Kepler's March 2026 application release names K2 at Zhaofeng's automotive-component production workshop. The account supports a named customer-site trial claim but does not identify the factory branch or station operation.

This is deliberately kept separate from partnership announcements, component-supply agreements and later reporting about other robot fleets at Zhaofeng. A supplier relationship does not by itself establish a humanoid's operating task, and counts attached to another manufacturer cannot be reused for K2.

The record remains a limited pilot with no invented coordinates or measured result. The next evidence needed is customer confirmation of the model, production station and operating window. Without that, the application is useful as a traceable industrial lead, not a benchmark for throughput, reliability or labour savings.
