Engineered for high-volume injection molding, zero-defect extraction, and continuous operation in demanding manufacturing environments.
Strategic overview of industrial growth drivers across Bogotá D.C., Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla.
Colombia has established itself as the fourth-largest manufacturing economy in Latin America, propelled by robust growth in plastic conversion, automotive assembly, food & beverage packaging, and consumer goods. Key industrial epicenters such as Cundinamarca (Bogotá), Antioquia (Medellín), Valle del Cauca (Cali), and Atlántico (Barranquilla) are experiencing an accelerated shift toward smart industrial automation.
According to data from ACOPLASTICOS (the Colombian Plastics Industry Association), Colombia processes over 1.2 million metric tons of plastic resins annually. However, industrial facilities across the nation face structural challenges, including rising energy costs, localized labor shortages for technical shifts, and stringent international standards for exported packaging materials. Consequently, plastic injection molders and manufacturers are actively upgrading legacy manual systems to multi-axis AC servo manipulators.
Under the framework of global supply chain realignments, Colombia benefits significantly from its strategic geographic positioning with dual-ocean port access (Cartagena and Buenaventura). The expansion of nearshoring activities—supported by trade agreements such as the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement—has compelled domestic factories to adopt high-tier industrial robotics to maintain competitive unit costs.
As a leading Chinese technology exporter, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. delivers engineered robotic solutions tailored specifically to the operational parameters of Latin American industrial sectors, offering European-level kinematic performance with an optimized cost-to-performance ratio.
A trusted global manufacturer dedicated to technological innovation, ISO9001 quality assurance, and CE-certified automation equipment.
Founded in 2017 against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. emerged from a dedicated insight into high-speed precision manufacturing. The enterprise initially specialized in heavy-duty truss manipulators, establishing market authority in complex production environments such as thermos cups, vacuum flasks, and lunch box manufacturing.
Recognized as a national "High-tech Enterprise", Zhiyi has scaled its R&D infrastructure, developing a comprehensive portfolio including 3-axis servo robots, 5-axis dual-arm servo robots, articulated robots, and fully automated downstream packaging machinery.
Holds 11 utility patents and inventions spanning advanced mechanical structure design, multi-axis motion control algorithms, sensor fusion, and intelligent EOAT (End-of-Arm Tooling) clamping systems.
All production lines operate under strict ISO9001 quality control protocols. Products carry complete CE certifications, complying with international mechanical and electrical safety directives.
Through strategic initiatives and regional partnerships, Zhiyi provides direct technical consultation, customized OEM/ODM engineering, and round-the-clock technical support for factory operations across Latin America.
Advanced kinematics and intelligent controllers optimized for Injection Molding Machines ranging from 50T to 3200T.

Custom-engineered automation tailored to key regional manufacturing clusters.
High-speed 3-axis and 5-axis servo robots extract thin-wall food containers, carbonated beverage closures, and cosmetic bottles with ultra-short cycle times. Seamless integration with vision inspection systems guarantees zero deformation and eliminates contamination.
Heavy-payload 3-axis Bullhead robots (such as the WKG-1500) handle structural automotive injection parts including interior dashboards, door panels, and exterior trim components. Includes automatic hot-runner gate cutting and ultrasonic welding attachments.
For heavy-duty mold machines producing plastic buckets, fruit crates, and municipal waste bins, Zhiyi dual-section robotic arms provide stable part extraction, reducing mold-open dwell time by up to 40% and protecting high-value molds from damage.
Advancing the frontier of AI-driven factory robotics, energy efficiency, and digital twin monitoring.
Future iterations of Zhiyi robotic controllers feature native IoT protocols (OPC UA, Modbus TCP, Euromap 67 / Euromap 73). Real-time vibration analysis, thermal monitoring on servo drives, and cycle degradation algorithms allow Colombian factory managers to perform predictive maintenance, minimizing unplanned downtime.
With industrial electricity tariffs rising across Latin America, Zhiyi is pioneering regenerative braking energy recovery units inside servo controller cabinets. Deceleration energy from vertical and horizontal axes is captured and converted back into electrical power, lowering total robot energy draw by up to 22%.
Empowering over 500+ global project implementations with reliable industrial automation.
Addressing engineering specifications, electrical standards, installation support, and export logistics.
Yes. While standard Chinese systems operate at 380V 50Hz, all robotic arms built for export to Colombia are custom-configured for 220V / 440V AC 3-Phase at 60Hz. Step-down or isolation transformers can be integrated into the control cabinet upon request.
Our robots support standard international signal interfaces, including Euromap 12 and Euromap 67 plug-and-play connectors. For legacy molding machines without standard interfaces, we supply hardwired relay communication boxes for quick retrofit.
Manufacturing lead time at our Zhejiang factory takes approximately 15–20 days. Maritime transit to major Colombian sea ports (Port of Cartagena on the Atlantic side or Buenaventura on the Pacific side) typically ranges from 28 to 35 days via direct shipping lines.
We supply complete spare parts kits (including pneumatic valves, servo drives, sensors, and suction cups) with each shipment. Additionally, our engineering team provides remote video diagnostics, step-by-step installation guidance, and live programming assistance.
