On the morning of June 5, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Eston-Cruise Robot South China R&D and Production Base Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Eston South China Regional Headquarters") was held in Beijiao Town, Shunde District, Foshan City. This is a new addition to the Robot Industry-City Integrated Development Zone, one of the "Double Engines" of Shunde Beijiao Robot Valley Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park in the "Double Ten Park", after the second phase of KUKA was put into operation.

Relying on the huge manufacturing base and driven by the world's leading robot projects, from intelligent manufacturing system integration to robot body manufacturing, and then to the R&D and manufacturing of core components and expanding the application of industrial robots... Shunde's entire robot industry chain is local As robotization becomes increasingly mature, a robot industry highland with world influence is accelerating its rise.

South China "Bridgehead"

According to reports, the project party Nanjing Estun Automation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Eston") was established in 1993. Its core business is automation core components and motion control systems, industrial robots and intelligent manufacturing systems.

According to last year's MIR Rui Industrial "2022 China Industrial Robot Market Annual Report", in the ranking of domestic robot manufacturers' shipments, Eston has entered the top ten global industrial robot brands in the Chinese market shipments for 4 consecutive years, and That year, its shipments surpassed ABB for the first time, ranking first domestically and fifth globally, becoming the "first camp" in the global robot industry.

In September 2021, at the Shunde Robot Industry Investment Promotion Conference, Eston and its joint-stock company Guangzhou China Machinery Robot Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. respectively won the land parcels located in the southern area of the Tanzhou Convention and Exhibition Area of Shunde in Sanlong Bay. Two The project covers a total area of 70 acres, with a total planned investment of over 400 million yuan.

Among them, Eston's South China regional headquarters covers an area of about 20 acres and will build the South China regional headquarters corporate base. It will jointly build a robot (South China) technology center with its wholly-owned European welding robot leader Cruise, and actively develop The market for welding robots, Eston robots and servo products in South China promotes the development of the entire industry chain from industrial robots to system integration.

"Since the establishment of the company 30 years ago, we have continued to help traditional labor-intensive production lines intelligently transform and upgrade, and help the manufacturing industry move toward high-quality development." Eston President Wu Kan said that Eston South China started construction in Beijiao this time. The regional headquarters will become Eston's "bridgehead" in South China, and will work together with the Nanjing head office to play the leading role of "dual headquarters".

Over 300 regulated enterprises in the district

Use Robot

"Choose Beijiao to set up Eston South China R&D and production base and build the headquarters in South China. In addition to Beijiao's location advantages, convenient transportation and industrial foundation, we also value Beijiao's excellent business environment." Wu Kan said, The project has received care and help from functional departments at all levels in the district and town, and has done a lot of promotion and promotion with the help of the government. “This has strengthened our confidence in investment and development in Beijiao.”

“Beijiao Robot Valley has a strong production atmosphere and the upstream and downstream supply chains are gathered together. Eston’s choice of Beijiao this time is not only a recognition of Beijiao’s business environment and industrial development, but also further strengthens the relationship between Shunde and Beijiao.” We are determined to strengthen the robot industry." Tang Leijing, member of the Standing Committee of the Shunde District Committee, Minister of the United Front Work Department, and Secretary of the Party Committee of Beijiao Town, said that after years of cultivation, Foshan Sanlong Bay Tanzhou Convention and Exhibition South Area with Beijiao as the core has been built into a robot production core base. At present, the area has gathered eight major robot industry projects, and the total sales revenue is expected to exceed 12 billion yuan when it reaches full production.

In fact, Beijiao's "magnificent turn" from a home appliance town and a strong manufacturing town to a strong technology town is the epitome of Shunde's increased efforts to develop the robot industry and accelerate the formation of a 100-billion-level industrial cluster. According to statistics, as of October last year, more than 300 regulated companies in Shunde were using robots. The Shunde Intelligent Robot Industry Cluster has more than 80 companies engaged in robot production or supporting, and has become an important gathering place for robot integrated system solutions in South China.

As leading domestic and foreign robot companies such as KUKA and Eston have settled in, according to Tao Yuanming, secretary-general of the Shunde Robot Association, the world-influential robot industry is accelerating to take shape in Shunde, which will not only bring a large number of new Technology and high-end talents will also help the local area form a "grass, shrub, and tree" ecosystem around the robotics industry, drive and nurture more industries to reach 100 billion, and inject strong new development momentum into the high-quality development of the industry.
