Forced reform: local companies compete for China's robot market

Industrial robots are generally engaged in handling, grinding, painting, palletizing and other work, under the policy support, is expected to be widely used.

Robot on the line: forced reform

An industrial robot at a cost of about 100,000 yuan can start a 24-hour operation and can offset the cost of hiring workers in as little as two years. More importantly, workers are protected from occupational diseases in dusty and noisy environments Bitter.

Qin Lei also remembered his first visit to the Foshan Tile Factory 6 years ago when it was a summer afternoon. A roaring machine sound was heard in the workshop, surrounded by strange smell. At this room temperature exceeding 45 degrees Celsius In the workshop, everyone was sweaty and reluctant to speak, and the dust floating in the sunlight brought great harm to the workers' bodies.

The traditional industry production automation so low, which makes Qin Lei, Guangdong University of Technology postdoctoral researcher quite shocked, reading Bo, he visited electronics , chips and other manufacturing enterprises manufacturing site, these companies clean, advanced production lines Impressed him.

"Why the traditional industry production automation so low? Why not introduce mature foreign production equipment or develop their own advanced production equipment?" Qin Lei and a boss of private enterprises to chat and found that due to the company's order pressure, the cycle is also short Workers often have to work overtime. They also had the idea of ​​introducing automation equipment and robotics to OEM. However, these overseas equipment were expensive and follow-up maintenance was extremely tedious. They would rather pay extra overtime to raise wages instead Willing to transform.

Qinlei where the Foshan, ceramics, sanitary ware, sanitary ware, hardware and other industries have developed into its dominant industries, with the labor, raw materials and other costs increase, the profitability of manufacturing enterprises more and more thin, in business considerations, the owners of equipment In addition, the production process of ceramics and sanitary wares is not simple. Spraying, polishing, grinding and testing a series of actions on the industrial robot have the visual and force Feel the requirements.

However, once developed supporting industrial robots, the cost advantages and production advantages it brings irrefutable, Qin Lei forget an account, if the successful development of a cost of about 100000 yuan in industrial robots, 24 hours to start In almost two years, the cost of hiring workers can be offset. More importantly, workers are protected from occupational diseases in dusty and noisy environments.

It is also understanding the market demand for industrial robots after the status quo, Qin Lei determined to start the formation of product development team, have developed a series of automated packaging palletizing production lines, toys, painting robots, sanitary ware automatic spray glaze production line, faucet automatic polishing production line And other automated equipment.

At that time, the demographic dividend faded away in the domestic manufacturing industry. As labor costs continue to rise, many enterprises in the PRD and the Yangtze River Delta are forced to relocate. In order to maintain their profits, they have to relocate their manufacturing processes to lower-cost workers in central and western China and Southeast Asian countries, and even at low labor costs Lower African countries.

Around the world, there is also a revolution in manufacturing. Ford Motor Company announced the relocation of 12,000 jobs from Mexico and China back to the United States, on the back of the manufacturing industry caused a heated debate, cheap industrial robot technology is undoubtedly an important support for the recovery of the U.S. manufacturing industry. In Japan, the government drafted plans back in 2007, Japan's industrial robotics industry will reach 1.4 trillion yen in 2050, with a million industrial robots. According to an industrial robot equivalent to 10 labor standards, millions of industrial robots equivalent to tens of millions of labor force, which is currently 15% of the total workforce in Japan, the United States and Japan in the global leader in robotics are rapidly developing industrial robots industry.

The core of the manufacturing transformation that quietly occurs around the world is machine substitution. In China, entrepreneurs like Qin Lei are beginning to take their firm steps on the road to industrial robots. The CNC's veteran Guangzhou CNC Then began to set up "CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. Guangzhou - Guangdong University of Technology NC R & D Center," to increase their research and development efforts, a year later Shenyang Sinsong became the first batch of GEM-listed companies, began to seek capital markets The greater support of the latecomers of the industrial robot community, such as Lee Schindler and others are emerging.

Guangzhou City, increase subsidies to the robot industry

The industry hopes to also clear the financing channels for SMEs

Projects listed in Guangzhou City, industrial robots and intelligent equipment integration demonstration projects, not higher than the purchase of intelligent manufacturing equipment in the city of 10% of the project to give a one-time subsidies to enterprises, the maximum subsidy of not more than 500,000 yuan / set.

Faced with the vast market prospects of the robot industry and the weak foundation of the initial stage of the industry, the government has also introduced policies to support the industrial robot industry. In fact, the policy direction of the government plays an extremely important role in the robot industry. Japan in the late 1960s adopted an active policy of supporting the robot industry and encouraged and promoted the development and popularization of robotics. Only today the robot kingdom exists.

September 25, 2013, Guangdong Province Industrial Robot Promotion and Application Industry Alliance was formally established. Liu Ciying, secretary-general of the Industrial Robot Industry Alliance of Guangdong Province, said that he conducted a survey on the application of industrial robots in machinery and equipment, automobiles, electronic information, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, light industry and textile industries in the province and found that the current application base is relatively low. Strong demand for robots, these market demand will be to promote the development of robot industry in Guangdong Province, the largest impetus.

On April 15 this year, the Guangzhou Municipal Government General Office released the Opinions on Promoting the Development of Industrial Robots and Intelligent Equipment Industry ("Opinions"). It is proposed that for three consecutive years from 2014, related subsidies will be granted to manufacturing enterprises for industrial robots and intelligent equipment. In line with the relevant conditions under the premise of purchasing or leasing the city manufacturing industrial robots or complete sets of equipment, there are related grants.

In terms of funding, in accordance with the provisions of Guangzhou Municipality, projects to tackle the problems related to the manufacture, application and integration of industrial robots funded by the state and the provincial governments are, in principle, provided with a 1: 0.5 ratio not higher than the national, provincial and municipal levels.
