible factory in the robotics industry, and an on-site research and development centre will help accelerate innovations in artificial intelligence.
Using a new, global design approach, the factory will be able to dramatically increase the type of robots and variants of each type of robot that can be made on site, allowing greater and faster customisation to meet the needs of customers.
The entire factory will be modelled as a digital twin, which will provide intuitively tailored dashboards for management, engineers, operators and maintenance experts to make the best decisions.
The new factory will have an innovative, flexible floorplan based on interlinked islands of automation rather than fixed assembly lines.
