Appliances & robotics
In Beijiao, Midea and the Midea-KUKA site connect the appliance industry with automation. [1]

Foshan
Appliances, automation and aluminium.
Foshan combines established appliance manufacturing with robotics and metal processing. Shunde and Nanhai offer different starting points: the product and its production system, or the selection and processing of a material.

Where to investigate further.
Dali and Shishan are separate locations within Nanhai. Our research does not establish a single aluminium industrial park or an end-to-end supply relationship.

Shunde · Beijiao
Appliances and robotics
Midea reported the commissioning of the second phase of its Midea-KUKA park in Beijiao in 2023. This provides a basis for discussing automation from both the manufacturer’s and equipment supplier’s perspective. [1]
A question to explore
Which production steps justify a new automation solution?

Production sites
Weiye lists Changhongling in Shishan as a production base. Manufacturing and testing should be examined at the relevant plant; an address in Nanhai alone does not establish a connected supply chain. [2]
A question to explore
How are process parameters and material batches linked to a component?

- 02Production process
- 03Testing & approval

03 / For your business
What would you like to investigate?
The specific task determines which companies, technical teams and locations are relevant.
Assess automation selectively
Bring a specific component, cycle time, variants and current defect data.
Compare aluminium suppliers
Evaluate alloy, surface, machining and testing scope separately.
