Full-Chain Intelligent Welding | 2026 ESTUN Arc Welding Channel Partner Conference Successfully Held

Recently, the 2026 ESTUN Arc Welding Product Channel Partner Development Conference, themed "Full-Chain Intelligent Welding, Gathering Strength for the Long Term," was successfully held. Channel partners from all over the country gathered together to advance through four chapters—full-chain layout, digital-intelligent empowerment, ecosystem co-building, and technological achievements—outlining the blueprint of ESTUN's arc welding full-industry-chain ecosystem.

At the beginning of the conference, Wu Kan, President of ESTUN, emphasized: The arc welding business involves the deep integration of robots, power sources, processes, and data, requiring long-term technical accumulation and industrial chain collaboration. Over the past 10-plus years, ESTUN has continuously overcome challenges in the arc welding field and has achieved large-scale delivery in fields such as automotive manufacturing and new energy. In the future, ESTUN will continue to use technology as the cornerstone and channels as the bridge, jointly exploring market opportunities, building industry benchmarks, and working together to empower the upgrading of China's mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry and achieve win-win value!

01 Chapter One: Full-Chain Reinforcement, One-Stop Leadership

He Zhijun, General Manager of ESTUN Electric, stated: ESTUN has a fully independent and controllable intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Based on its full-stack technological advantages, ESTUN Electric focuses on the full-industry-chain layout of welding, using independent core technologies and a rich scenario-based data ecosystem as support points to build a solid foundation for manufacturing production line upgrading:

Full-Industry-Chain Strategic Layout: It has built a complete welding ecosystem of "expert processes + welding equipment + digital systems," connecting full-chain capabilities from equipment and processes to solutions.

A Century of Welding Process Heritage: Based on the deep heritage of century-old welding brands CLOOS and REM, it fully leverages the dual-brand technology and market synergy value. From ferrous metal to non-ferrous metal welding processes, and from ultra-thin plate to large thick plate high-efficiency welding technology, it empowers high-end welding manufacturing with international process heritage.

Local Empowerment, One-Stop Delivery: With innovation as the core driver and global resources as the backing, it continuously improves a localized operating system integrating R&D, sales, service, and manufacturing. Nationwide, with a service network of "1 headquarters + 5 major regions," it provides full-lifecycle response from solution evaluation—process optimization and customization—on-site technical support—spare parts maintenance.

02 Chapter Two: Digital-Intelligent Empowerment, Beyond Welding

Unlocking the New Strength of iER Intelligent Arc Welding Robots

Heng Hao, Director of ESTUN's Specialized Robot Products, introduced to everyone: As ESTUN's self-developed new-generation iER intelligent arc welding robot, guided by "high-precision and cutting-edge," it achieves comprehensive improvements in four major areas: "reconstructing software architecture and operating system, integrating hardware and AI intelligent control, full-domain high-precision calibration technology, and intelligent predictive maintenance."

The new strength of iER arc welding robots not only makes every weld "stable and accurate," but also makes production lines "turn faster and stop less," helping to achieve dual leaps in welding quality and efficiency.

Full-Chain Automatic Welding Matrix Empowers Multi-Domain Production Line Upgrading

From "single-point breakthroughs" to "full-chain connectivity," Liu Jun, Solutions Manager of ESTUN Electric, systematically elaborated on the complete layout and core value of the "Full-Chain Automatic Welding Matrix": The product matrix covers application scenarios such as thin plate high-speed welding, medium and thick plate high-efficiency welding, high-flexibility collaborative welding, complex welding application expansion, and laser welding, empowering production line upgrading in multiple fields such as automotive manufacturing, new energy, electric vehicles, energy construction, metal structures, hardware and furniture, construction machinery, and rail transit.

Data-Driven Production Value Continues to Improve

In the full-chain automatic welding matrix, AI industrial embodied intelligence technology moves welding from experience dependence gradually toward a new era of data-driven and autonomous decision-making intelligent welding.

Wu Dehang, Director of ESTUN's AI Industrial Embodied Intelligence Products, introduced to everyone: Based on the new iER.OS arc welding robot + EIRS software platform, the ESTUN industrial embodied intelligence welding system, integrating "vision + robotics + processes," is a software platform with AI technology as the core driving force, covering multiple core algorithms, and featuring high flexibility and high scalability.

Whether it is the rapid deployment of single-machine workstations or the complex collaboration of multi-machine workstations, it achieves full-scenario coverage and flexibly adapts to the welding needs of various thin-plate square tube components such as small pieces, bottom beam frames, and large roofs in the commercial vehicle field, bringing four core values:

Reshaping the welding programming paradigm: Welding programming efficiency increased by up to 90%+, saying goodbye to cumbersome teaching

Doubling the automation rate: From less than 10% to 30%~50%

Leap in weld quality: Yield rate increased from 80% to 90%~95%

Saving labor costs: Saving about 30~50% annually

03 Chapter Three: Ecosystem Co-Building, Gathering Strength for the Long Term

Li Chao, Assistant to the President of ESTUN & Deputy General Manager of ESTUN Electric, released the 2026 ESTUN Arc Welding System Channel Strategy. He stated that ESTUN Electric will continue to build an open and collaborative arc welding industry ecosystem, using channels as the link to connect the complete chain of technology implementation, market expansion, and project delivery, complementing advantages and sharing resources with partners, and jointly exploring growth opportunities in the intelligent welding market.

04 Gathering Strength for Ecosystem Co-Building, Jointly Starting a New Journey of Intelligent Welding

This conference was not only a grand event for sharing products and technologies, but also a grand occasion for building consensus and jointly planning the future of welding. In the future, ESTUN will continue to consolidate its full-industry-chain welding capabilities, deeply cultivate the digital and intelligent welding track, and join hands with channel partners to jointly help the transformation and upgrading of mid-to-high-end manufacturing.
