The "Safety Cornerstone" of New Energy Vehicles and Autonomous Driving The EMB (Electro-Mechanical Brake) system replaces traditional hydraulic braking with direct motor drive, achieving a braking response time of under 90 milliseconds, while also offering advantages such as lightweight design, low maintenance cost, and high intelligent compatibility. As a core actuator for L3 and above autonomous driving, EMB technology is globally regarded as the standard solution for next-generation braking systems. According to industry analysis, global EMB system sales reached $0.01 billion in 2023 and are expected to reach $19.45 billion by 2030, with the Chinese market potentially accounting for over 10.3%. However, its industrialization faces two major challenges: high-precision assembly requirements and stability verification for large-scale production. Solving the "Bottleneck" and Reshaping the Global Industry LandscapeCASMT has already implemented a commercial EMB final assembly and testing line. Using third-generation EOL performance testing technology, it can complete critical processes such as rollover function verification and semi-physical simulation, greatly improving assembly efficiency. In this cooperation, CASMT will be responsible for the development of flexible production line modules, integration of AGV logistics systems, and MES digital management, achieving mass production, shortening EMB product development cycles, reducing line brake costs, and accelerating the commercialization of advanced autonomous driving.
