Robot pushes productivity gains at manufacturing hub

China Daily  

GUANGZHOU - Productivity in a Southern China manufacturing hub rose 17 percent last year while shedding 6.8 of their labor thanks to the adoption of automation and robots, the municipal government said Sunday. Companies in Dongguan, Guangdong province, began modifying their manufacturing processes late last year as labor supply in one of the world's largest manufacturing country began to shrink. Investment into manufacturing upgrades and growing use of automated production system also drove down the average production cost by 12.5 percent last year, the municipal government said. In March, South China's Guangdong province pledged to push nearly 2,000 companies in the region to replace human labor with robots as part of its three-year, 943 billion yuan industrial overhaul in the delta.
