GUANGZHOU， March 10 (Xinhua) -- Already a leader in air conditioners and washing machines， Chinese home appliance giant Midea has set its sights on a new industry: robots.
Midea made the announcement at a strategy conference Wednesday held in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou， days after its acquisition of German robotics maker Kuka and Israeli motion control firm Servotronix.
SMART FACTORY
In a livestream at the conference， Wang Xiaojin， head of the Guangzhou plant of Midea's air-conditioning division， showed a "smart factory" full of robotic arms and sensors.
"The factory can make and deliver products within 12 days of receiving an order， as well as track the order throughout the process，" Wang said.
"Midea has invested 5 billion yuan (725 million U.S. dollars) in building smart factories in several Chinese cities using a total of 1，500 robots，" said Gu Yanmin， vice president of Midea. "Our ultimate goal is to build more intelligent smart factories and use more robots in factories."
Midea is not alone in the automation drive. Other home appliance makers， including Haier， Gree and Galanz， are also building smart factories to enhance production and logistics speed.
"Kuka will help Midea grab more shares in the future robots market，" Kuka CEO Till Reuter said at the conference.
"Servotronix will offer Midea the key technology in robots automation system，" Servotronix CEO Ilan Cohen told dealers at the conference. "We have rich experience and Midea has a huge global market. There will be more industries looking forward to our cooperation."
In the past eight months， Midea has acquired 94.55 percent of Kuka and 50 percent of Servotronix.
EYEING A BIG MARKET
"China's home appliance industry is already highly competitive. But for the robot sector， it's quite the opposite，" Gu said， explaining the strategy shift.
"In 2020， there will be 150 robots for every 10，000 workers in China， four times the level in 2015，" Gu said， quoting projections by the International Federation of Robotics.
The 30-billion-yuan takeover of Kuka marks Midea's advance into the robotics business. Despite controversy， the takeover received the green light from regulators in Germany and the United States， and has become a model for Chinese overseas acquisitions.
"It's a standard commercial deal and the world will soon see the results of our cooperation，" Gu said.
Reuter said Kuka， which now runs its second-largest assembly plant in Shanghai， wanted to expand its advantage in automotive robots to other sectors， while Midea hoped to explore new markets other than home appliances.
"Midea can open China's doors for us， and we can help Midea get more efficient production in China，" Reuter said. "We have also new areas. It's a win-win for Kuka and Midea， and also a win-win for China and Germany."
"The two takeovers can help Midea build a complete industrial chain for upgrading traditional plants into smart factories and to sell models of smart factories to customers at home and abroad，" Gu said.
"China's manufacturing sector， which is much bigger than that of Germany， offers unprecedented business opportunities for German robot makers，" Reuter said.
China has the largest intelligent manufacturing and robot application market in the world. The government report from the ongoing annual session of China's national legislature called for speeding up the use of big data， cloud computing and the Internet of Things， and focusing on intelligent manufacturing.
"China's robot market is expected to maintain robust annual growth of 20 percent， far higher than the 5 to 10 percent growth in the United States and 14 percent growth in Europe，" Reuter said.
Apart from the domestic market， Midea has also set its eyes on the huge global market. Gu said that some overseas customers were already in talks over Midea's automation solutions.
"The new business could be exported to other parts of the world and become a global industry leader like China's high-speed trains，" Gu said.
MADRID hydro flask 64 oz sale , Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Leo Messi will look to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his first team debut for FC Barcelona in style when Eibar make their first ever BBVA Primera Liga to the Camp Nou Stadium on Saturday evening.
Eibar are the side with the smallest ground and the smallest budget in La Liga, but have already shown they are no pushover with a series of well-organized and battling performances.
Coach Gaizka Garitano also has the advantage of having been able to work with the majority of his squad over the past fortnight while most of Barca's players have been away on international duty.
Neymar was one of the latest to return after scoring four goals for Brazil in Japan and may start Saturday's match on the sub's bench hydro flask 18 oz sale , but all eyes will be on Messi, who could round off the anniversary by scoring the goals which make him the highest all-time scorer in the history of the Spanish League.
Elsewhere Sergio Busquets could be rested in central midfield with teenage prodigy hydro flask 21 oz sale , Sergi Samper getting another chance to show the future which lies ahead of him.
Real Madrid also play on Saturday and coach Carlo Ancelotti will be looking for his potent attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema to score the goals away to struggling Levante.
Ancelotti spoke on the club's official TV station to praise the trio hydro flask 24 oz sale , saying there was no attack like them in the World and Ronaldo will expect to score in the Ciudad de Valencia stadium against a rival which is struggling to find its identity after years of basing their play on rugged defense.
Levante are looking to play more constructive football under coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar hydro flask 40 oz sale , but that has so far cost them defensive cohesion.
Meanwhile goalkeeper Keylor Navas will return to his former club, but will have to settle.
