Siasun Robot and Automation Co Ltd, a major robotics technology company, recently exported more than 100 robots to Europe, a significant step in the company's efforts to integrate with the burgeoning new energy manufacturing sector across the continent.
Exports cover three main categories — mobile robots including its V-groove forklifts, over 300 sets of buffer rack equipment and 400 docking stations. Most of the robots are destined for factories in France, the company said.
The robots will help to improve efficiency in battery handling and logistics, particularly for new energy companies.
The Shenyang, Liaoning province-based company is also preparing products for a battery factory in the United Kingdom.
"These orders are garnered with our long-term focus and technological advancement in the new energy sector. It demonstrates the competitive strength of Chinese enterprises, further solidifying our role in the global mobile robotics market," said Wang Yupeng, president of Siasun's mobile robot business, adding that Siasun is banking on customization to win the European market.
To better meet customer demand in the European market, the V-groove forklift mobile robot uses visual material identification technology to adapt to different material types and production processes autonomously, Wang said.
In addition, the robots feature a better design and materials to enable faster delivery, which helps the company gain a competitive edge globally, he added.
"The V-groove forklift is a pioneering product for the new energy sector, as it is specifically designed to handle battery coils with high precision and safety," Wang said.
Apart from ensuring efficient logistics, the robot is able to conduct data processing for logistics procedures, offering improved flexibility and functionality than traditional ones, he added.
With years of experience serving China's new energy market, Siasun has developed a wide product range of mobile robots to cater to the industry's needs.
Its innovative logistics solutions span along the battery production chain — such as raw material handling and battery assembly — addressing challenges in the manufacturing process, Wang said.
According to the company's first-half financial report, its revenue showed steady growth, with revenue reaching 1.66 billion yuan ($234.4 million), a year-on-year increase of 10.37 percent. Its robotics and semiconductor equipment divisions performed well, with gross profit margin continuing its positive momentum.
Citing the global headwinds, the company said it remains committed to its international growth.
Apart from Europe, Siasun has launched key projects in Southeast Asia. Currently, the company's footprint covers over 40 markets, serving more than 4,000 enterprises.
