## Summary

Schaeffler has opened an approximately 7,500-square-meter humanoid robot lighthouse factory in Taicang, China, where six humanoid robots at five workstations handle the loading, sorting, assembly, inspection, labeling, and packaging of key components such as linear and rotary actuators. The factory also includes a training and data acquisition center, a digital twin platform, and a data center, enabling real-time mirroring and optimization of parameters such as assembly precision, work hours, and energy consumption, and offering customers and partners the ability to train and test physical AI systems under real industrial conditions.
