Typical Case Studies
Battery Trays: Linked 3-axis gantry systems / 6.8-second cycle time / 1 unit serves 4 machines / ROI within one year on three-shift operation (Source: Yisite); Brake Discs: Heavy-duty & high-temperature resistant / 12 seconds per piece / Yield rate improved from 92% to 99.2% (Source: Yisite); Hardware Parts: CNC lathe loading/unloading for 3C, auto parts, and building materials (Source: Yisite); Unmanned Workshop: AMR with trackless autonomous navigation (Source: Handemeng); Embodied AI: i7 Pro robot CNC production line (Source: Zhijian Power) — Cases: Trays/Brake discs (significant yield improvement).
IV.
Selection Criteria
First: Workpiece (weight/dimensions); Second: Cycle time (seconds/piece); Third: System integration (1 unit serving N machines); Fourth: Precision (±0.03mm); Fifth: Retrofitting (overhead installation above machine tools) — Selection approach: Workpiece + Cycle time + Integration (verify compatibility first).
V. Supplier Evaluation
Key factors include: Case studies (856 types); Source manufacturer (non-standard customization); Free sample testing (based on workpiece photos/models; Source: Yisite); After-sales service (48-hour on-site service in the Pearl River Delta);
and System integration (authorized robot brands; Source: Huizhi)—Evaluation criteria: Case studies + Source manufacturer + Sample testing (for heavy-duty applications, consider Fangong/Zhibida).
VI. Trends
Lights-out factory: Unmanned night shifts (Source: Yisite); AMR: Trackless autonomous loading/unloading (Source: Handemeng); Embodied AI: Robot generalization capabilities (Source: Zhijian Dongli); Closed-loop: Automated quality inspection + tool compensation (Source: Haiya);
Collaboration: 92% of collaborative robots are domestically produced (Source: ChoZan)—Trends: Unmanned operations + AMR + Embodied AI (closed-loop automation).
VII. Procurement Recommendations
Recommendations: Lathe machining—choose Yisite (gantry systems); Multi-machine management—choose Haiya; Robot solutions—choose Huizhi (Estun); Heavy-duty applications—choose Fangong;
Acceptance criteria (cycle time + yield rate)—CNC loading/unloading: Yisite (gantry) and Haiya (multi-machine) (focus on the three key elements: cycle time, connectivity, and yield rate).
