实地探访：从瑞松科技到小鹏集团，高端精密制造能力获认可
上午，IFR代表团首先来到瑞松科技园，参观了公司机器人研发工程中心与AI机器视觉展厅。在高端精密制造装备展示区，瑞松科技重点向IFR代表团介绍了创新研发的高精高速六轴机器人（PLR机器人）。该产品的战略定位并非替代外资品牌，而是瞄准“人做不到、做不好、做不起”的高精密制造人工工序——用智能化装备提升良品率、降低成本、解决用工难题。在光通信、3C电子、半导体等领域，大量精细作业（如光纤装配、FPC软排线插装、微型元件焊接）长期依赖熟练工人在显微镜下操作，产业发展面临良品率不稳、效率低等困境。
In the morning, the IFR delegation first visited Risong Technology Park, touring the company’s Robotics R&D Engineering Center and AI Machine Vision Exhibition Hall. At the high-end precision manufacturing equipment exhibition area, Risong Technology showcased its proprietary PLR, a high-precision, high-speed six-axis robot, to the IFR delegation. Rather than aiming to replace established foreign brands, the product is strategically positioned to address ultra-precision manual manufacturing work that humans cannot do, cannot do well, or cannot do cost-effectively. It leverages intelligent manufacturing equipment to boost product yield, cut operational costs and ease labor supply pressures. Across sectors such as optical communication, 3C electronics and semiconductors, a wide range of ultra-fine processes — optical fiber assembly, FPC flexible circuit insertion and micro-component soldering — have long depended on skilled workers operating under microscopes. The industry has been plagued by unstable yield rates, low productivity and other bottlenecks restricting high-quality development.

瑞松科技成功构建了完全自主的研发体系与生产能力，实现了从核心算法、嵌入式控制器到精密机械本体的全链路技术掌控。瑞松科技高精高速六轴机器人（PLR机器人）实现了0.3μm级别重复定位精度，并深度融合AI机器视觉检测与力控技术，使机器人具备超越人手的精度与速度。IFR代表团现场观看了该机器人在光纤装配与显示面板FPC软排线插装场景下的作业演示。IFR秘书长苏珊·比勒博士表示：“高端精密制造是衡量一个国家机器人技术水平的重要标尺。瑞松科技从产业真实痛点出发，用技术替代人工极限，这种创新路径令人印象深刻。”
Risong Technology has successfully established a fully independent R&D system and in-house manufacturing capability, achieving end-to-end technological mastery covering from core algorithms, embedded controllers to precision mechanical structures. The Risong Technology PLR robot achieves a repeat positioning accuracy of 0.3 μm and deeply integrates AI machine vision inspection and force control technology, delivering precision and speed that surpass human capabilities. During the visit, the IFR delegation observed on-site operational demonstrations of the robot in key scenarios, including optical fiber assembly and FPC flexible cable insertion for display panel production. Dr. Susanne Bieller, IFR General Secretary, commented: “High-end precision manufacturing is a core benchmark of a nation’s robotics industry strength. Rooted in real industrial pain points, Risong Technology deploys advanced technologies to overcome the limitations of manual operation. This innovative mindset is truly impressive.”

随后，在孙志强董事长的陪同下，IFR代表团前往小鹏集团参观交流。小鹏集团是瑞松科技长期合作伙伴，作为新能源汽车领域的创新代表，既是机器人应用最广泛的汽车制造企业，也是积极布局机器人业务的新势力。在小鹏集团副总裁胡逸宁的陪同下，IFR代表团实地参观了小鹏汽车在车身焊接、总装及电池PACK等产线上的机器人应用实况，近距离接触小鹏集团自主研发的AI人形机器人，也进一步参观了小鹏汽车展厅、小鹏汇天展厅，并进行简单的座谈交流。
Later that day, accompanied by Chairman Sun Zhiqiang, the IFR delegation visited XPeng Inc. for a tour and exchange. XPeng Inc. is a long-standing partner of Risong Technology. As an innovative representative in the new energy vehicle sector, XPeng is not only an automotive manufacturer with one of the most extensive robotics applications in the industry but also an emerging player actively deploying robotics. Accompanied by Hu Yining, Vice President of XPeng Inc., the IFR delegation inspected robotic applications across production lines covering body welding, final assembly and battery pack manufacturing. The team closely examined XPeng’s self-developed AI humanoid robot, toured the exhibition halls of XPeng Motors and XPeng Aeroht, and concluded the visit with a concise exchange session.
