"Machine substitution" is becoming a hot topic in the manufacturing province of Guangdong.

Guangdong is holding a new Year's "two sessions". From the report of Governor Xiaodan to the proposals and speeches of CPPCC members, it is not difficult to find the high exposure rate of "machine substitution". On the morning of February 9, Guangdong Governor Xiaodan The government work report, two of which refer to the relevant vocabulary: "Promote industrial robots, 3D printing technology and its application of industrialization development", "Accelerate the Pearl River Delta region ' machine substitution ' pace."

The Government's attention has made the industry feel excited. However, some entrepreneurs told the first financial daily that the Government would promote the need for specific rules, such as the import of relevant advanced equipment tax relief. In addition, the relationship between man and machine also need to running-in.

Manufacturing Intelligence

The background of machine substitution is labor shortage and labor cost rising. Therefore, the traditional manufacturing intensive areas such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, the first attempt to "machine substitution."

At the beginning of the new year in Guangdong, in addition to the Governor report, a number of provincial departments and local governments in different occasions mentioned "machine substitution."

At the end of last month, the Dongguan government issued a text, the "on the implementation of" Dongguan Manufacturing 2025 "Opinion of the strategy" Red proposed 43 strategic initiatives, including the first: accelerate the opening of the "Machine substitution" era. Since 2014, Dongguan Municipal government decided to take out 200 million yuan each year to support enterprises "machine substitution." Shunde, Foshan, has also introduced incentives.

In February 9, Guangdong CPPCC held in the "vigorously develop advanced manufacturing and modern services, promote industrial transformation and upgrading" as the theme of the symposium, the Guangdong Provincial Council, the Department of Finance and other departments in charge of the government to promote the "machine substitution" specific measures.

Wang Yuechen, director of technical Innovation and quality Department of Guangdong Provincial Commission, said that the beginning of this year, Guangdong will be three consecutive years through the award of compensation measures to promote the Pearl River Delta region Enterprises "machine substitution", this year's target is 600 enterprises. The specific measure is, according to the Enterprise buys the robot the contract amount, will 10%~20% the money to complement the enterprise. There are also some bonus measures for updating the equipment.

"The intelligent manufacturing industry is the next major direction for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry." Wang Yuechen revealed that the State Council is preparing to release the "China Manufacturing 2025 Planning Framework", corresponding, Guangdong province is also brewing "Guangdong Intelligent Manufacturing 10-year plan."

Financial department officials also said that the Government will increase its efforts to support the new round of technological transformation, through equity investment, fund investment, discount and other ways to promote the intelligent transformation.

Local robotics manufacturers in Guangdong will benefit from these policies. Huang Xing, chairman of Guangzhou Machinery Science Research Institute Co., Ltd. said the company expects to sell 4000~5000 this year, compared with 2800 in 2014.

We can get back to Ben in a year or two.

In the interview with this reporter, Huang Xing recite the "machine substitution" benefits: machines can liberate workers, such as "stamping" often out of safety accidents, the use of robots is safe and can improve efficiency. There are also common injection molding robot, such as the car in front of the bumper, note out the temperature is very high, before one or two workers wearing gloves out, now the robot can complete this process, the price from a hundred thousand of to more than 200,000 of the.

Everyone knows the benefits of "machine substitution". But for businesses, the biggest concern is: When is a costly machine going back to its own, relative to the artificial?

Huang Xing told "the first financial daily" reporter, back to the length of time depending on the industry and production scale and different. In common manufacturing processes, such as stamping, plastic injection pickup, in general can be back in two years. Some of the simplest machines, such as the company's cheapest stamping machine, sell for 50,000 yuan, which can be returned in a year.

It is not easy for companies to make a "machine substitution" decision. To Guangdong Aesthetic Ceramics Group, for example, 2007 the group intends to spend more than 4 million yuan to introduce seven or eight automation equipment, has been part of the group of Middle-level opposition, that "a machine is less than a hundred thousand of yuan, more than five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand yuan, to reduce a few people do not come."

Even if the enterprise "willing to" buy advanced machines, machines and people need to running-in. Aesthetic ceramics spent huge sums of money to buy the production line in the beginning of the total problem, when serious had to stop the line overhaul. The production line even from the "fully automatic" back to the "all to move their own" original state. Moreover, the manipulation of the robot's code for workers nearly "heavenly book", Running-in time for six months.

Corporate Hope rules Landing

For "machine substitution", most enterprises take a positive attitude, and look forward to the Government to introduce rules as soon as possible, so as to implement the policy of encouragement.

One of the corporate appeal rules is to reduce the relevant tax. Huang Jianping, chairman of the Aesthetic Ceramics Group, told our correspondent that he had a fancy for Italy's fully intelligent production line, but the tariffs were very high, and such equipment should be included in the customs exemption list. Huang Jianping said the group had imported several 3D printers, each of which had to pay a hundreds of thousands of tax.

Huang Xing also pointed out that many policies are lack of operability and are not clear enough. Guangdong province, for example, has some incentive subsidies when it comes to the introduction of talent, but there are some problems with subsidies falling to the ground. For example, he said, there have been technical personnel to the Human resources department to apply for subsidies, the Human resources department said it belongs to the Science and technology department, the talent to find science and technology department, and was told that the other department tube. "Policy implementation is rather vague and not conducive to retaining talent".

Huang Xing believes that the Government should promote some of the exemplary projects of intelligent transformation in various industries. "Industrial robots, unlike cars, can be bought back to open, but for different industries have different processes and design, so it is difficult to promote." "Might as well do some demonstration lines so that you can intuitively see the machine in the production line of the application."

In addition, for China's manufacturing industry, the realization of machine substitution will also face other problems. Nanjing University of Finance and Economics president Liu has pointed out to the media, the entire robot industry chain includes upstream key components, midstream equipment manufacturers and downstream industry application of these three blocks, domestic enterprises are mainly focused on the implementation of downstream applications, that is, through the procurement of foreign robots, for downstream customers to carry out the corresponding program design, And the upstream of the industrial chain without the core parts manufacturers support, the key components are still far behind the foreign enterprises, so long-term controlled.

Science and Technology Department "Twelve-Five" service robot key project Expert group leader Wang Tianyao revealed that the reliability of domestic robots than foreign brands still have a big gap, its life is only 8,000 hours, and foreign brands can reach 50,000 ~10 million hours.
