2025-02-28 · Machine translation
Recently, the Tianjin Robot Industry Association and representatives of its member organizations traveled to South Korea to conduct technical exchange activities. The delegation included executives and experts from companies such as Folady, Sanyi Precision, and Aipus. By participating in world-class industry trade shows and conducting on-site visits to benchmark enterprises, they gained an in-depth understanding of global trends in the semiconductor and smart manufacturing sectors.
The delegation visited SEMICON Korea.
Semicon Korea: Gaining Insights into the Future of the Semiconductor Industry
As a key part of the trip, the delegation visited SEMICON Korea, the International Semiconductor Exhibition. As one of the world's three major semiconductor professional exhibitions, this exhibition brings together more than 600 top enterprises such as ASML, SEMES and SK Hynix, focusing on cutting-edge technological breakthroughs such as 3nm advanced process, Chiplet heterogeneous integration and third generation semiconductor materials. Delegation members focused on the need for domestic production of wafer fabrication equipment and high-precision inspection technologies, and initiated preliminary discussions with several international suppliers regarding technical cooperation.
Visiting Samick THK: Exploring Innovative Models of Collaboration
The delegation learned about Samick THK’s technologies and products.
At the headquarters of Samick THK, a leading precision manufacturing company in South Korea, the delegation investigated the innovative applications of industrial robots in the field of electronic manufacturing. Samick THK was established in 1965 and set up a joint venture with Japanese THK Company in 1991. It has more than 700 employees and a total output value equivalent to 3.5 billion yuan. The company prominently showcased its self-developed robots and robotic production line solutions for the semiconductor industry, with several of these solutions already successfully deployed in flexible display assembly processes. The two sides discussed specific scenarios such as "precision electronic component handling" and "product market expansion in China", and reached cooperation intentions on the joint development of customized solutions, product market development in China and technical cooperation.
Building Bridges for Cross-Border Cooperation and Jointly Advancing Industrial Development
This trip to South Korea marked a dual breakthrough in both technological insights and business collaboration. We have not only explored pathways to achieve domestic production of semiconductor equipment, but have also identified viable collaboration opportunities in the field of flexible robotic manufacturing. This cross-border technology exchange marks a new step in the internationalization of Tianjin’s robotics industry and injects innovative momentum into the sector’s high-quality development.
