Shenyang Siasun brings world-class robots to Singapore

At the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit held in Singapore on Nov 12, Siasun Robot and Automation Co discussed new economic and trade cooperation with companies from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Based in Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province, Siasun said it boasts a complete production line and business expanded to the global market.

It expanded cooperation with Singapore in fields such as intelligent logistics and intelligent transportation, with a view to using the summit to fully showcase its core competitiveness and better join hands with friends throughout ASEAN nations.

The company set up an automation company in Singapore in September 2017 and hoped to further cooperate with the country's government and integrate the quality resources of Southeast Asia.

Siasun's Singapore team is committed to formulating and implementing the overall plan of the regional Industry 4.0 strategy. It provides complete solutions to industries such as automobiles, food, aerospace, pharmacy, railways, e-commerce and logistics and shipbuilding.

The company is just one example of Shenyang's effort to develop the robotics industry.

The city has poured considerable resources into promoting related project construction and corporate development.

Over the past three years, the output value of the city's robotics industry has witnessed an average annual growth rate of more than 30 percent.

In addition, 12 new companies in the sector were set up in Shenyang in 2017 alone.

The city is also home to a number of innovative robot-related projects, which have already settled or are under construction in the city, including a robot future city, a robot valley, a national robot innovation center and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' robot and intelligent manufacturing innovation research institute.

The national robot innovation center, for example, was opened in June and serves as China's first collaborative innovation platform in the robotics sector that integrates technological development, research result commercialization, industrial services and personnel training.

The research institute is now under construction, with its first phase scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of the year.

The institute is designed to be a scientific and educational base combining study, research and production, and is expected to annually provide more than 600 high-level professionals and technicians to Shenyang and the rest of China.
