What?
Xiaomi has introduced innovative production processes that enable them to produce an SU7 car every 76 seconds using gigacasting and stamping techniques. The company claims to be the only domestic automobile manufacturer utilizing self-developed alloy materials and large die casting equipment cluster system.
So What?
By implementing these advanced production methods, Xiaomi has significantly reduced production time by 45%, decreased the number of welding points by 840, and made the car component 17% lighter. This not only enhances the car’s performance but also increases its life expectancy to over 2 million kilometers. Despite concerns regarding the cost of replacing damaged parts, Xiaomi has addressed this with a three-stage anti-collision design, ensuring easier repair post-collision.
What’s next?
Xiaomi’s development of an entire die casting machine group system, including 60 devices and 433 processes, showcases their commitment to innovation. With a highly automated factory capable of producing 40 cars per hour, Xiaomi is setting a new benchmark for efficient and advanced manufacturing processes in the automotive industry. Their use of robots, AI optimization systems, and high-tech inspection equipment demonstrates a dedication to quality and precision in their production line.
