Robots take over at Chinese recycler

China’s recycling company GEM has introduced robots to automate its production line. The initiative, which includes the deployment of 27 advanced robots, covers the entire manufacturing chain, from raw material handling to final product dispatch.

‘Operational costs halved, efficiency doubled and precision perfected,’ GEM tells logisticsbusiness.com, describing what the company views as a transformative leap in green manufacturing.

Lower costs

According to GEM, the automation has already led to a 50% reduction in labour costs and a significant increase in throughput, with robotic automation systems claimed to achieve 99% accuracy.

The robots are equipped with real-time data uploading capabilities and integrated weighing sensors, allowing for greater visibility and control over production quality.
