In recent years, with the advent of international manufacturing automation, the domestic industrial manufacturing industry is undergoing rapid transformation, and the demand for automation software and hardware equipment is high. In this process, the inevitable market demand for industrial robots is Strong growth, in 2015 China became the world's largest demand market.
At present, the application field of industrial robots is expanding, the types are more numerous, the functions are getting stronger and stronger, and the level of automation and intelligence is significantly improved. According to the statistics of the International Robot Federation, the demand from the automobile and parts industry accounts for about 60% of the total downstream demand of industrial robots. In Asia, the demand for industrial robots in the electrical and electronic industry ranks second only to the automotive industry.
1. Market demand shows rapid growth
According to IHS Inc. research report "China Industrial Robot Market 2013", China's industrial robot body market reached 800 million US dollars in 2012, and will reach a scale of 1.3 billion US dollars in 2017 with a compound annual growth rate of 10%.
After the decline in 2009, the Chinese industrial robot market has maintained strong growth in recent years. In 2010, the sales volume of the Chinese robot market was 14,900 units, and in 2011, it reached 22,000 units. In 2012, the number of industrial robots sold in China reached 29,000 units. In 2015, it reached 35,000 units, becoming the largest market. At the same time, IHS predicted that the number of industrial robots sold in China will be 52,000 units in 2017.
The development of industrial robots is an important indicator to measure the manufacturing level and technology level of a country; an important tool and means to reshape the competitive advantage of China's manufacturing industry; and to accelerate the pragmatic choice of China's industrial transformation and upgrading.
At present, domestic enterprises generally face a problem: recruitment is difficult. This also indicates that the demographic dividend that has continued for decades is dying out, and domestic enterprises relying on traditional labor-intensive production are also forced to transform, and industrial robots entering the factory will “continue†the demographic dividend. The transformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises under the impetus of such an intelligent trend is imminent.
How to realize the gorgeous turn from one-way manufacturing to "smart manufacturing" has become a difficult problem in traditional manufacturing, but with the advent of industrial robots, traditional industries have seen a dawn in the layers of dark clouds. To build a smart factory with an industrial robot group, what is a smart factory? Answer: A factory with perception, thinking and execution. In other words, the smart factory will be able to achieve unattended operation, only the operator needs to input the production instruction at the host terminal, then the smart factory will operate automatically. This optimally configured factory will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the traditional industry. .
2. China's industrial robot challenges and opportunities
Affected by rapid development of technology, scarcity of labor resources, and further improvement in production efficiency, global industrial robots will usher in a broader development space and higher development speed. In terms of regional distribution, with the development of manufacturing in Asia, the demand for industrial robots in various industries has increased, and the demand for industrial robots has gradually shifted from Europe and the United States to Asia. Under such a background, for China's industrial robot industry, it can be said that there are both opportunities and difficulties.
In recent years, under the influence of rapid expansion of demand and national independent innovation policies, a large number of domestic enterprises have independently developed or cooperated with research institutes to enter the ranks of industrial robot development and production, and China's industrial robots have entered the stage of initial industrialization. Some products have begun to be industrialized and applied, but because they are not as good as imported products in terms of accuracy and speed, these products have low industrial application, lack of brand recognition and small market share.
I have mastered some advanced technologies, but the overall technical level is still low. At present, China has basically mastered the design and manufacturing technology of robotic manipulators, control system hardware and software design technology, kinematics and trajectory planning technology, and produced some key components of robots, and developed spray painting, arc welding, electric welding, assembly, handling, etc. robot. The technical level of some products has reached the international advanced level, but there is still a big gap in the overall technology, which is only equivalent to the level of foreign countries in the mid-1990s.
Focus on robotic ontology optimization design technology, new generation intelligent robot controller, key robot component unit manufacturing technology, robot offline programming and simulation technology, robot motion control based on external sensing technology, industrial robot fault remote diagnosis and repair technology, industrial robot A number of key core technologies, such as coordinated operation technology with complete sets of equipment, provide technical support for the large-scale production of industrial robots. In addition to improving the performance of robots, it is necessary to vigorously strengthen the development of large-scale, professional application engineering software. A number of industrial robot clusters with complete industrial chain and complete industrial support with international influence are cultivated nationwide.
Industrial development prospectsNowadays, the human-oriented production model will become a robot-oriented manufacturing model in the future. Although this will reduce some traditional jobs, the new smart manufacturing model will also generate many new jobs. Industrial robots are powerful technical means to realize the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry.
1. What is the level of domestic industrial robot manufacturing compared with foreign countries?
We are not behind in terms of technology such as control accuracy and functionality. However, there are still gaps in the manufacturing process, products and brands. The key to the gap is the core components, such as servo motors, high-precision gears, reducers, bearings, etc., which are now generally imported.
Of course, the basis of casting, processing and other processes, China has made great progress in recent years, and it is not too far away. Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Association of Mould & Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers, believes that robots need to develop their own industries and create brands. Robots are products of “three highs†in terms of capital, technology and talents, and they need continuous innovation.
2. In what direction will industrial robot technology develop in the future?
The future will develop into intelligent robots. The production of robots, robotic mechanisms are carriers, and more depends on the functional connotation. The level of robots depends on technologies such as control, software, and intelligence. Robots that are not smart are just low-end robots.
The future development of robots requires informationization and network support, and relies on the development of control technology and sensing technology. Future industrial robots will be typical IoT products. The development of technologies such as control, microelectronics, sensing, and new materials will provide the basic conditions for intelligent robots. After the development of these robot-related support technologies, robotics experts will study how to integrate innovation and let robots develop into intelligent robots.
3. What is the development prospect of the industrial robot industry?
The robot industry is not a general industry, and has a development prospect beyond imagination. The industrial revolution turned people into slaves of machines. People serve machines on the production line, working fast and in a bad environment. But industrial robots can free humans from this state, and people can engage in more advanced work. In addition, Luo Baihui believes that service robots can also change our way of life.
Nowadays, the human-oriented production model will become a robot-oriented manufacturing model in the future. Although this will reduce some traditional jobs, the new smart manufacturing model will also generate many new jobs. China is now experiencing a structural shortage of labor, a shortage of migrant workers, a shortage of senior technicians, and a sharp rise in manufacturing costs.
Industrial robots are powerful technical means to realize the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Robots can change people's future production lifestyles. It can be concluded that in the future, robots will enter every household and society in the same way as mobile phones and computers.
