Repost: Automation is no longer a new term; what are the new technologies in automated production lines over the past year? The article lists 10 notable factories, most of which are based in China. If there is any additional information regarding the gold powder, please leave a comment below~1 GM Jinqiao Factory in Shanghai: 386 robots. The image shows the GM Jinqiao Factory in Shanghai. It is known as China’s most advanced manufacturing plant, a model of smart manufacturing in China. Even on a global scale, there are no more than 5 factories at this level. In that large workshop, there were only a little over 10 workers who actually received salaries. They manage 386 robots and work with them to produce 80 Cadillacs per day. In the “hands” of each robot, the arduous welding task resembles a dance, filled with strength and mechanical beauty. http://p9.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/ef95dbde0c394c6baa36fdc3f8ec94a8* ^0 A; t, g! q+ " k3 j5 c; ^1 H.

Z3 G# 2 Alibaba’s unmanned warehouses: Nowadays, Alibaba is gradually bringing Chinese technology to the international stage. In the eyes of foreigners, Alibaba’s Alipay and Cainiao Logistics have become truly impressive symbols of Chinese innovation. The video below provides a comprehensive overview of Alibaba’s unmanned warehouse. After reading it, can you tell how many domestic robot unicorns are gathered in Alibaba’s unmanned warehouses? 3 JD.com’s “Asia No.1” unmanned warehouse: http://p3.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/561748e3592943c79b6a357a9d1ed0a4 ! _' U& l6 G; J1 y t http://p1.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/de852ee629fe45dc9f0af19a81d516280 _' X$ t, M8 8 V! ^; E4 k* ]" f4 \3 k% z8 I The “Asia No.1” unmanned warehouse was featured in the documentary “Powerful Machines of a Great Nation”. As early as the end of June this year, JD.com already had 27 unmanned warehouses of different capacities in operation, which enabled the company’s daily order processing capacity to increase by 1415% on a year-on-year basis. “During the 11.11 shopping festival, JD.com put into use 50 unmanned warehouses of different sizes, located in various cities across the country including Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. Shanghai’s \"Asia No.1\" warehouse has become a key pillar for JD Logistics’ business development in the East China region. Whether it is order processing capacity or the overall compatibility of automated equipment, the \"Asia No.1\" unmanned warehouse is at the leading level in the industry. 4 Revolutionary German inventions: Celluveyor. Germany’s strength in automation is recognized worldwide. Well, the imaginative Germans simply shook things up by abandoning the conveyor belts that had been in use for over 200 years, and replacing them with this innovative device shown in the video – the Celluveyor. http://p9.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/2331d6e1ba5e45f39ceab7e613bec3c9 ( d* G5 r3 Q.

Who says Germans are rigid? In the world of automation, it never stops surprising you! 5. In the automated air-conditioning production line factory worth six hundred million, robots arrange the goods neatly onto driverless trucks; after being transported to the container port, robot cranes then load these goods onto driverless freight ships, which carry them to the designated locations, thereby enabling fully automated operations throughout the entire supply chain. Such an efficient and impressive level of automation – do you think it’s worth 600 million? 6 A close look at the production facilities of “Lao Gan Ma”: The beloved by people around the world, “Lao Gan Ma” not only has an excellent taste but also features advanced automation levels. In the animated video, the production line is operating in an orderly manner; one can even smell the spicy aroma through the screen. In the production of industrial foods, standardization and consistency are of great importance. Organic vegetable oil, high-quality chili peppers, the right temperature for heating the oil, and the cooking time – these factors, all part of a formula kept as a trade secret, ensure the consistent taste of Lao Gan Ma. http://p3.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/6b4aa25b09e34b63aa22952deddf5b9f( Y# a9 g’ N.

Over the years, Foxconn has been gradually and steadily advancing production automation, with a goal of achieving 30% automation rate in its Chinese factories by 2020. Although we cannot see the scene with our own eyes, we can still appreciate the amazing charm of automation through the videos. A look inside the “unmanned dumpling factory”: This stunningly futuristic unmanned production facility is the manufacturing plant of a frozen dumpling factory in China. There are no workers bent over making dumplings here; instead, there are robotic arms moving back and forth, along with neatly arranged tracks on the surface. Previously, the entire factory required 200 workers, but now less than 20 workers are needed to produce the same products, which means that \"workerless factories\" can reduce the workforce by up to 90%. http://p1.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/fd78cccadfe641b88d0d598d7b9f5b3c, l3 c% c& A2 D" D4 `3 w ( u6 X4 `; W5 w7 R# s M http://p3.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/484bd487f3ad487bb4d56ce9dfb5da3c% t" V W+ { A9 w0 f2 C , f- c+ l" j0 n% r' z! {1 K+ @ http://p9.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/b6d5a546d7014092987812ffc29c04a9 9 Li Qun Automation: China’s first automated football production line. Do you still remember this year’s exciting World Cup? The footballs used in this competition are no longer manufactured manually; they are produced by China’s first automated football production line designed by Li Qun Automation. This automated cutting machine replaces traditional die-cutting, an automated printer takes the place of conventional screen printing, and robotic arms are used in place of manual handling. Each ball also comes with a QR code that contains information such as the time and location of its production. http://p1.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/1af6f624dad140fa847e21c76ee01750 $ i7 C' N4 f1 F7 x/ ]' F/ u http://p1.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/549ebe41515e4a5b98792502407f271a' W& c, T2 |) ~4 L0 \! } ! h. l+ J, K$ G http://p1.pstatp.com/large/pgc-image/40cfd5de6e504080b6b5276312d3c03e* Z/ h w" I8 J ( _% K+ v) z" A- g 10 Eft: The first car body produced at BAIC’s South African factory was successfully assembled on July 24, 2018, at 20:00 Beijing time.
