According to the official WeChat account of Baowu Magnesium Industry, the 2024 World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference grandly opened on December 20, 2024, in the historic city of Nanjing. This global event on intelligent manufacturing shines alongside the future of technology. With the theme "Accelerating the Development of an Upgraded Version of Intelligent Manufacturing and Developing New Quality Productivity Based on Local Conditions," the conference aims to establish a diversified, international, and professional global platform for exchange and cooperation in intelligent manufacturing. As an annual event in China's intelligent manufacturing sector, the conference attracted elites from the global intelligent manufacturing field to discuss new trends and explore new opportunities for cooperation in intelligent manufacturing.
During the conference, Baowu Magnesium Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Baowu Magnesium) and Estun Automation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Estun) successfully held the signing ceremony for their global strategic cooperation on new quality productivity and the launch of a new magnesium alloy robot product. Together, they ushered in a new era of intelligent manufacturing, setting the "weathervane" for industry development.
The unveiling of the new product and the strategic cooperation signing ceremony were attended by Mei Xiaoming, Chairman of Baowu Magnesium; Wen Faping, President and Deputy Party Secretary of Baosteel Metal, as well as Deputy Party Secretary and Vice Chairman of Baowu Magnesium; Zhi Weijun, General Manager of the Magnesium Products Division of Baowu Magnesium; Wu Bo, Chairman of Estun; and Zhou Ailin, Executive President of Estun, among other leaders from both sides.
As a leading brand in China's industrial robotics sector, Estun has been committed to technological innovation and industrial upgrading, providing efficient and intelligent automation solutions to global customers.
In his speech, Wu Bo, Chairman of Estun, emphasized that Estun is an active driver and key contributor in the fields of manufacturing transformation and intelligent upgrading. This collaboration not only represents the deep integration of the strengths of both companies for mutual benefit but also marks a significant breakthrough in technological innovation and application in the industrial sector. Through the sincere cooperation of both parties, this partnership is expected to bring new vitality to the global intelligent manufacturing field and provide strong support for building more efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent production models. Let us join hands to create a better future together!
As a global leader in the entire magnesium industry chain, Baowu Magnesium aims not only to lead in scale but also to set a benchmark for the industry's development direction. Magnesium alloy robot casing products, as an emerging application field of key focus for the group, will also be one of the critical product lines for Baowu Magnesium's future development.
In his speech, Mei Xiaoming, Chairman of Baowu Magnesium, stated: In the future, we will join hands with Estun, a solid and reliable partner, focusing on industrial robots as a key leverage point to continuously deepen collaborative innovation among industry, academia, and research. This will strongly advance the industrialisation of magnesium alloy materials in the field of industrial robots. At the same time, we feel immensely honored to contribute to enhancing the global reputation of Estun's intelligent manufacturing brand. We sincerely hope that both teams will remain true to their original aspirations, forge ahead, and continue to deepen their close and sincere collaboration, strengthening the bond of cooperation and jointly creating a "magnesium" bright future in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and industrial robotics!
At this conference, Baowu Magnesium and Estun jointly launched a new magnesium alloy robot product, the "ER4-550-MI." This robot combines Baowu Magnesium's profound technical expertise in magnesium alloy materials with Estun's innovative achievements in robotics technology. Its lightweight design reduces its weight by 11% compared to the aluminum alloy version. This robot not only improves cycle speed by 5% but also excels in vibration damping, electromagnetic shielding, and heat dissipation due to its material properties, thereby enhancing stability. Additionally, energy consumption is reduced by 10%, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Empowered by magnesium alloy, the robotics industry aims to showcase stronger competitiveness with four major advantages: "lightweight, fast, stable, and energy-saving." It seeks to bring a new solution to the industrial automation field with lighter weight, higher efficiency, and faster response.
Baowu Magnesium and Estun signed a global strategic cooperation agreement on new quality productivity at the conference, marking a new phase in their collaboration in the fields of magnesium alloy materials and robotics technology. The two parties will jointly develop, produce, and promote magnesium alloy robots, driving the global application of intelligent manufacturing technologies.
In today's era of both opportunities and challenges, with rapid technological development and profound changes in industrial structures, a brilliant future lies ahead. Amid this wave of the times, Baowu Magnesium and Estun, leveraging their respective unique resources, are advancing side by side and collaborating deeply to explore the infinite possibilities of industrial development. They are committed to creating a new landscape of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. Together, Baowu Magnesium and Estun will contribute China's wisdom to the global development of industrial automation and intelligence, supporting China's manufacturing industry in achieving high-level technological self-reliance and strength.
