On March 9, Doosan Robotics announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kwangjin Group for "innovation in automotive parts manufacturing processes and cooperation in robotic automation solutions business."

Kwangjin Group is a global automotive door system components specialist that operates production plants in major locations worldwide, including the United States, Mexico, India, and Vietnam. Its main clients are global automobile manufacturers, and it produces a variety of automotive parts such as window regulators (window up-and-down devices) and door modules.

Currently, Kwangjin Group is operating Doosan Robotics' robots in its assembly and inspection processes for window regulator lines, as well as in the riveting (the process of fixing components with strong pressure), assembly, and inspection processes on door module lines.

Under this agreement, Doosan Robotics will supply an additional eight units by May this year, following the existing eleven, bringing the total to nineteen units. By 2027, the company plans to sequentially supply more than 100 manufacturing robot solutions to Kwangjin Group's domestic and overseas factories.

Doosan Robotics explained that this large-scale supply plan is the result of its technology and reliability being officially validated within the global automotive supply chain. In particular, the decisive factor for expanding cooperation was that the product defect rate dropped to 0% after the introduction of the manufacturing robot solutions.

Doosan Robotics' manufacturing robot solutions can be implemented without changing existing factory layouts and, based on high safety and precision, can collaborate with human operators. In addition, by reducing quality variation that can occur due to differences in operator skill levels, the solutions contribute to lowering defect rates and improving quality. They also help shorten manufacturing cycle times, thereby improving productivity and supporting stable factory operations.

With this agreement, the two companies plan to expand their cooperation beyond large-scale supply, including jointly developing customized robot solutions that can be applied to various automotive parts manufacturing processes. They will also operate a working group to establish step-by-step robot solution implementation plans and build optimal production environments.

Inwon Park, President of Doosan Robotics, stated, "This agreement was concluded based on the strong trust in Doosan Robotics' manufacturing robot solutions. In particular, the tangible achievement of a 0% defect rate led to this large-scale supply partnership." He added, "We will provide full support to ensure the successful implementation of robot solutions at Kwangjin Group's production sites, and through our cooperation, further strengthen our position in the global manufacturing automation market."

Doosan Robotics plans to further expand the proportion of robot solutions that can be immediately applied to real industrial sites, while continuously increasing its investment in research and development (R&D) for intelligent robot solutions that enhance safety and productivity, leading innovation in the manufacturing sector of the future.
