Guangzhou made 2025 strategic planning: strive to 2020, smart equipment and robotics industry output value of 130 billion, in 2025 exceeded 400 billion.

 

 

Machines really can replace people in the factory? Home, opportunities and barriers of the robotics industry in Guangzhou is what? On December 19, 2015 China (Guangzhou) robot industry conference, with industry experts feel the pulse of the Guangzhou and the domestic robot industry.

 

 

Striving to 2020 output value reached 130 billion

 

On Saturday, Baiyun International Conference Center of the hall, one red and one yellow two lion dance acts as a congress "," welcome ", one day, they are in neat, twist the fixed action, different is, below the props not lion people, but two mechanical arms. They a will say words of a humanoid robot, a number of manufacturers of industrial robots exhibits together become the conference" appearance ", attracting a lot of people stop.

 

 

At the meeting, vice mayor of Guangzhou Zhou Yawei, Guangzhou industrial robot manufacturing and application of industry alliance executive vice president Huang Xing brought the latest data and industry in Guangzhou, the basic situation in.2014, Guangzhou City, robotics and intelligent equipment output value of nearly 20 billion yuan, an increase of 50% over 2013 in, this figure is expected to reach nearly 40 billion.

 

 

Among them, the number of industrial robots sales in 2014 for 7131 units, an increase of 1 times in 2013, 12.7% of the national industrial robot sales in 2014, accounting for 40%. of domestic independent brand sales in accordance with the current situation, in 2015 this data also increased.

 

 

Guangzhou has accumulated more than 40 robot and intelligent equipment companies, which Guangzhou, NC, Guangzhou Qifan, well source Electromechanical, Guangzhou dayilong, Guangzhou Ming Luo, Guangzhou Ruisong, Guangzhou Bo creative a group of leading enterprises in the national robotics and intelligent manufacturing industry occupies an important position.

 

 

Zhou Yawei introduction, Guangzhou City, the recent introduction of the 2025 strategic planning, the implementation of the robot industry development special action, and strive to 2020, smart equipment and robotics industry output value of 130 billion, this year is expected to more than three times the output value in 2025 to break through 400 billion, and to build the country's major high-end equipment manufacturing innovation base, the National Smart manufacturing and intelligent services combined demonstration leading area.

 

 

3 billion support of finance transformation

 

In 2014, Guangzhou has issued relevant documents to foster industrial robotics market, in the mechanical equipment, automotive, food, medicine, electronics, dangerous goods manufacturing, such as repeated labor characteristics, labor intensity, there is a certain risk of industry fields, and guide enterprises to industrial robots and intelligent equipment, the traditional production line or production system technology transformation.

 

 

This year the introduction of the industrial transformation and upgrading of three year action plan to implement the program, proposed from 2015 to 2017, three years of fiscal funds to support industrial restructuring and upgrading, including 800 million yuan to support industrial technology transformation, 700 million yuan investment to support robotics and intelligent equipment industry big development, that is, direct support to the robot's body corporate, as well as 1 billion 500 million as the guidance of funds.

 

 

In addition to government investment money pulling, Guangzhou is also planning to build China (Guangzhou) intelligent equipment research institute, the National Center for robot testing and assessment (Guangzhou), and so on.

 

 

Deputy Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Commission by letter, inspector Zou Sheng introduced Guangdong province for the advanced manufacturing areas of support policy, you buy a robot, if it is 1 million to buy, the province's highest financial subsidies can be 300 thousand to you, especially the use of our local robot.

 

 

He said that Guangdong will strive through three years of efforts to focus on key breakthroughs in robotics and intellectual property rights, foster a number of robots independent brands and intelligent systems integrators, built 3-5 distinctive robot industry base, to promote more than two thousand manufacturing enterprises to carry out robotic applications.

 

 

Word of advice

 

Target traditional industries

 

For robot related enterprises, how to find opportunity in the market? Huang Xing is proposed, the Pearl River Delta have many traditional industries, such as, a large number of factories, machinery processing factory, some process is here occupies the absolute advantage, "if we do not develop automation and intelligent production line, other countries impossible to do". In addition, logistics, intelligence is the Chinese market in a large block, "I met the owner of many large factories, the first thing asks me, said to make a intelligent warehouse, how to do?"

 

 

Huang Xing said that the robot industry is the first to learn the machinery of people doing, and now is to learn the automation of people doing, I think the next generation must be done on the Internet, do financial to do, cross-border development is positive.

 

 

Hong Kong University of science and technology is Xinjiang without man-machine founder Wang Tao's alma mater, the school recently set up a new Institute of robotics. Dean Wangyu, known as the "unmanned automation technology of robot, is one of the school the next five strategic development direction, and the newly established Hong Kong Science and Technology Bureau proposed a target called" re industrialization ".

 

 

For the robotics industry, Wang Yu believes that the industrial robot is no longer concentrated in the automotive industry, a number of fragmented electronics manufacturing will be the future of the market.

 

 

Bottleneck

 

No breakthroughs in key technologies are still dominated by low-end

 

Guangzhou robotics industry faces what problem Huang Xing made a form, the industry related segments listed in the discovery, at present, Guangzhou robot products are still in the low-end, the core component is not complete, which has become an important bottleneck in the development of Guangzhou robotics and intelligent equipment industry, Guangzhou in the sensing technology, navigation and positioning technology and other key technologies have not yet achieved a breakthrough to restrict the competitiveness of industry upgrading.

 

 

Lack of more obvious system software, application software, including the corresponding demonstration of the system is not enough, a lot of the Pearl River Delta boss, slowly and pragmatic development, he was on this large, to invest so much money, did not see how the benefits come out, there is no so much confidence.

 

 

Guangzhou robotics and intelligent equipment development and big data, the Internet and other technology integration is not high, remote communication, remote monitoring, remote diagnosis, process monitoring and other intelligent plant construction is not yet universal, industry development is still self accumulation scroll, new technology, the new format of the driving effect is not fully apparent.

 

 

No proprietary local parts to keep up

 

Chinese Academy of Engineering Lin Shangyang is a welding expert, while the industrial robot welding robot accounted for four, he talked from the perspective of robot users, China's robot industry is currently the defect is that there is no establishment of independent intellectual property rights of the robot industry.

 

 

"In the early 80s of last century, I am writing to foreign robot manufacturers, to buy a welding robot, people will ignore you. Don't sell you that foreign market of China is not optimistic, but by the mid-1990s, the situation is not the same, into a large number of foreign robot in China. The peak robot in our country have 95% are foreign, may now be is 85%", Lin Shangyang mentioned. It is, therefore, the China to the development of independent intellectual property rights of the robotics industry, the degree of difficulty than the 1980s.

 

 

Why the formation of such a situation too much attention to scientific research, do not attach importance to industrialization, is a reason, Lin Shangyang said, he learned that China has chosen some enterprises as the unit to undertake research results, but the object is not necessarily suitable for development of the robot, and finally did not succeed, this experience, lessons should be analyzed.

 

 

In addition, the parts industry can not meet the development needs of the robot industry, but also a part of the objective reasons. Lin Shangyang in the welding exhibition to manufacturers to understand the accuracy of domestic parts, reliability and foreign differences, some of the special features of domestic manufacturers are not, even if there is, "the foreign module card in our machine".

 

 

And at present, many of the host plant imported foreign parts to solve the problem, however, will form a barrier to long-term development, many industries have such an experience, when you feel a barrier, the problem has been difficult to overcome.

 

 

Forward looking

 

Ministry will release industrial development planning

 

Robot industry conference in 19, the Ministry of industry, the Ministry of equipment industry secretary Zhang Xiangmu introduction, the Ministry of industry and the organization of the preparation of the robot industry development plan 2016-2025, is about to be officially released.

 

 

To prevent the "high-end of low-end"

 

Zhang Xiang Mu said that during the 45 to efforts to achieve major breakthroughs in robot key spare parts, and high-end products, robot quality reliability, market share rate and pacesetting enterprises increased substantially.

 

 

He also warned that governments at all levels should according to its own conditions and advantages, to determine the need for the development of the robot industry, to prevent the "rushing headlong into mass action, low level repetition, not heavy investment, expand the scale, light innovation and personnel training, to prevent the situation of" high-end low-end industries ".

 

 

The next generation of robots to "working with others"

 

Robot spring, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang Institute of automation researcher He Yuqing introduction, the current robot market mainly industrial robots, professional service robots, domestic service robots, these are traditional robots, is isolated, with almost no human intelligence capabilities of the automated machine.

 

 

And the next generation of robot, will be able to work closely with the human operator, the challenge is, operation flexibility can not to cooperate with others, and workers sharing tools, no way with the workers, interaction, there is no way to receive orders from the abstract, perception, cognitive far below, and the lack of security.
