Automobile industry VS general industry According to relevant industry insiders, at present, China's industrial robot market presents two major characteristics. On the one hand, the automotive industry will still be the main force of industrial robots. On the other hand, the trend of general industrial application industrial robots is increasing year by year.
Aiwen Boninger, executive vice president of Asia Pacific at KUKA Roboter Co., Ltd., said that the trend of using industrial robots in the automotive industry has not subsided, and it will be the main application industry. From the perspective of the scale and standardization of industrial robot applications, the application of the automotive industry should be mainstream.
According to Qian Hui, general manager of Shanghai FANUC Robotics Co., Ltd., from the current sales situation of FANUC industrial robots in China, the automobile industry is still the main user, and relatively general industrial applications are relatively small. According to Sun Yuanxiang, deputy section chief of the General Industry Sales Department of Fauna, the demand for industrial robots in the domestic auto industry is still rising this year. Some automakers such as FAW-Volkswagen and Shanghai GM have opened new plants across the country, expanding the demand for industrial robots. However, if a car factory invests in a welding production line, it must buy an industrial robot, which is the brand.
At the same time, in the next few years, industrial robots will further grow in the application of general industry, and the industry has reached a consensus. Gu Chunyuan, senior vice president of ABB (China) Co., Ltd., said that from the sales situation of ABB industrial robots in the Chinese market last year, the growth of demand for auto customers is decreasing. The handling and assembly industries have grown, which indicates that there is a demand for industrial robots in general industry. It is expected that a large part of industrial robots will be used in the general industrial industry in the future.
Qu Daokui, president of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd. also said that although the automobile is still the largest application industry, the next step is in the field of clean manufacturing, such as semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals and other industries that require vacuum manufacturing. Clean industrial robots will be able to replace them. Artificial. In addition, labor-intensive industries such as electronics and plastics, plastics and chemicals are also potential applications for future growth.
The growth path diversifies how the future application of industrial robots will grow, and the industry has put forward a lot of insights.
Qu Daokui said that to make the industry of industrial robots bigger, the most urgent task is to cultivate the industrial market. Research institutions, including some enterprise prototypes, have done a lot, but they cannot be commercialized or industrialized. Even for some companies that can produce robots, the annual output is still too small, only a few hundred, a few thousand. It is time to increase the annual production to tens of thousands. Second, we must improve the performance of industrial robots, and prices still need to decline. It is necessary to reduce the price of products through technological advancement and make industrial robots enter thousands of enterprises.
In this regard, Xichuan Qingwu, general manager of the robot business unit of Yaskawa Electric (China) Co., Ltd. fully agrees that he said that the price of the application of industrial robots in Chinese companies is very important. After using the robot, it is possible to increase the output and achieve a positive output ratio, which is the value.
Emphasis on the application development of industrial robots and the cultivation of system integrators are also an important factor in making the industry bigger. Gu Chunyuan said that at present, there is a demand for domestic industrial robots. Why is this industry not yet big? The bottleneck is that application development has not yet been achieved. Qian Hui also said that industrial robots are not a single product, but an integrated application of the system. In order to promote the use of industrial robots in China, it is necessary not only to develop high-reliability products suitable for the Chinese market, but also to have a good after-sales service system. At the same time, we must cultivate system integrators and let more and more people participate. Qu Daokui said that robots are just an intermediate product, not an end product, so system integrators are needed.
He Minjia, chairman and general manager of Guangzhou CNC, attaches great importance to the construction of the robot service system. He said that the foundation of China's industry is relatively weak. From the traditional manufacturing to the smart manufacturing, the after-sales service task is very arduous. Once an industrial robot on the production line fails, it needs to stop operating for maintenance, which has a great impact on production. Therefore, the equipment manufacturer's manufacturing level and product service requirements are particularly high. The construction of the service system is the development of the robot industry that needs to be taken seriously.
In 2012, China has become the second largest country in the world for industrial robot applications. It is predicted that China will become the world's largest manufacturing country by 2020. Imagine, will it become a fact?
