ABB India opens new robotics facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
ABB India on Friday announced the opening of a new facility in Bengaluru that would enable it to deliver robotic applications and digital solutions for a variety of industries, including automotive, food & beverage, electronics, and other upcoming sectors., the company said in a statement.
Spread over 3,600 square meters, the facility houses a state-of-the-art shop floor that can run proof of concepts and factory acceptance tests for 1,000 ABB robots annually that would enable rapid innovation, adaption, optimization, and agile delivery of made-to-order robotics applications for Indian customers, the statement said.
This enables rapid innovation, adaption, optimization and agile delivery of made-to-order robotics applications for Indian customers, it said.
Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India said.”With the help of the new and improved robotics facility, we will be able to share our knowledge and encourage Indian manufacturers to embrace our game-changing technologies and become best-in-class manufacturers for local and global markets,”
“Even with increased demand for automation, the penetration of robotics, especially in small and medium enterprises is still low in India compared to the global average. With the help of the new and improved robotics facility, we will be able to share our knowledge and encourage Indian manufacturers to embrace our game-changing technologies and become best-in-class manufacturers for local and global markets,” he said.
The facility includes a demonstration centre where the latest technologies in robotic welding, gluing and material handling will be showcased and can be used to carry out joint prove-out sessions with customers.
ABB will also integrate an ABB Ability Connected Services team that can remotely monitor an installed base of ABB robots to conduct predictive maintenance and high uptime.
A new customer experience centre is being set up for customers to learn about the latest in robotics technology and applications, including ABB’s dedicated robot simulation and programming software, RobotStudio.
Additionally, the facility will host a paint lab where customers can run simulations of a broad range of industrial painting applications, it said.
