Over 400 robots relocated a historic complex in Shanghai - What does this operation say about the future of relocation?

A groundbreaking move - historic complex relocated in Shanghai

A complex of historic shikumen-style buildings, one of Shanghai’s architectural landmarks, was relocated with millimeter precision. The operation was carried out without interfering with the building’s structure. The entire process was monitored and coordinated by advanced control systems and load monitoring sensors. Within just a few hours, the complex was successfully moved to a new location, without cranes, without dismantling, and without downtime.

This remarkable event raises a question: Can the relocation of heavy industrial assets be carried out with the same level of precision? The answer is yes, provided there is proper planning, the right technology, and a skilled team.

What can industry learn from the relocation of Shanghai’s historic complex?

A relocation like the one carried out in Shanghai is more than just a triumph of robotics. It’s a perfect example of how technology, engineering, and project management can come together, an approach directly applicable to the relocation of machinery and industrial infrastructure.

At Tincors, we’ve approached machine and full production line relocations in much the same way for years: strategically, in phases, using technical data and advanced equipment.

The future of relocation: automation, but not without humans

The automated relocation of the Shanghai complex is an impressive demonstration of what modern technology can achieve. However, even the most advanced robots require the collaboration of people, experts in planning, engineering, and safety.

At Tincors, we combine modern technology with the expertise of our teams. When a client entrusts us with a relocation, they get more than just equipment, they get competence and accountability.
