AI Computing Power on the Fast Track: ESTUN Empowers Intelligent Manufacturing of Power Equipment for China's AI Data Centers!

DeepSeek, Doubao, Wenxin Yiyan... Domestic large models are flourishing, and AI applications are accelerating their implementation. But many people overlook a fact: the electricity consumption of computing power centers is growing at an astonishing rate.

According to data from the National Energy Administration, in 2025, China had built 42 10,000-card-level intelligent computing clusters, and the total electricity consumption of computing power centers nationwide reached 170 billion kWh, accounting for 1.6% of total social electricity consumption. It is expected that by 2030, this figure will climb to 800 billion kWh. UBS predicts that from 2026 to 2030, AI + data center electricity consumption will jump from approximately 279 TWh to approximately 1,233 TWh, with a compound annual growth rate of 45%.

AI's "brain" is running, but what truly supports this flower of intelligence is the invisible power artery behind it. The stronger the computing power, the more electricity is consumed. And behind electricity consumption, transformers, switches, and other power transmission and distribution equipment are indispensable.

So, how are these core power equipment manufactured?

ESTUN has given a complete answer.

As a leader in China's industrial robot industry, ESTUN has mature industry solutions in the intelligent manufacturing field of power transmission and distribution equipment such as transformers and switches. In key process sections such as stacking, welding, and grinding, as well as a series of automated assembly processes such as isolator switch automatic assembly lines, circuit breaker automatic assembly lines, and combined electrical total assembly automatic assembly lines, ESTUN robots can cover the key process links in the production of core power equipment, helping customers achieve high-precision and high-consistency intelligent manufacturing, and has reached deep cooperation with multiple industry leading enterprises.

GIS Gas-Insulated Switchgear Intelligent Manufacturing

On the combined electrical total assembly automatic assembly line, ESTUN robots are responsible for fine heavy-load operations such as shell flipping and busbar docking, ensuring assembly precision and efficiency. On the isolator switch automatic assembly line and circuit breaker automatic assembly line, ESTUN robots undertake processes such as precision part picking, automatic positioning, and tightening, replacing the inefficient traditional manual hole alignment and assembly mode, and greatly improving product consistency.

Transformer Intelligent Manufacturing

In the field of transformer manufacturing, ESTUN covers multiple types such as dry-type transformers, solid-state transformers, and ultra-large transformers. From magnetic core lamination and component welding to coil grinding and a series of process sections, ESTUN robots have mature applications.

For example, in the welding process of large transformer oil tanks, in response to pain points such as "small batch, multiple categories," complex weld positions, and heavy teaching and programming work, ESTUN uses efficient welding processes paired with a single/double wire gun changing system, which can flexibly switch welding modes according to different working conditions to meet diverse welding needs.

For the segmented component welding of transformer oil tank walls, ESTUN's robot welding solution has achieved flexible manufacturing on the production line with manual fitting, intelligent logistics transfer, and robot main welding, greatly improving welding efficiency and quality.

In addition to the power equipment industry, ESTUN also provides complete intelligent manufacturing solutions for nearly 100 segmented scenarios such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, and metal processing, taking root downward in segmented industries and growing upward with technological innovation and product upgrades.

As an industry leader, ESTUN fully embraces AI technology, and AI + robotics is precisely ESTUN's current core strategy. In early 2026, ESTUN released the iER.OS control foundation and the new-generation iER.Cloud AI industrial cloud platform, building a "trinity" full-stack technology chain of "AI + Robotics" from the system developer ecosystem, application software ecosystem, to the AI digital management platform.

When AI large models write poetry and paint in the cloud, ESTUN's robots silently laminate, grind, and assemble in factories—the former changes our lifestyle, while the latter solidifies the physical foundation of AI computing power.

From insulated switches and transformers to AIDC data centers, from intelligent manufacturing to AI empowerment, ESTUN robots are injecting the most solid intelligent manufacturing power into China's AI computing power industry, holding up the vast sea of stars of China's AI industry.
