China: ENGINEAI’s 129,000 sq ft factory claims to build one humanoid robot every 15 mins
SMRTR summary
Every 15 minutes, a humanoid robot rolls off an assembly line in Shenzhen. That's the pace at the new ENGINEAI factory, a 129,000-square-foot facility now mass-producing the company's T800 humanoid robot.
Founded just two years ago, ENGINEAI is moving fast. Each robot passes 79 quality checks and 46 simulation tests before shipping, with the facility handling everything from components to after-sales service under one roof.
The company isn't stopping at Shenzhen. A second major production hub is planned in Zhengzhou, with both sites targeting a combined output of up to 10,000 units.
The ambition is backed by serious money. Earlier this year, ENGINEAI closed a $200 million Series B funding round, pushing its valuation past $1.4 billion.
China's broader push into humanoid robotics is accelerating, and ENGINEAI appears to be positioning itself at the center of that race, targeting industries hungry for robots that can handle repetitive, labor-intensive work.
