Quick Takeaways
  • Dongfeng automobile manufacturing equipment localization advances with a new joint laboratory initiative.
  • The project strengthens domestic autonomy and controllability of key automotive manufacturing systems.
Dongfeng automobile manufacturing equipment localization has taken a concrete step forward with Dongfeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. announcing the inauguration of a joint laboratory for pilot localization of automobile manufacturing equipment. The facility has been jointly established by Dongfeng Machine Tool Plant Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Inovance Technology Co., Ltd. in Shiyan, Hubei, focusing on advancing localized solutions for the automotive manufacturing ecosystem.
Pilot Laboratory for Real Automotive Manufacturing Verification
The joint laboratory provides a dedicated pilot environment for verification and testing by accurately simulating real automotive welding scenarios. These simulations allow engineering teams to validate manufacturing processes under conditions that closely mirror actual production lines, improving reliability before large-scale deployment.
Digital Foundation and Closed-Loop Development
At the core of the laboratory is the iFA all-scenario intelligent industrial control software platform, which serves as the digital foundation for development activities. The platform enables a closed-loop process covering:
  • Electrical design
  • Virtual debugging
  • Physical verification
This integrated approach supports efficient development and validation of automobile manufacturing equipment localization solutions.
Comprehensive Equipment and System Integration
Laboratory construction incorporates a full range of total solutions, including:
  • Industrial control software platforms
  • Master control and secure PLC control systems
  • Welding robots
  • Servo systems
  • Frequency converters
  • Sensors
These components collectively support in-house R&D, joint development, and stability verification of high-end equipment control systems.
Strengthening Autonomy in Automotive Manufacturing
Designed to validate core algorithms and new manufacturing processes, the laboratory aims to convert accumulated engineering experience from the automobile manufacturing industry into standardized solutions and testing norms aligned with China’s supply system. This effort is intended to enhance the autonomy and controllability of key devices and systems, reinforcing long-term resilience in automobile manufacturing equipment localization.
