ABB to Expand Robotics Factory in US
ABB擴建其美國機器人工廠

ABB strengthened its commitment to one of its largest customer markets—the US—with construction starting on the expansion of its existing North American robotics headquarters and manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The project is expected to be completed in November 2023 and represents an investment of $20 million. The expansion will create 72 highly skilled new jobs in the area and is supported by a $450,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant.

隨著位于密歇根州奧本山（Auburn Hills）的現有北美機器人總部和制造廠的擴建工程開始，ABB加強了對其大客戶市場之一美國的承諾。該項目預計將于2023年11月完工，投資額為2000萬美元。擴建項目將為該地區創造72個高技能的新工作崗位，并獲得45萬美元的密歇根商業發展計劃績效撥款的支持。

Adding to the $14 billion ABB has already invested in the US since 2010, the latest investment in its Robotics headquarters and factory will benefit customers in the Americas, particularly those in growth sectors including electric vehicles, healthcare, packaging and logistics. With the expansion set to significantly increase the factory’s production capacity, it responds to the increased demand for automation from 70 percent of US businesses looking to bring production closer to home, as revealed by ABB Robotics’ survey of 1,610 executives in the US and Europe in June 2022.

自2010年以來，ABB已經在美國投資了140億美元，對其機器人總部和工廠的這一新投資將使美洲的客戶受益，特別是在電動汽車、醫療保健、包裝和物流等增長領域。2022年6月，ABB機器人對美國和歐洲1610名企業高管的調查顯示，70%的美國企業希望就近生產，而此次擴建將大幅提高工廠的產能，這也是對美國企業對自動化需求增加的回應。

ABB Robotics moved into the 538,000 square foot building in 1993 and opened the manufacturing plant in 2015, becoming the first global industrial robotics company to fully commit to a North American robotics production footprint.  The expansion and increased use of automation in the factory will create new jobs, supporting the ABB Robotics Packaging & Logistics Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and the Robotics Lifesciences and Healthcare Hub located at the Texas Medical Center in Houston Texas.  ABB already has a workforce of approximately 350 employees at Auburn Hills.

ABB機器人在1993年遷入這棟占地53.8萬平方英尺的大樓，并于2015年開設了制造工廠，成為家完全致力于北美機器人生產的全球工業機器人公司。工廠的擴建和自動化應用的增加將創造新的就業機會，支持位于佐治亞州亞特蘭大的ABB機器人包裝和物流總部，以及位于德克薩斯州休斯頓醫療中心的機器人生命科學和保健中心。 ABB在奧本山目前大約有350名員工。

ABB’s footprint in the US is more than 20,000 employees, over more than 40 sites nationally.

ABB在美國有超2萬名員工，遍布全國40多個網點。

This investment will see the latest digital and automation technologies implemented to manufacture next generation robots in the US, for the Americas, streamlining the delivery process and reducing lead times. Close to 90 percent of robots delivered to customers in the US, Canada, Mexico and South America will soon be made in Auburn Hills. The plant will utilize flexible, modular production cells that are digitally connected and networked, and served by intelligent autonomous mobile robots. AI-powered robotic systems will take on tasks such as screw driving, assembling and material handling, relieving people from these tasks and enabling more rewarding work.

這項投資將見證新的數字和自動化技術在美國制造下一代機器人，為美洲客戶簡化交付流程，縮短交付周期。交付給美國、加拿大、墨西哥和南美客戶的近90%的機器人將很快在奧本山制造。該工廠將利用靈活的模塊化生產單元，這些單元通過數字方式連接和聯網，并由智能自主移動機器人提供服務。由人工智能驅動的機器人系統將承擔螺絲驅動、裝配和材料處理等任務，將人們從這些任務中解脫出來，實現更有價值的工作。
