🚀 #Singapore's Role in the Global Robotics Revolution 📊 The world just set a new record! 3.9 million operational industrial robots are transforming our industries in 2022. And, guess who's one of the countries leading this revolution? Singapore, with a staggering 730 robots per 10,000 employees. 🌏 Asia is dominating the robot density game. Singapore, despite its small manufacturing workforce, is making strategic moves with cutting-edge automation technologies. 🇸🇬 Singapore's rise isn't some happy accident. It's the result of proactive policies and a culture that fosters innovation. Embracing industrial robots, they're enhancing productivity, efficiency, and global competitiveness. 📈 This isn't just a regional trend. The global average robot density has more than doubled over the past six years, hitting an all-time high of 151 robots per 10,000 employees. It's clear robots are here to stay. 🌍 This shift towards smarter, more efficient manufacturing processes is a game changer. For Singapore, keeping this momentum is vital. Continued investments in robotics and automation will keep them ahead of the curve. 💡 Looking ahead, innovation and automation are the keys to economic growth and industrial dominance. Singapore's leadership in robot density shows they're ready to embrace the future and drive the next era of manufacturing. 🏭 Remember, it's not about replacing humans.

Back from an exciting week in China 🇨🇳, where we had our first mini-mini build of the CA1 robot! While we couldn’t bring it back home just yet (I tried though 😝), 2025 is going to be the year when CA1 is officially built and delivered across Europe! It’s amazing to be part of Circus Group and making our strides in China, a market where robotics 🤖 isn’t just welcomed but fully embraced and supported in every way. China is honestly nothing short of a modern-day miracle. A country that used to look to the West for inspiration is now setting the global standard in innovation. From foldable 3-sided phones and affordable EVs to robotics restaurants and AI-driven smart cities, their progress is next-level. Imagine, the Shanghai subway displays the next 3 trains arrival times in seconds, along with how full each compartment is. When I first came to China in 2008 to study for my bachelor’s degree, it was such a different place. Back then, theft wasn’t uncommon, traffic lights were often ignored, and the air quality was awful. Now, it’s clean streets, spotless public places, and an incredible order everywhere you go (Of course it takes a minute to get used to cameras, but the feeling of safety you get after is worth it). Technology isn’t just about innovation here; it’s seamlessly integrated into daily life. I’m so excited about what’s next for us in China and can’t wait to see Circus Group grow in such a remarkable market! PS: “fueling humanity” on my hoodie is our slogan. Can’t wait to see many people across all China wearing such merch 😎 Haomiao Fang Helge Plehn
