In the 2024 Intelligent Welding Robot Industry Blue Book published by GaoGong Industry Research Institute (GGII), Dauphin Smarts received special recognition for its in-house AI autonomous-decision welding system and is listed alongside global names such as KUKA and Friendess as a leading core-module supplier of intelligent welding control systems.
In the newly released 2024 Intelligent Welding Robot Industry Development Blue Book, Jiangsu Dauphin Smart Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("Dauphin Smarts") received special mention from the industry for its innovative AI autonomous-decision welding system for industrial robots. The Blue Book — meticulously compiled and edited by GaoGong Industry Research Institute (GGII) — is an authoritative report bringing together representative players and core technologies in China's intelligent welding robot value chain, and a key reference for the industry.
GGII enjoys a strong reputation in smart manufacturing. As one of China's leading robotics research institutes, it is known for in-depth market research, rigorous data analysis and forward-looking industry insights. GGII drives the advance and adoption of robotic technology and provides scientific, objective evidence to inform government decisions, corporate strategy and industry investment. Its reports and datasets are widely regarded as the industry's "weather vane".
The inclusion confirms Dauphin Smarts' technical strength and market competitiveness in intelligent welding, and reflects strong industry endorsement of its innovation. By integrating advanced machine vision, deep-learning algorithms and intelligent control, the AI autonomous-decision welding system delivers automation and intelligence for the welding process, significantly improving quality, efficiency and safety — a revolutionary advance for non-standard metal fabrication.
The Blue Book lists Dauphin Smarts among the representative domestic and international suppliers of core modules for intelligent welding control, on a par with internationally known names such as KUKA and Friendess Electronics. This marks a leading industry position in both technological innovation and market applications.
Dauphin Smarts stands out in intelligent welding control. Its Metallique welding system, powered by advanced AI, has achieved automated and intelligent welding with notable gains in efficiency and quality. The system is recognised in the domestic market and its influence is steadily expanding internationally.
While traditional teach-and-program methods remain the mainstream for large-scale standardised production thanks to their stability and economics, teach-free intelligent welding is emerging — signalling a major shift. Welding robots face challenges around process complexity, structural diversity and non-standard parts, particularly in steel structures. The core advantage of teach-free is its adaptability to non-standard workpieces, providing the flexibility needed for diverse welding requirements.
Amid the intelligent transformation of welding, teach-free technology has become an R&D hotspot. Welding robots achieve teach-free operation in two main ways: model-driven and vision-driven. The model-driven side acts as the robot's "brain" — handling processing and decisions — while the 3D vision system serves as its "eyes", identifying and locating targets. Together they form the core of an intelligent welding system, complementary and indispensable. As technology advances, teach-free welding is expected to fundamentally change how welding is produced.
This achievement comes from Dauphin Smarts' long-term commitment to technical innovation and a market-driven approach, and reflects its pursuit of excellence in smart manufacturing. As smart manufacturing deepens, Dauphin Smarts will continue working with industry partners to advance intelligent welding technology and deliver more efficient, reliable welding solutions to global customers — supporting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector.
