The hottest industrial robots in China usher in a

China's industrial robots usher in a big explosion, but the pain points of the industry still exist

Abstract: the high-end market of robots has become an oligopoly. The top four enterprises are abb, KUKA, FANUC and Yaskawa, accounting for 60% of the high-end market share in China. China's industrial robots belong to the low-end field in the midstream, and their main business is processing. The barriers to entry are low and the concentration of the high-end market is low, and the scale effect has not yet formed

with the wave of "artificial intelligence", the "machine OEM" has gradually penetrated into all fields of society, including industry and commerce, medical treatment, education, finance, public security inspection and law, etc., especially the gap for robots in the industrial field is wide, but can many enterprises blindly follow the trend to capture the real point of economic growth? It is true to welcome the wind, but the pain points of the industry still exist

according to the 2017 world robot report released by IFR, China's robot industry is developing at an unprecedented speed and is becoming the leader of the global robot industry. According to the data, in 2016, the sales of industrial robots in China increased by 27%, reaching 87000 units, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the world. At the same time, Chinese robot manufacturers are expanding their share of the domestic market. From 2018 to 2020, the annual sales volume of robots in China is expected to increase by an average of 15% - 20% per year

it is understood that industrial robots are mainly used in the production of finished vehicles, auto parts, electronics, electrical and chemical industry, rubber and plastics, accounting for about 60%

behind a series of data reflects the pace of China's transformation from a "manufacturing power" to a "smart manufacturing power". The transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry is imperative. First, the gradual loss of demographic dividends requires "machine OEM" to improve the current situation of labor shortage, so there is an urgent need for industrial robot people; Second, the automatic and intelligent equipment configuration can not only improve the operation efficiency, but also better integrate with the development of the digital age

pain points still exist in the robot industry

from the perspective of data, the overall development of robots in China is on the rise, but the reality is not optimistic. Gu Chunyuan, chairman and President of ABB China, said that the application climax of industrial robots in China has not really entered the era of full outbreak. The key lies in how to integrate relevant technologies from the fragmented state to the specific industries or processes made in China based on the realistic and localized needs

especially in recent years, the "labor shortage" has forced the transformation and upgrading of labor-intensive industries. The previous low-cost growth model based on low wages, overloaded labor intensity and poor employment environment obviously cannot adapt to the current environment. Nowadays, with the sharp rise in human costs, industrial robots stepping on the turning point of the transformation of traditional intensive enterprises can be said to solve the urgent needs of many enterprises

on August 23, 2017, the China Electronics Association released a report that it is expected that China will sell more than 110000 industrial robots this year, and the market size of China's industrial robots will reach US $4.22 billion in 2017

however, some professionals believe that vigorously developing and applying industrial robots is the key to the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, but the interactive development of China's industrial robots and manufacturing industry still faces many difficulties, which need to be solved by taking a number of measures

at present, industrial robots in the domestic market are more suitable for completing simple processes. Once they engage in more complex processes, there will be a series of problems such as poor matching and inadequate application

in addition, China's traditional robots are expensive, flexible 8. Large deformation measurement resolution: 0.008mm is also low, which is not widely used in labor-intensive low-end manufacturing. Domestic robots accounted for only 1/3 of the domestic market in 2016, and China is mainly concentrated in middle and high-end manufacturing industries such as automobiles, machine tools and electronics

but the problem is that high-end products still rely on imports; Independent innovation ability is weak as a whole; Repeated construction of local industries; The system of standard testing and certification still needs to be improved. These hidden worries have become shackles that restrict domestic robot enterprises from sharing the cake of China's huge robot market

in addition, Japan, known as the "Kingdom of robots", has set its sights on the Chinese market. It is difficult to hide its ambition to share a share with local enterprises, whether it is investing in factory construction or enhancing production capacity

the high-end market of robots has become an oligopoly. The top four enterprises are abb, KUKA, FANUC and Yaskawa, accounting for 60% of the high-end market share in China. China's industrial robots belong to the low-end field in the midstream, and their main business is processing. The barriers to entry are low and the concentration of the high-end market is low, and the scale effect has not yet formed

in this way, the potential consumer market of China's industrial robots "we must improve performance. Even if it is a blue ocean, it is not easy for local enterprises to embrace a large number of opportunities.

in a word, if Chinese local enterprises want to gain in the field of industrial robots, they must first reduce procurement costs, secondly gradually fade the role of" processing "and gradually dig deeper into the core technology field, So as to cultivate competitive technological advantages. However, this bottom-up advanced road is full of thorns, which requires efficient collaboration between the government and enterprises, as well as the determination and pioneering and innovative spirit of enterprises to take root in the technical field, so as to better tap the blue ocean market
