· Wuling Industrial and ABB Robots work together to improve the manufacturing level of auto parts

On April 16, 2018, Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. (referred to as Wuling Industrial) and ABB Engineering Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as ABB Robot) signed a strategic partnership agreement in Shanghai. Both parties will conduct comprehensive, in-depth and active research in the field of robot application technology. Cooperate to jointly develop robot solutions and promote the application of robotic intelligence technology to improve the level of industrial robot application and the intelligent manufacturing level of auto parts. On the same day, Tu Yi, deputy director of Liuzhou Industrial and Information Technology Committee, Li Weiwei, deputy general manager of Wuling Industry, and Li Gang, president of ABB Robot China, attended the signing ceremony.

According to the consensus reached by both parties, ABB Robotics will provide robotic products, supporting standard equipment and professional equipment and system solutions for Wuling Industrial and its holdings, shares or wholly-owned subsidiaries, involving body automation production lines, motor assemblies, and traditional powertrains. Automotive manufacturing processes such as Chengdu and new energy battery production lines. At the same time, both parties will jointly invest resources to develop new technologies and processes, and actively promote them to the application market.

ABB is the world's leading provider of robotics and solutions, and the first multinational robot company to come to the Chinese market. It is the only company in the world that can provide four major process solutions for automotive manufacturing. The ABB robot and Wuling Industrial Company will establish a comprehensive strategic partnership to provide Wuling Industrial Co., Ltd. with high-quality/high-flexibility auto parts production solutions. It is also a high-level tacit understanding and comprehensive understanding based on the consensus on the direction of intelligent manufacturing. Cooperation is of strategic importance to both parties. Relying on the superior resources of both parties, we will work together to improve the intelligent manufacturing level of the automobile manufacturing industry and gradually realize “Made in China 2025” in the automotive field.

Wuling Industrial Co., Ltd. has a long history of cooperation with ABB robots. For more than a decade, ABB has provided a number of robotic solutions for applications such as spot welding, arc welding and bumper coating for the Wuling, Qingdao and Chongqing bases of Wuling Industrial. The establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Wuling Industrial and ABB Robotics is a further deepening of the cooperation between the two parties. Wuling Industrial will work with ABB Robotics to develop and expand robotic application technology and work together to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing in China!
