Shishi, known for its robust manufacturing sector, has increasingly embraced industrial robots as a key driver of economic transformation. From textile production to hardware and injection molding, robotic systems have been implemented across various sectors, delivering results that surpass initial expectations. This trend reflects a broader push toward smart manufacturing and efficiency-driven growth.

One notable example is a watch manufacturing company that has deployed six plastic injection robots to streamline the production of clock casings. The electronics industry in Shishi is also witnessing a rapid adoption of industrial automation, with companies recognizing the long-term benefits of integrating such technologies into their workflows.

Although the use of industrial robots in the garment industry is still in its early stages, recent developments show promising potential. Traditional fabric spreading processes involved 2–3 workers manually folding and smoothing up to 50–200 layers of fabric, which was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. A new spreading robot developed by the Casual Pants Technology Center has proven effective for high-count and high-density woven fabrics. Designed to accommodate both woven and knitted materials, this innovation is tailored to meet the unique needs of Shishi’s casual pants manufacturers. Industry estimates suggest a demand for approximately 1,000 such robots in the local slacks sector.

In the die-casting hardware industry, Shishi has shown strong interest in adopting industrial robots. Currently, these machines are primarily used for handling parts and material retrieval from hot chamber die-casting machines. By integrating these tasks into a single automated process, companies have reduced labor costs, improved efficiency, and shortened production cycles. While polishing robots are still in the early trial phase, the hardware sector has already transitioned 9 out of 10 production lines to robotic operations, with only one line remaining manually operated.

The immediate advantage of using industrial robots in Shishi’s enterprises is addressing labor shortages on the production floor. Beyond that, they also bring indirect benefits such as enhanced product quality, increased productivity, and more streamlined manufacturing processes. Many companies report that the cost of implementing industrial robots can be recouped within a year due to reduced labor expenses and improved operational performance.
