Amid the global wave of accelerated transformation towards intelligence and automation in manufacturing, the ABB Robotics Super Factory stands as an industry benchmark, leading the way in advanced manufacturing with cutting-edge technologies and lean management. Last week, the HAIPART team, driven by a passion for technological innovation, embarked on an immersive visit to this intelligent manufacturing base located in [Add specific location, e.g., "Shanghai Lingang Industrial Zone"], diving deep into cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and experiencing the production strength and technical charm of a world-leading robotics enterprise firsthand.
On the afternoon of the visit, HAIPART team members arrived at the ABB Robotics Super Factory on time and completed the check-in process with the warm reception of the staff. Unlike the heavy industrial feel of traditional factories, the entrance area of this super factory is filled with a sense of technology — digital electronic screens roll in real-time with the factory’s core operational data, from order delivery cycles to Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Every indicator intuitively demonstrates the transparency and refinement of intelligent manufacturing.
Subsequently, led by professional guides, the team ventured into the factory’s core production areas and digital exhibition hall. Entering the production workshop, the first thing that catches the eye is the highly automated production lines: multiple ABB IRB series robots wave their robotic arms flexibly, accurately completing processes such as component grabbing, assembly, and welding. The entire process requires no manual intervention, with errors controlled within millimeters. What’s even more impressive is the closed-loop model of "robots building robots" — the robots on the production line not only manufacture other robots but also real-time monitor their own performance through built-in sensors. Once an abnormality is detected, they automatically trigger maintenance alerts, greatly improving production efficiency and product qualification rates.
In the digital exhibition hall, the team gained a deeper understanding of ABB Robotics’ application scenarios across various industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronic semiconductors, food and beverage, and logistics and warehousing through interactive forms like 3D visualization models and VR simulation operations. For example, in the simulation of an automotive welding workshop scenario, ABB robots complete high-precision welding in complex body structures through laser navigation and force control technology. Compared with traditional manual welding, efficiency is increased by more than 3 times, and welding quality is more stable. In the chip handling scenario of the electronics industry, ABB collaborative robots can work closely with workers through human-robot collaboration technology, completing the handling and assembly of precision components while ensuring safety, addressing the dual needs of "high precision" and "flexible production" in the electronics manufacturing industry.
In terms of cutting-edge robotics technology, both parties focused on hot topics such as collaborative robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), and the integration of artificial intelligence with robots. ABB experts mentioned that current collaborative robots have evolved from "safe collaboration" to "intelligent collaboration". Equipped with AI vision systems, robots can independently identify workpiece types, adjust operation parameters, and even understand workers’ gesture commands, truly achieving "human-robot collaboration and efficient coordination". Meanwhile, AMRs break the reliance of traditional AGVs on fixed tracks through SLAM navigation and multi-robot scheduling technology, enabling them to independently plan paths and avoid obstacles in complex workshop environments, meeting the dynamic needs of flexible production. Combining their practices in [Add HAIPART’s business field, e.g., "precision component manufacturing" or "industrial automation equipment R&D"], the HAIPART team raised questions such as "compatibility between robots and existing production lines" and "automated solutions for small-batch and multi-variety production scenarios". ABB experts provided professional answers one by one and shared multiple successful cases in similar industries, offering practical references for HAIPART’s future technological upgrades.
In addition, both parties reached a consensus on the future trends of manufacturing automation: with the in-depth advancement of "Industry 4.0", robots will no longer be isolated production tools but will be deeply integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence to form an "intelligent factory operating system", realizing the leap from "automation" to "autonomy". Future factories will not only be able to independently complete production tasks but also automatically adjust production plans, optimize supply chains according to changes in market demand, and even predict equipment failures and perform preventive maintenance, truly achieving an "unmanned, self-deciding" intelligent production model.
