Witness another milestone of Shanghai Fanuc.

As a major construction project in Shanghai, Shanghai Fanuc Smart Factory (Phase III) will start construction in 2020. The project covers an area of 431 mu, with a construction area of 300,000 square meters, and a total investment of about 1.58 billion yuan, to build a smart factory integrating research and development, manufacturing, display, sales, system integration and after-sales service.

The introduction of smart factory includes: collaborative robots, mobile robots, digital twins and a large number of advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies. In the representative sheet metal production line, the processing from sheet metal plate to sheet metal finished products is realized. All production materials are scheduled and produced by robots and three-dimensional warehouses. The automation rate of the whole line is more than 95%, and unmanned intelligent production is achieved.
