As the "crown jewel in the manufacturing industry," the robot industry has seen explosive growth in recent years. China has also become the world's largest robot market. However, the progress of robot technology in our country how? Industry said that domestic manufacturers of technology research and development is still focused on the reducer, servo motors and other core components of the autonomy.
China's robot industry usher in multiple positive good
In 2014, China's industrial robot sales reached 57,000 units, an increase of 55% over the same period of previous year, accounting for about one quarter of global sales and becoming the world's largest robot market for two consecutive years.
As the world's largest manufacturing power, China is moving toward the goal of building a powerful nation. The creation of a powerful nation is even more a "smart and powerful nation." As the natural conditions are favorable, the robot industry in our country is ushering in a pattern of multiple favorable conditions.
The first is the policy level. At a press conference of the 2015 World Robot Conference, Mao Weiming, vice minister of MIIT revealed that according to the Guiding Opinion on Promoting the Development of Industrial Robot Industry issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the plan for the development of China's robot industry during the "13th Five-year Plan" will be completed by the end of October this year. The key objective of the State Council to formally launch "Made in China 2025" is to achieve the goal of making power from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing power. Its core is to seize the commanding height of a new round of international manufacturing. Its main measure is to further promote the in-depth integration of industrialization and informationization, Its main direction is intelligent manufacturing. The robot, 3D printing is an important support and rely on intelligent manufacturing. All walks of life have made "Made in China 2025" a Chinese version of "Industry 4.0," while intelligent manufacturing is regarded as a breakthrough point in the integration of information technology and industrialization, as well as a point of combination with the "Internet" mentality.
Second, the market is huge. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), by 2020, the density of robots in China will reach over 100 units / 10,000 people (currently about 30 robots per 10,000 factory workers), with a demand of at least 1.1 million units. At present, the number of robots in China is only 180,000 Taiwan, there is a big gap.
Finally, the market potential is gradually activated, manufacturers competing layout. More and more listed companies optimistic about the robotics industry, have plans to march into the robotics field. Luo Baihui, vice president of Dongguan Robot Technology Association, said that as of the end of 2014, China had more than 4,000 robot companies, of which more than 60 are listed companies, robotics industry park has more than 40, is expected to 2020 local robotic industrial park Investment will exceed 500 billion yuan.
Advances in Industrial Robotics
In the past, the most widely used industrial robot was the automobile manufacturing industry, and now, the industrial robot manufacturing enterprises are trying to expand to other fields. Enterprises that manufacture industrial robots in this context are also springing up. According to statistics, only about 200 industrial robot manufacturers were added to China's domestic market last year. For the industrial robot market prospects, the industry is unanimously optimistic about the general that the next 5 to 10 years will usher in an explosion of industrial robots. However, in order to benefit from this wave if it is not easy, you must have a strong technical foundation, then the progress of industrial robot technology?
1. In 2014, the world's leading industrial robots put human-machine collaboration, miniaturization and light-weight as key R & D directions for industrial robots
In 2014, ABB developed a number of industrial robot products and proposed solutions to develop the human-robot coordinated dual-arm robot YuMi and the new small robot IRB1200. YuMi is a robot designed by ABB China R & D team with visual and tactile functions. YuMi can meet the consumer electronics industry's need for flexibility and flexibility in manufacturing, and will gradually be used in more areas to improve the automation of small assembly and other fields. The small robot IRB1200 can be widely used in industrial processes such as loading and unloading, assembly of small parts, polishing and grinding, reducing the space occupied by production equipment by 15% and speeding up production by 10%, which will increase equipment production efficiency and reduce costs.
