ABB has announced the order of 2400 robots by the BMW Group. Over the next three years, the robots will be installed at factories in Germany and China. The robots will mainly be used for material handling tasks, as well as gluing and spot welding processes.
BMW’s choice of ABB for the blanket supply of so many robots is telling. This is not the first such order BMW has made with ABB and is evidence of a strongly renewed relationship between the two companies.
"BMW is a world class and forward thinking customer,” said Per Vegard Nerseth, head of ABB Robotics. “We are proud that they have renewed their relationship with us and have again chosen to trust in innovative robot technology from ABB. Auto makers clearly have confidence that investing in robotic automation is a sound business strategy.’’
