Xiaomi revolutionizes the automotive industry with the SU7, an electric car produced in just 72 seconds. Using advanced technologies, automated systems and rigorous quality inspection, the company sets new standards of efficiency and innovation in vehicle manufacturing.
Xiaomi, known worldwide for its smartphones and electronic devices, is causing a real stir in the automobile market with the launch of its first electric car, the SU7. Since its launch, the SU7 has been a sales success, even facing stock issues due to high demand.
Furthermore, the news boosts the company's shares, which now stands out not only in the technology sector, but also in the automotive industry.
How does Xiaomi manage to assemble the SU7 in 72 seconds?
What is really impressive is the production efficiency of the SU7. Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, revealed that the factory responsible for manufacturing the vehicle can produce 40 units per hour, or one every 72 seconds.

But how does Xiaomi manage to achieve such efficiency? The secret lies in the advanced production processes adopted by the company, known as gigacasting and stamping.
Gigacasting, one of the key processes, uses T of die-cast alloy materials and a large equipment cluster system, all developed in-house by Xiaomi.
This process allows many individual components to be grouped together into a single casting, resulting in faster, more efficient production.
This method not only saves space in the factory, but also guarantees greater rigidity to the vehicle.
Another highlight is the 9100t assembly system, developed in partnership with the Haitian company.
Occupying an area of around 850 m², this machine is responsible for creating the entire rear part of the SU7 in just 100 seconds, eliminating the need for 72 individual parts in the process.
This results in savings of 45% in production time and a 17% reduction in vehicle weight, increasing its electric range.
The 9100t system and its contribution to SU7 efficiency
The 9100t system is just one of 60 devices and 433 processes that make up die casting in the manufacture of the SU7.
Additionally, Xiaomi employs 700 robots and 181 autonomous mobile robots on the assembly line, contributing to the impressive production rate of 40 units per hour.
Although mathematics suggests that one unit is produced every 72 seconds, in practice, the manufacture of each vehicle involves several complex steps.
After the car body is formed by the 9100t system, it is sent to a workstation where eight robots install the vehicle doors in a few seconds.
The units are then taken to the paint shop, where a quick color change system optimizes filling, cleaning and paint application, allowing quick changes to customer requests.
This process reduces order delivery time by 25%.
Ensuring SU7 excellence
In the final assembly shop, the windshields and panoramic top are installed by automatic robotic arms in a process that takes an average of 30 seconds, half the time compared to most car factories.
During all these procedures, Xiaomi uses the X-Eye quality inspection system, which has an accuracy of 99,9% in detecting production defects, ensuring the high quality of the vehicles.
Xiaomi's high-tech assembly line that produces 40 cars per hour
The success of the SU7 reflects not only technological innovation, but also the positive impact on Xiaomi's shares.
Production efficiency and the adoption of advanced technologies place Xiaomi in a prominent position in the automobile industry, competing with large traditional brands.
The SU7 is not just an efficient electric car; it represents a significant change in the way vehicles are produced, combining Xiaomi's technological expertise with innovations in automotive manufacturing.
With such an efficient production process and advanced technologies, Xiaomi promises to continue revolutionizing the market, providing consumers with high quality and performance products.
With the SU7, Xiaomi not only expands its portfolio, but also sets new standards in the automobile industry, demonstrating that the future of electric cars can be more efficient, faster and sustainable.
