- Aumovio Sixth-Generation Millimeter-Wave Radar enters mass production.
- Shanghai facility achieved rapid localized manufacturing expansion.
Aumovio SE (Aumovio) has completed its second self-developed production line for the Aumovio Sixth-Generation Millimeter-Wave Radar at its Shanghai manufacturing facility. The newly established line is now ready for mass production, marking another important step in expanding the company's radar manufacturing capability. The project demonstrates significant progress in production efficiency and localization while supporting future manufacturing requirements for advanced automotive radar technologies.
Production Line Completed in Six Months
The development program officially began with the planning and design stage in October 2025. Installation activities, integrated commissioning, and final acceptance testing were all completed within a six-month period. Compared with the conventional overseas industrialization cycle of approximately 52 weeks, the Shanghai production line achieved more than double the overall construction efficiency while maintaining the required production readiness standards.
Localized Development Across Three Key Areas
The production line was extensively localized through three major initiatives. The first involved joint design work carried out by the local engineering team together with the global engineering organization, creating a standardized production model that can be replicated across Aumovio's worldwide operations. The second focused on locally led manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of production equipment, significantly reducing dependence on customized machinery sourced from overseas.
The third localization effort concentrated on strengthening the supply chain through local sourcing of critical components while maximizing the reuse of standardized components. Since entering operation, the production line has consistently achieved an overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) exceeding 85%, reflecting stable manufacturing performance and efficient production processes.
Key Milestones of Aumovio's Shanghai Radar Production
The following table highlights the major milestones achieved during the development and industrialization of the sixth-generation millimeter-wave radar production program.
| Milestone | Details |
|---|---|
| Planning Started | October 2025 |
| Construction Duration | Completed within six months |
| Industrialization Efficiency | More than double versus conventional 52-week overseas cycle |
| Overall Equipment Effectiveness | Above 85% |
| First Local Mass-Production Unit | April 2025 |
| Large-Scale Mass Production | July 2025 |
Mass Production Progress in Shanghai
The first locally manufactured mass-production unit of the sixth-generation millimeter-wave radar rolled off the production line at Aumovio's Shanghai facility in April 2025. This achievement was followed by the commencement of large-scale mass production in July 2025, reinforcing the company's manufacturing capabilities in China and supporting future demand for advanced automotive radar solutions.
