At a demonstration area in Guangdong, China, a robotics technician named Zhuang Yongchun showcased his team's robotic arms, which can perform tasks like screwing in screws and fetching screws from a box smoothly. 

Zhuang's daily work involves developing and applying industrial robots to help companies automate their production lines. 

He visits factories, assesses their equipment, designs solutions, and oversees the installation of robotic arms to upgrade their automation capabilities.

After analyzing the technical specifications, Zhuang returned to his office, discussed with colleagues, designed solutions, simulated movements, and conducted 3D design.

Once the plan was approved, they signed an agreement, and upon receiving the customer's purchase order, they started with drawing, procurement, assembly, and conducted action, signal, and hardware testing. 

Zhuang stated that the automation upgrade, including the installation of 10 robotic arms, could be successfully put into production in 5-10 days. 

He added that using robots could save labour costs, as previously it required two or more people for bending, but now only one bending robot is needed, significantly improving production efficiency.
