Robot Industrial Park No more than the real estate industry who takes more than who is strong

Modern manufacturing is not synonymous with assembly lines, and Foxconn, the world's largest foundry, has begun to develop robots on a large scale, hoping to replace them with machines in the future. I see in the auto parts factory, as long as there is a large number of stable orders, the first thing business owners is to buy mechanical arm to replace artificial. Qutauqui, President of Siasun Robotics Inc., in 2012, accepted the new wealth Arabian, said that at least 300,000 of the 1 million were not jobs and sweatshops had to be done by robots. But orders have changed, the product cycle is very short to a large number of suppliers, this time to need a large number of people, robots and intelligent, also need to program, to debug.

In order to stabilize the manufacturing plant, the robot benefits a lot, no significant increase in costs, not because of emotional changes in the production of substandard parts, improve the standardization rate, almost all business owners have said that the purchase of mechanical arm, although expensive, but in the long run cost lower. And in the clean, dangerous operation, logistics and other fields, the robot also play a manual difficult to play a role.

2013, China's industrial robot sales reached 36560 units, an increase of 60%, has surpassed Japan to become the world's first robot power. In spite of this, the number of robots used in China is still relatively low in the developed countries, with the indicator of the quantity of robots per thousand, China has only 23 units/thousand people, less than one-tenth of Japan, and the world average level of 55 Taiwan also has a big gap. From the highest level of automation, robot application most of the automotive industry, the five world Advanced car manufacturers in Japan, Germany, France, the United States, Italy, the automotive industrial robot density reached more than 1000 per million people, China even if the big increase is only 213 units per million.

Some people blame why the assembly is not as good as Germany and the United States and Japan, there is only one reason, process and standardization is not as advanced as developed countries, and the degree of standardization of robots is much better than artificial. The specifications of some of the Apple's micro screws are required to be accurate to 1% mm, and the robot operates much better.

China's robot industry has developed rapidly, with a growth rate of 50% in 2013. Statistics show that in 2013, China's manufacturing workers in the number of 50 million people, and industrial robots in the traditional alternative areas such as automobiles, electronics, chemicals and food industries such as the number of workers in 30 million people. Assuming that the average industrial robot density reaches 100 units per million in these industries around 2020 years, there are 300,000 alternative space for industrial robots.

The robotics industry is not as high as the high-speed rail China as the largest market for robots, the lack of core technology, the core components of a serious bottleneck, domestic robots in the domestic robot market share of only 13%, in the High-tech robotics field, we usually earn or assemble the hard money, and Apple's profit share of a ratio.

Guangzhou CNC Deputy Chief Engineer He Yingwu this April, said in an interview with the media, "(robot) upstream is the core components, mainly reducer and control system, which is equivalent to the robot's" brain ", the middle is the robot body, is the robot" body ", downstream is the system integrator, the domestic 95% Enterprises are focused on this link. "Generally a robot body on the general has 6 reducer, 1 to 3 axis with imported reducer, 4 to 6 axes can be developed by China's self-developed reducer, but the technology is immature, can not be mass-produced." Domestic robots used by the reducer, servo motor and drive is mainly foreign supply, of which Japan is the largest exporter of reducer.

The upstream profit value of the robot is the highest, only one of the speed reducer accounted for about 35% of the robot cost, the motor and controller accounted for about 10%. Because of the high cost of the key parts and the negative profit margin, the domestic robot is keeping the high gross profit level in every link of the robot industry chain, in which the gross profit margin of the medical operation robot is the highest, close to more than 70%.

Japan, Korea and other countries to implement the strategy of robot power, how Mr. Noble said, "South Korea attaches importance to service types (such as education, entertainment) robots, which dominate the standards of this type of robot; American leading high-end robots, such as exploration, explosion-proof and other functional robots; Japanese industrial robots are excellent and cheaper than ABB; ABB, Sweden, represents Europe's technology, craftsmanship, and the most complete and best industrial chain ", and China needs all these robots, and the question is, are the companies that are busy in the valley ready?"

According to the Institute of Engineering Robotics Industry statistics, as of June 2014, the country has built or proposed robot-related industrial park (base) has more than 30, industrial park planning area of more than 28,000 acres. The planned investment by 2020 exceeded 500 billion yuan. Robot is not real estate, not to take much, the park area has a core industry, the concept of stock market also can not break through the core technology bottlenecks.

Chinese robots need to use the global open source system, so that young people willing to hand in the garage using low-cost domestic spare parts, to create a creative robot, and ultimately not only into the enterprise, but also into ordinary people's homes. For Chinese entrepreneurs, the question, system and technology is the real problem, not the other.
