Guozi Robotics Enhances Hithium's Production Capabilities

Recently, the manufacturing facility of Hithium in Texas, USA, has achieved mass production and delivery milestones. This significant development marks a new chapter in advanced manufacturing practices, with Guozi Robotics playing a pivotal role in this transformation.

A Comprehensive Solution for Smart Logistics

Guozi Robotics has equipped the Hithium factory with a cutting-edge integrated, flexible production and logistics solution. This comprehensive support is designed to enhance the factory's intelligent logistics system, crucial for optimizing operational efficiency.

Spanning an impressive 480,000 square feet and with an investment nearing $200 million, this facility is set to produce an annual capacity of 10 GWh of battery modules and systems. The scale and technology involved underscore Hithium's commitment to leading the charge in energy solutions.

Deployment of Advanced Robotic Systems

In pursuit of excellence, Guozi Robotics has supplied Hithium with over one hundred intelligent logistics robots. This impressive fleet includes various models such as counterbalance AGVs, mini-stacker robots, lifting robots with protective features, and heavy-duty transport robots. Furthermore, the deployment also features advanced equipment like high racks, electrically controlled buffer racks, bridge cranes, and automated doors. Guozi has simultaneously upgraded several device connections to optimize performance.

Among the standout innovations is a high-performing storage retrieval unit that utilizes multi-navigation fusion technology, combining image processing with LiDAR. This unit boasts a load capacity of 1.2 tons and lift heights of up to 7 meters, complemented by a high docking accuracy of ±10mm for storage positions. It can automatically link with material carts, product staging carts, and production line machines to efficiently manage material distribution and assembly tasks along the production line. Moreover, the heavy-duty transport robots can carry loads up to 60 tons with a positioning accuracy of ±10mm. All robotic systems involved in this project have received UL certification, ensuring safety and reliability.

Innovative Integrated Delivery Model

In addressing the challenges faced in large-scale smart logistics projects abroad, Guozi Robotics has introduced an innovative integrated delivery model. This model tackles obstacles such as cargo transfer and technical commissioning effectively. To streamline processes, the company conducted integrated troubleshooting and testing of logistic robots, equipment, production lines, and docking systems in China. This proactive approach was followed by packaging the entire logistics system, along with partner modules, PACK production lines, and containerized housing production lines, for shipment to the overseas project site where it could be deployed immediately. Remarkably, this strategy has reduced the overall implementation cycle by 30% compared to similar projects, facilitating rapid commissioning.

Global Expansion and Experience

Since commencing its global operations in 2016, Guozi Robotics has expanded its business footprint across North America, South America, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. The company has successfully executed extensive application cases in over ten industries, including e-commerce, automotive, construction machinery, and retail. This extensive global experience positions Guozi Robotics as a leader in the automation sector, ready to tackle the complexities of modern manufacturing environments.

In conclusion, the collaborative effort between Guozi Robotics and Hithium to establish a model factory not only enhances production capabilities but also exemplifies the transformative potential of Industry 4.0 solutions in today’s manufacturing landscape.
