ROSEMONT, IL, October 23, 2018 - Reshoring is a hot topic in the US. The idea of manufacturing lines being brought to US manufacturing sites by US companies that have off-shore manufacturing is exciting. We must remember that all of the equipment being brought to the US is not being "reshored". Some of this equipment will be sophisticated machines designed, developed and fabricated in China. Many Americans imagine manufacturing facilities in China to be large facilities filled with manual labor, and while this indeed can be found, there has been a long running evolution of automated manufacturing in China. Most Americans are unaware that precision manufacturing on the scale of manufacturing found in China makes it one of the worlds most challenging and sophisticated automation markets. As US firms begin to reshore, they will be bringing manufacturing lines to the US. This lines will often be sophisticated factory automation and robotics systems, and due to Lyric Robot's marketshare in China, they will most likely be bringing equipment
Lyric Robot has been in the thick of the growth of the factory automation and robotics integration market for more than a decade. Growing to an organization of more than a 1000 people. Its focus has been automation for Western companies with manufacturing facilities in China, so it is unusual in Asia to have a strong focus on both software and R&D related to advances manufacturing technologies. One sign of this is that 70% of its work force has a bachelors degree or higher.
