At the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, 17 departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued implementation plans to promote "Robot +" actions, proposing that by 2025, the density of manufacturing robots will double when compared with 2020.

The plans outlined focusing on 10 key application areas, breaking through more than 100 innovative application technologies and solutions for robots, promoting more than 200 typical application scenarios of robots of a high technical level, innovative application models and significant application results, creating a batch of "Robot +" application benchmarking enterprises, and building a number of application experience centers and test verification centers.

As for promoting the construction of the intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and creating typical application scenarios of industrial robots, Beijing E-Town has always taken the lead in intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation.

Through the intelligent transformation and upgrading of production lines, Beijing Benz has an average of one vehicle off the assembly line every 45 seconds, and Xiaomi's "black light factory" realizes more than 200 processes for producing a mobile phone from scratch, relying on the automation of smart equipment. SMC is also committed to providing high-end equipment core components. 

Driven by these leading enterprises, Chietom, Tsing Dynatron, Software Robots and other specialized and sophisticated companies are also stepping up.

In recent years, Botsing Technology has developed the world's first trackless all-position crawling welding robot, which embodies the 20 years’ worth of technical achievements of Pan Jiluan, the "No. 1 welding man in China" and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In addition, Topsky focuses on the research and development of special robots, JJC Tech is deeply involved in the field of petroleum equipment, and Neolix has launched unmanned retail vehicles. Many "little giant" companies in the field of robotics are growing here.
