Doosan Robotics said on the 9th that it signed a business agreement with Gwangjin Group, a global automotive parts specialist, for cooperation on "automotive parts manufacturing process innovation and robot automation solutions," and agreed to supply more than 100 manufacturing robot solutions.

Under the agreement, Doosan Robotics will supply eight additional units by May this year, following the 11 units previously delivered. The two sides agreed to sequentially supply a total of more than 100 manufacturing robot solutions to Gwangjin Group's plants in Korea and overseas by 2027.

Gwangjin Group, which counts global finished-vehicle corporations as major clients, operates production plants in key locations worldwide, including the United States, Mexico, India and Vietnam. It has introduced and is operating Doosan Robotics robots in window regulator (window lift device) line assembly and inspection, door module line riveting (a process that fixes parts with strong pressure), assembly and inspection processes.

In addition to large-scale supply, the two corporations plan to expand the scope of cooperation by jointly developing customized robot solutions that can be applied to Gwangjin Group's various parts manufacturing processes. They will also run a working-level consultative body to establish phased robot solution adoption plans and build the necessary environment.

Doosan Robotics' manufacturing robot solutions can be introduced without changing existing factory layouts, and their high safety and precision enable efficient collaboration with workers. They also help reduce defect rates and improve quality by minimizing quality variations that occur depending on worker skill levels.

Park In-won, president of Doosan Robotics, said, "This agreement was signed based on strong trust in Doosan Robotics' manufacturing robot solutions," and added, "We will support the successful deployment of Doosan Robotics' robot solutions on Gwangjin Group's production floors and further strengthen our position in the global manufacturing automation market."
