abb to expand robotics factory in us
abb擴(kuò)建其美國機(jī)器人工廠
abb strengthened its commitment to one of its largest customer markets—the us—with construction starting on the expansion of its existing north american robotics headquarters and manufacturing facility in auburn hills, michigan. the project is expected to be completed in november 2023 and represents an investment of $20 million. the expansion will create 72 highly skilled new jobs in the area and is supported by a $450,000 michigan business development program performance-based grant.
隨著位于密歇根州奧本山（auburn hills）的現(xiàn)有北美機(jī)器人總部和制造廠的擴(kuò)建工程開始，abb加強(qiáng)了對其最大客戶市場之一美國的承諾。該項目預(yù)計將于2023年11月完工，投資額為2000萬美元。擴(kuò)建項目將為該地區(qū)創(chuàng)造72個高技能的新工作崗位，并獲得45萬美元的密歇根商業(yè)發(fā)展計劃績效撥款的支持。
adding to the $14 billion abb has already invested in the us since 2010, the latest investment in its robotics headquarters and factory will benefit customers in the americas, particularly those in growth sectors including electric vehicles, healthcare, packaging and logistics. with the expansion set to significantly increase the factory’s production capacity, it responds to the increased demand for automation from 70 percent of us businesses looking to bring production closer to home, as revealed by abb robotics’ survey of 1,610 executives in the us and europe in june 2022.
自2010年以來，abb已經(jīng)在美國投資了140億美元，對其機(jī)器人總部和工廠的這一最新投資將使美洲的客戶受益，特別是在電動汽車、醫(yī)療保健、包裝和物流等增長領(lǐng)域。2022年6月，abb機(jī)器人對美國和歐洲1610名企業(yè)高管的調(diào)查顯示，70%的美國企業(yè)希望就近生產(chǎn)，而此次擴(kuò)建將大幅提高工廠的產(chǎn)能，這也是對美國企業(yè)對自動化需求增加的回應(yīng)。
abb robotics moved into the 538,000 square foot building in 1993 and opened the manufacturing plant in 2015, becoming the first global industrial robotics company to fully commit to a north american robotics production footprint. the expansion and increased use of automation in the factory will create new jobs, supporting the abb robotics packaging & logistics headquarters in atlanta, georgia and the robotics lifesciences and healthcare hub located at the texas medical center in houston texas. abb already has a workforce of approximately 350 employees at auburn hills.
abb機(jī)器人在1993年遷入這棟占地53.8萬平方英尺的大樓，并于2015年開設(shè)了制造工廠，成為第一家完全致力于北美機(jī)器人生產(chǎn)的全球工業(yè)機(jī)器人公司。工廠的擴(kuò)建和自動化應(yīng)用的增加將創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機(jī)會，支持位于佐治亞州亞特蘭大的abb機(jī)器人包裝和物流總部，以及位于德克薩斯州休斯頓醫(yī)療中心的機(jī)器人生命科學(xué)和保健中心。 abb在奧本山目前大約有350名員工。
abb’s footprint in the us is more than 20,000 employees, over more than 40 sites nationally.
abb在美國有超2萬名員工，遍布全國40多個網(wǎng)點。
this investment will see the latest digital and automation technologies implemented to manufacture next generation robots in the us, for the americas, streamlining the delivery process and reducing lead times. close to 90 percent of robots delivered to customers in the us, canada, mexico and south america will soon be made in auburn hills. the plant will utilize flexible, modular production cells that are digitally connected and networked, and served by intelligent autonomous mobile robots. ai-powered robotic systems will take on tasks such as screw driving, assembling and material handling, relieving people from these tasks and enabling more rewarding work.
這項投資將見證最新的數(shù)字和自動化技術(shù)在美國制造下一代機(jī)器人，為美洲客戶簡化交付流程，縮短交付周期。交付給美國、加拿大、墨西哥和南美客戶的近90%的機(jī)器人將很快在奧本山制造。該工廠將利用靈活的模塊化生產(chǎn)單元，這些單元通過數(shù)字方式連接和聯(lián)網(wǎng)，并由智能自主移動機(jī)器人提供服務(wù)。由人工智能驅(qū)動的機(jī)器人系統(tǒng)將承擔(dān)螺絲驅(qū)動、裝配和材料處理等任務(wù)，將人們從這些任務(wù)中解脫出來，實現(xiàn)更有價值的工作。
