Robot or will change "World factory"

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan, will invest nearly 10 billion yen (about 604 million yuan) in China to build a new plant for industrial robots. It is planned to start production in April 2015, with an annual production capacity of about 2000 units for sale to local automakers in China. In addition, Japan Seiko Epson also plans to use for precision parts assembly of the "horizontal multi-joint robot" manufacturing business gradually transferred to China. In China, where labor costs are rising, the number of robots invested to reduce labor is increasing every year. Japanese companies want to rely on Japanese technology to improve efficiency and to fully explore the Chinese market.

　　Japanese industrial robots Eager

Kawasaki Heavy industry will be built in the hydraulic equipment plant in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province Set up a new plant, the total construction area of 10000 square meters, mainly producing robots for automotive welding and parts handling.

production scale of the plant to 2017 year will be increased to 1 million Taiwan. The robot manufacturing capability of Kawasaki heavy industry in Japan is currently Taiwan, if you add China, the total output will be close to Span style= "line-height:125%; font-size:16px ">3 Taiwan, this scale in the global same field will be one of a handful.

Seiko Epson plans to transfer the production of "horizontal multi-joint robot" from the Changye County plant in Japan to Shenzhen. The robot can be engaged in the assembly of precision parts such as "Screw screw". The company currently produces 4000 units per year, and Japan and China account for half of the production. In the future, the production system will be adjusted, and all robots except the customized products will be produced in China within 2 years.

Japanese companies transfer production bases, Production costs, including labor costs and purchase costs, are expected to be reduced by up to about

in this industry, Japan's electric motor has begun to use the new plant in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province to start the full production of industrial robots, in the future will be phased expansion of capacity. The current capacity is annual thestation, but to -the year will be increased to1.2million Taiwan. In addition, Japanese manufacturers have also established a production line in Zhangjiagang's oil-hydraulic equipment factory, which plans to -Annual capacity is extended to theTaiwan.

　　The "Factory of the World" is changing

International Robotics Federation, made up of global manufacturers of industrial robots(IFR)statistics show that -China's supply volume reached2.3million units, than .year grew by about50%. The survey concluded that the trend of hand-finished assignments to robots will continue to expand, theyear will reach2.8Taiwan, which is comparable with Japan, and is expected to -year will reach3.4China is expected to become the world's largest market for industrial robots.

At present, in the development of China's market leader is the European enterprises. the ABB Group in Switzerland not only has a production base in China, but also established a research and development base to build the first system to respond to local business needs. The German Kuka robot (KUKA roboter) is also strengthening local sales and service.

China's use of industrial robots is mainly aimed at cutting costs, mainly for automotive factory welding and spraying. But in the future, compared to manual labor, robots can ensure the advantages of stable quality will be concerned, so the semiconductor and other electronic products are likely to gradually adopt industrial robots.

to achieve factory automation requires not only the introduction of industrial robots, but also the construction of the entire corresponding production line. Therefore, it is not only industrial robot industry, automatic handling equipment and other factory automation(FA)it will continue to grow in China. Mitsubishi Electric has also raised the positive performance of its automation investment in Chinese factories. -Fiscal Year(until theyears3Month)'s combined performance expectations.

As China's labor costs continue to rise, the production base of enterprises in various countries has shifted towards Southeast Asia, in addition, the United States is also promoting the return of manufacturing to the United States, known as the "Factory of the World" in China, the situation is changing. China hopes to actively promote production automation through the introduction of industrial robots to restore its advantages as a production base.
