Can car companies and parts companies be unaffected by the epidemic if they are completely produced by robots?

Due to the shortage of spare parts from China, a GM factory in South Korea will stop production on February 7th and 8th/Kloc-0. The factory mainly produces Chevrolet Traiblazer for the Korean and American markets. Similarly, Nissan, Hyundai and Renault also closed their overseas factories due to insufficient supply of domestic parts and components.

It is impossible for parts enterprises to be 100% automated, but automobile assembly still needs people.

At present, stamping, welding, painting, final assembly, stamping, welding and painting in automobile manufacturing can almost be produced by automatic robots of machines, but the final assembly still needs manpower, and many parts need to be installed manually. But the automation rate of automobile parts manufacturing is not high. Take Bainengda Pushi Auto Parts in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area as an example, which produces high-end welded and stamped body parts for Changan Ford. It has 86 industrial robots with an automation rate of only 85%. A large number of auto parts enterprises in China, many parts can not be mass-produced by robots, but now the labor cost is not cheap.

Because the production of parts enterprises can not be fully automated, even if the automation rate of vehicle manufacturing is higher, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Take Chongqing, the latest advanced manufacturing base of Great Wall Motor, as an example. The automation rate of welding and painting workshop can reach 100%, but it also needs people to operate computer programs to control robots, and the final assembly still needs manpower. The automation rate of Great Wall Motor reaches 70%, which is relatively high in the industry.

Write it at the end

During the anti-epidemic period, the resumption of work was affected. Some car companies not only donated money and materials, but even switched to producing much-needed masks and other equipment, which contributed to the victory of fighting the epidemic. It took only three days from SAIC-GM-Wuling to put forward this idea and the first batch of masks went off the assembly line. SAIC-GM-Wuling is the first automobile company to obtain a medical device business license and pass professional testing. Affected by the epidemic, car companies have a greater impact, but they are still United and contribute to the victory of the anti-epidemic campaign.
