In recent years, China's industrial robot industry has entered a period of rapid growth has become the world's largest market for six consecutive years. Industrial robots are being used more more in many fields of manufacturing. While industrial robots are developing rapidly, irrational phenomena such as concept speculation, rushing into the market, low-end competition have also attracted attention all walks of life. Experts pointed out that the robot industry, as the "crown jewel of the manufacturing industry", should actively take the path of independent innovation development of core technologies, promote intelligent manufacturing improve the level of manufacturing through high-quality products services, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of low-price competition low-level competition.
In addition, for the application promotion of domestic industrial robots, some people advocate that innovative design should be prioritized. Innovative design is an important condition for promoting robots. It is necessary to combine innovative design with the original process of the enterprise, to use automation, digitalization, intelligent means to improve reorganize the original process. The application of industrial robots should also be combined with big data, pattern recognition, virtual reality, lean production, etc. Only through the combination of these aspects can industrial robots be used better.
Industrial robots are in high demand
The era of industrial robots is approaching, more more manufacturing companies are beginning to purchase use robots to improve their competitiveness. International Data Corporation (IDC) previously released a report showing that my country is the world's largest robot market. In all major markets surveyed by IDC in 2018, including my country, robots are the top priority for technology investment by manufacturing companies. In 2019, nearly half of my country's robot system spending will appear in discrete manufacturing (including automobiles, electronics, metal processing, etc.), with a market size of more than US$16.7 billion.
In the domestic manufacturing industry, industrial robots are increasingly appearing. For example, in glass manufacturing, hundreds of millions of pieces of glass are produced sold every year, which requires many people to inspect with the naked eye. With the detection robot, the mobile phone cover is automatically inspected visually. One device is equivalent to the workload of 24 production line workers for a whole day, which is dozens of times more efficient than traditional detection reduces the economic losses caused by manual misdetection.
Glass inspection is just one of the general application scenarios of industrial robots. According to industry experts, with the advancement of technology the continuous optimization of product structure, the breadth depth of application of domestic industrial robots have been continuously expanded in recent years. In particular, the promotion implementation of a number of industrial robot demonstration application projects will directly drive the application of domestic industrial robots in home appliances, power electronics, automobile parts, metal processing other industries.
The prospects of domestic industrial robots are good, the market competitiveness is constantly improving. However, at the same time, the structural problems in the development of my country's robot industry are also prominent. While high-end capabilities are insufficient, there are concerns about low-level duplication of construction blind development in the low-end field.
