Chery’s Dalian factory has undergone a major transformation with the deployment of 435 ForwardX autonomous mobile robots—marking the world’s largest AMR deployment in automotive history and a standout example of brownfield modernization. Instead of building a new site, ForwardX upgraded the existing factory without production downtime, introducing 5S-compliant intelligent material management, reducing labor needs by 30 workers per shift, and streamlining inventory control. This seamless, large-scale automation sets a new global benchmark for retrofitting legacy automotive plants into smart factories.
