It can effectively improve the use efficiency of charging piles, reduce construction costs; release equipment health management system, which can be monitored and early warning in all stages, with various application scenarios. The newly launched automatic, intelligent, omni-directional three-dimensional inspection system can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as power transformation, transmission, power distribution and so on.
Promote the strategy of "robot + industry", speed up the development of new fields, actively promote the development strategy of "robot + industry", adopt the mode of separation of research and development, and Nanjing R & D Center focuses on the development of specific products. Shenzhen Research Institute focuses on the research and development of robot frontier and underlying technologies, and improves the R & D system to support product expansion. While stabilizing the regional market in East China, the company actively develops the southern power grid region, Fujian, Jiangxi and other regions, laying out the cooperation and pilot of many products, and the application fields spread to many fields such as fire fighting, rail transit, power generation and so on. in order to help the company to achieve comprehensive coordinated development of multi-industry fields.
