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.
