NANCHANG, China, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AGIBOT, a leading robotics company specializing in embodied intelligence, today announced the successful deployment of its AGIBOT G2 robots into a live consumer electronic precision manufacturing environment operated by Longcheer Technology, a global leader in smart device ODM manufacturing. The project marks the world's first large-scale industrial implementation of embodied AI systems within core production workflows in consumer electronics manufacturing.

Multiple AGIBOT G2 robots have been officially integrated into Longcheer's tablet production lines, working alongside human operators in real manufacturing environments. The achievement signals a transition of embodied AI from laboratory demonstration to stable, scalable industrial deployment.

"2026 marks the beginning of large-scale deployment for embodied intelligence," said Dr. Yao Maoqing, Partner, Senior Vice President, President of Embodied Business Unit at AGIBOT. "This project demonstrates that embodied AI is no longer experimental. It is a practical, production-ready capability that can operate reliably under real industrial conditions and deliver measurable economic value."

"This deployment represents more than a technical milestone, it marks the first real-world validation of embodied AI in consumer electronics precision manufacturing," said Li Long, General Manager of Longcheer's Robotics Division. "Working closely with AGIBOT, we accelerated the path from innovation to production. In just four months, the AGIBOT G2 was integrated into Longcheer's mass production line, delivering stable, continuous operation and meeting all key targets. This milestone highlights a scalable path forward for embodied AI in manufacturing."

From Pilot to Real-World Deployment

The consumer electronics manufacturing sector has long faced structural challenges, including rigid production lines, lengthy reconfiguration cycles, and difficulty adapting to fluctuating demand. As product lifecycles shorten and multi-model, small-batch production becomes the norm, traditional automation systems, often costly and inflexible, struggle to keep pace.

The joint AGIBOT–Longcheer initiative introduces embodied intelligence as a fundamentally new approach to manufacturing flexibility. By combining general-purpose robotics with AI-driven perception and decision-making, the solution enables rapid adaptation to dynamic production requirements without extensive hardware reconfiguration.

Within Longcheer's production environment, the AGIBOT G2 robots are primarily deployed at MMIT (Multimedia Integrated Testing) stations, performing precision loading and unloading tasks. Operating on high-speed assembly lines, the robots autonomously pick up tablets, navigate complex factory layouts, place devices into testing fixtures with millimeter-level accuracy, and sort finished or defective units accordingly.

Unlike conventional industrial automation, the system requires no custom tooling and supports mixed-model production, enabling faster changeovers and significantly reducing downtime.

Proven Performance at Industrial Scale

The deployment has demonstrated strong, quantifiable performance across key industrial metrics:

• Throughput: Up to 310 units per hour (UPH)
• Cycle Time: approximately 19–20 seconds per operation
• Success Rate: Over 99.9% in continuous operation
• Deployment Time: Production line integration completed within 36 hours
• Production Output: Approximately 3,000 units per shift
• Operational Stability: Supports 24/7 autonomous operation with minimal human intervention, over 140 hours of cumulative continuous operation, with downtime loss below 4%

A single AGIBOT G2 robot can replace multiple manual processes while maintaining consistent output, enabling manufacturers to balance efficiency, cost, and flexibility in a unified system.

Enabling Reliable, Scalable Deployment

The system's performance is enabled by AGIBOT's embodied AI approach, which allows robots to be deployed quickly, adapt to changing production conditions, and operate reliably in high-speed manufacturing environments.

By combining simulation-based validation, RL, and on-device intelligence, the system minimizes setup time, reduces the need for manual adjustments, and ensures stable performance in continuous production.

With multiple units already in operation, AGIBOT plans to expand deployment to 100 robots by Q3 2026, while accelerating adoption across industries including automotive, semiconductors, and energy.

The milestone marks a broader shift in manufacturing, from rigid, hardware-defined automation toward flexible, software-driven intelligent systems powered by embodied AI.

Porsche startet mit einem deutlichen Dämpfer ins Jahr, hält aber an seinen Zielen fest. Der Sport- und Geländewagenbauer setzte im ersten Quartal rund 8,4 Milliarden Euro um, ein Rückgang von etwa 5 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Das operative Konzernergebnis sank um gut ein Fünftel auf 595 Millionen Euro, die operative Umsatzrendite ging von 8,6 auf 7,1 Prozent zurück. Unter dem Strich fiel der Gewinn nach Steuern um rund ein Viertel auf 391 Millionen Euro. An der Börse kamen die Zahlen dennoch vergleichsweise gut an: In einem schwachen Gesamtmarkt legte die Aktie um 1,6 Prozent auf 41,17 Euro zu.

Analysten hatten im Vorfeld bereits mit einem Gewinnrückgang gerechnet, unter anderem wegen des anhaltend schwierigen Umfelds in China und höherer Belastungen in den USA. Im Konsens war von einem Ergebnisminus von etwa 25 Prozent und einer niedrigeren Rendite ausgegangen worden. Citi-Analyst Harald Henrikse hob hervor, dass sich die operative Marge im Kerngeschäft ohne Sonderkosten bei rund 8 Prozent stabilisiere – angesichts des derzeitigen Absatzniveaus sei das bemerkenswert und deute darauf hin, dass Porsche die Talsohle bei der Profitabilität erreicht haben könnte. Jefferies verwies darauf, dass das operative Ergebnis rund sieben Prozent über den Markterwartungen gelegen habe, gestützt durch das Modellmix und eine disziplinierte Preisstrategie.

Das Management führt den Rückgang der Auslieferungen – minus 14,7 Prozent auf 60.991 Fahrzeuge – auf eine gezielte Volumensteuerung zurück. Die Strategie "Value over Volume" priorisiert Margen über Stückzahlen und wird durch eine stärkere Gewichtung renditestarker Modelle wie GT-Varianten untermauert. Gleichzeitig lasten Sondereffekte auf den Zahlen: Finanzchef Jochen Breckner bezifferte die im Quartal angefallenen Sonderkosten für den laufenden Strategiewechsel auf rund 100 Millionen Euro, für das Gesamtjahr werden 800 bis 900 Millionen Euro erwartet. Zusätzlich schlagen höhere US-Importzölle mit etwa 200 Millionen Euro allein im ersten Quartal zu Buche.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bestätigt Porsche seinen Ausblick für das Gesamtjahr. Der Konzern rechnet weiterhin mit einem Umsatz zwischen 35 und 36 Milliarden Euro und einer operativen Umsatzrendite von 5,5 bis 7,5 Prozent. Die derzeitige Marge von 7,1 Prozent liegt damit am oberen Ende der Spanne, dürfte aber im weiteren Jahresverlauf stärker von Sonderkosten belastet werden. Der Umbau unter dem neuen Vorstandschef Michael Leiters, der das Unternehmen nach einem massiven Ergebniseinbruch im vergangenen Jahr in den Krisenmodus geführt hat, könnte bereits vor dem für Oktober angesetzten Kapitalmarkttag weitere strategische Entscheidungen bringen. Mögliche Auswirkungen des Iran-Konflikts sind in der Prognose bislang nicht berücksichtigt.
