With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have become an important tool in modern production lines, providing an efficient and intelligent material handling solution. 

Located in Chongchuan district, Nantong Zhike Robot Automation specializes in the research, design, and manufacturing of mobile robots for flexible production lines in the automotive industry. 

Last year, the company launched an AGV for the automotive final assembly interior production line, which has been deployed in the production lines of Mercedes-Benz (Beijing) Center and received repeat orders. This product enables human-robot collaboration in the complex environments of automotive plants. 

As the most important domestic partner of Germany's Siemens Simove system, the company has jointly developed over 50 process-oriented AGV products, 45 of which have already been sold, with orders in hand approaching 100 million yuan ($14.21 million). 

The company currently has 20,000 square meters of factory space in Chongchuan, with 8,000 square meters of Phase I already in mass production and Phase II under accelerated construction. 

The company plans to focus on the research and development of wheel-arm robots next year to further enhance battery life and stability, and to expand into heavy-duty and other logistics transportation fields.
