Xiaomi's New Factory to Produce a Smartphone Every 3 Seconds
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is revolutionizing smartphone manufacturing with its newly established $330 million automated factory. Spanning 81,000 square meters, this cutting-edge facility is set to produce an impressive 10 million smartphones, achieving a production rate of one device every three seconds. Explore how Xiaomi's latest investment is setting new standards in tech manufacturing.
China's tech giant Xiaomi plans to produce more than 10 million smartphones annually with its new, self-improving, unmanned robot factory, which covers 81,000 square meters and was established with an investment of $330 million.
The fully automated smart production lines are capable of operating 24/7 without human intervention. Xiaomi's CEO and founder, Lei Jun, states that the factory can diagnose and solve problems and optimize its processes autonomously.
Xiaomi's Hyper IMP (Intelligent Manufacturing Platform) acts as an operational brain, responding effectively to challenges and enhancing production efficiency.
Jun says, “We have 11 production lines. 100% of the core processes are automated. We developed all our manufacturing and production software to achieve this.”
The facility in Beijing's Changping district features a highly sophisticated automation system.
The system involves machines working together to complete tasks. The facility, which remains clean with devices that collect dust at the micron level, uses smart machines for quality control. The facility theoretically has the capacity to produce one smartphone per second.
The facility, which is expected to start production soon, will produce a smartphone every 3 seconds!
Among the models planned for production at the facility are next-generation smartphones like the MIX Fold 4 and MIX Flip.
The smartphones produced in the unmanned factory will be the brand's flagship models!
The factory, said to be fully operational and ready for production, will play a significant role in the manufacturing of Xiaomi's first book-style foldable smartphone, the Xiaomi Mix Fold.
