Beijiao township.
Spanning merely 92 square kilometres, Beijiao township in Shunde district, Foshan, south China's Guangdong province, boasts an extraordinarily robust manufacturing ecosystem despite its compact size. Vast factory compounds stretch across the land, while freight trucks shuttle continuously between production facilities.
Today, one out of every 20 industrial robots made in China is produced here, making Beijiao the country's largest industrial robot manufacturing hub.
Inside the Intelligent Robot Manufacturing City of HiTrom Han's, a major smart manufacturing base located in Beijiao, one machine immediately caught the eye: a collaborative robot undergoing testing. Its bright orange robotic arm performed operations with an accuracy of less than 0.02 millimetres.
"Can you guess how many companies operate in this building?" asked Qiu Zhan'ou, deputy general manager of HiTrom Han's Industrial Co., Ltd., pointing to a factory building and raising two fingers with a smile.
