The development of robotics ushered in the spring In this summit forum, the International Robot Federation unveiled the latest global data: In 2014, the global sales of industrial robots was approximately 250,000, an increase of 27% over 2013. Industrial robot sales have grown in all major global markets, with the Asian market growing by more than half.
China's performance is particularly dazzling. In 2014, sales of industrial robots were approximately 56,000 units, and sales of industrial robots in China increased by 54% year-on-year, indicating that China is accelerating the speed of industrial robots. Andrews Paul, chairman of the industrial robot supplier group, predicted that the number of industrial robots manufactured in China will be the highest in the world in 2016.
Looking at the data on market segments in China, in 2014 China’s robotics market, the total import volume was 40,000 units, an increase of 47% year-on-year; the total domestic production volume was 17,000 units, an alarming year-on-year increase of 77%. From the application perspective, robots purchased in electronics and electrical fields accounted for 39% of the total, metal processing accounts for 20%, and automobile manufacturing accounts for 15%.
According to Qu Dao-kui, the use density of robots in factories is still very low. He believes that global industrial robots are now too dependent on the automotive industry. The number of robots used by 10,000 workers is 440 in South Korea, 332 in Japan and 273 in Germany.
According to Andreas Paul, the current average robot density in the world is 62 robots per 10,000 employees. It can be seen that the potential market in the world is still very large.
The market is the biggest advantage of development Qu Daoqin said frankly that the Chinese robot market has grown from scratch, from small to large, and the company’s sales volume has also doubled.
Although the development momentum of China's robotics industry has been excellent in the past two years, and the level of technology has been increasing year by year, compared with foreign well-known manufacturers, there is still a considerable gap in the technological level. For example, multi-joint robots, sophisticated high-end robots are still dominated by foreign companies.
Qu Dao-kui mentioned that, for example, in the robot parts industry in China, technologies such as speed reducers and servo motors need to be further developed and there is still a long way to go in the future.
So, in the face of the late start of the current situation, the advantages and prospects of China's robotics industry development where?
"The market is China's biggest advantage." Qu Dao-kui believes that this market will last 8 to 10 years, providing a good support for the development of Chinese companies.
He predicted that in fact, the largest demand for robots in China is the electronics and electrical industries, followed by the metal machining industry. Labor-intensive industries, dangerous and boring environments will all be the market for robotics development in the near future. In terms of technology, in the future, man-machine collaboration, dual-arm robots, lightweight robots, and simpler applications will be the future trend of robotic products.
He Minjia, chairman and general manager of Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd., said that China’s robots are in a period of development. Four years ago, CNC machines were used to "see" and were placed there to look like. In just a few years, the factory machinery manufacturing industry has now been able to do without CNC machine tools. Now that CNC machine tools have become popular, the next decade is the fastest growing period. After 8 years, China may enter a stable period, and innovative application technologies will be continuously updated.
In addition, Yaskawa Nishikawa, general manager of Yaskawa Electric (China) Co., Ltd. Robot Division, said that in the early days of the development of the robotics industry in Japan, the leasing business provided an impetus to the Japanese robotics industry. Until now, many Japanese robotics companies are mainly engaged in leasing business.
Steven White, director of marketing and sales of ABB Group's robotics division, is also full of confidence in the future of the Chinese robot market, saying that the company has launched suitable products for the Chinese market.
Policy line has been delineated from the policy level, with the rapid spread of robot applications, the integration of robots and the Internet of Things; cloud computing, the use and development of big data, laid the foundation for the arrival of Industry 4.0 era. Experts generally believe that this is the "night before" the new industrial revolution. In 2015, the robot industry in China was destined to be an extraordinary year. The "Made in China 2025" and "Strong Power Strategy" all listed robots as a key technology for the development of China's manufacturing industry.
At this forum, the participating companies carefully read the "Made in China 2025" strategy. The strategy clearly put forward the action plan for the first decade of China's strategy to implement a strong manufacturing country. It will regard “high-end CNC machine tools and robots†as one of the key areas to be promoted, and proposed that the development of the robot industry should focus on automobiles, machinery, and electronics. In the area of ​​industrial robots such as dangerous goods manufacturing, defense industry, chemical industry, and light industry, as well as medical robots, home services, educational entertainment, and other service robot applications, R&D actively develops new products, promotes standardization and modularization of robots, and expands market applications. Breakthroughs in bottleneck such as key components and system integration design and manufacturing technologies such as robot body, reducer, servo motor, controller, sensor and driver.
In the roadmap for technological innovation in key areas, it is clarified that the development of the robot industry in China in the next ten years will focus on two main directions: First, develop serialization products for industrial robots and key components, promote the industrialization and application of industrial robots, and meet the needs of China. The urgent need for transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Second, breakthrough in the key technology of intelligent robots, the development of a number of intelligent robots, and actively respond to the challenges of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change.
