The construction of smart factories is an important part of my country's manufacturing power strategy. With the advent of the Internet of Things era, more and more automobile manufacturing industries have entered the ranks of production line optimization and upgrading and intelligent manufacturing. As the leading company in the new car manufacturing force, NIO, from May 27, 2018, when the first ES8 mass-produced car rolled off the assembly line, to April 7, 2021, NIO completed the high-end smart electric vehicle in only 1,046 days. The leap from 1 to 100,000 units has created a new speed in the industry together with users and partners. The annual production of 100,000 high-end new energy passenger vehicles has successively introduced Jingyuan Electromechanical AGVs for use in the welding workshop and final assembly workshop. The two parties have worked together for many years to witness the smooth rollout of NIO's 100,000 mass-produced vehicles.
The JAC NIO Advanced Manufacturing Base is based on the continuous optimization of the four elements of "data, technology, business process, and organizational structure", and conducts operations from cloud platforms, Internet of Things, application systems, process design, intelligent equipment, and intelligent sensing. All-round planning, to realize the collection, analysis and storage of multi-dimensional data of the factory, and effectively establish the production and manufacturing Internet of Things system.

The JAC Weilai factory is mainly used to produce high-end new energy passenger vehicles of the Weilai brand. In order to realize the mixed production of different models of vehicles such as the Weilai ES8, ES6 and EC6 on the same platform, Weilai has reached a cooperation with Jingyuan Electromechanical and introduced the AGV is mainly used for the assembly of front axle, rear axle, battery assembly and body.
Well source combined AGV
According to different production processes, Jingyuan Machinery's combined AGV has used a battery single-lift combined AGV and a front and rear axle manned three-lift combined AGV in the project. The combined AGV uses advanced technologies such as laser positioning, data acquisition, and synchronous dynamic tracking to realize dynamic assembly of the front and rear axle assemblies at any station in the assembly section, to meet the mixed production of various models, realize flexible production, and reduce production process It can save labor cost and improve production efficiency.
The offline of 100,000 vehicles is undoubtedly exciting news for NIO. For NIO, the team, partners and users are the main sources of this figure. As a participant and witness of this process, Jingyuan will continue to innovate in technology, launch leading products and services, and create value for users.
