ABB has opened its refitted U.S. robotics headquarters and manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills, Mich., with a 30% increase in space. Through the new $20 million Customer Experience Center, the company will showcase its hardware and software systems, AI-powered automation technologies, and next-generation robots.
The expanded facility will support ABB Robotics’ specialist centers including its packaging and logistics hub in Atlanta; life sciences and healthcare hub at the Texas Medical Center in Houston; and AI research lab in San Jose, Calif. Featuring a new training center, the facility will educate more than 3,000 workers and students each year, equipping them with the skills to thrive in an era of AI-powered automation.
“Robotics and AI are essential tools for companies in addressing critical labor shortages, localized supply chains, and the need to operate more sustainably,” said Sami Atiya, president of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation business area. “America is now the world’s second largest robotics market, and our production facility will help ABB support existing customers, as well as new growth sectors across the U.S. and the Americas region.”
