With the signing of the German Industry 4.0 and the China Manufacturing 2025 docking framework, “Made in China 2025†began to move from concept to reality. According to the description of German Industry 4.0, one of the key elements in the future smart factory is indispensable, that is, "robot". With China's economic transformation, population aging and rising labor costs, the role of robots in Chinese manufacturing is becoming more and more obvious.
“Working in a dangerous, polluted environment, letting robots replace some workers, and using robots to increase efficiency and reduce costs, is the key to helping China's manufacturing industry transform itself from big to strong.â€
As one of the drafters of "Made in China 2025", Zhu Sendi believes that intelligent robots are the breakthrough point of industrial development in order to make China's manufacturing industry bigger and stronger and complete intelligent manufacturing upgrades.
The boost of robots for Chinese manufacturing is also reflected in this year's Shanghai Industrial Fair. Overseas robot manufacturers such as KUKA, ABB, Comau and FANUC have launched their own new robots. At the same time, domestic robot manufacturers are not far behind, and the leading company, Zhongke Xinsong, has also introduced wall-climbing robots in addition to multi-joint flexible robots. In addition, domestic robots such as Nanjing Eston have made great progress.
Robot advances into 3C manufacturing field
The use of robots for handling, sorting, etc., frees people from repetitive and cumbersome labor, which is consistent with the goal of improving factory efficiency and reducing production costs in smart manufacturing.
At present, robots have been used in traditional industries such as semiconductors and automobiles. Pekka TIiTInen, president of ABB Group's process automation business unit, said that ABB robots have been used in the spraying and gluing production lines of the Audi Changchun plant. After using the robots, the overall spraying efficiency has increased by 20%, which can meet the annual output. High-strength production demand for 200,000 new cars.
In addition to the traditional automotive assembly field, robots have gradually entered the 3C, pharmaceutical and food sectors.澎湃News learned from this industry fair that Foxconn, Huawei and other companies have already appeared in the "black light" factory, that is, the robot is completely replaced by robots.
Yang Song, vice president of Xinsong Company (300024), told Yu News: "In the 3C industry, China has a large amount of labor, and employment has always been one of the difficulties. Robots can improve the employment situation." According to Yang Lan, Xinsong Company It has brought flexible cooperative robots in the industry fair, and has functions such as rapid configuration, traction teaching, visual guidance, collision detection, etc., and will be applied to the 3C assembly industry in the future.
According to the International Robot Association (IFR), global industrial robot sales increased by 27% in 2014, with sales of around 225,000 units, driven by demand from the automotive and electronics industries, particularly China and South Korea.
According to the association, as China is catching up with competitors in industrialized countries, sales of industrial robots in the Chinese market have increased by 54% to around 56,000 units. China has previously become the largest market for all-industrial robots. At present, the annual sales of industrial robots worldwide is about 9.5 billion US dollars.
Human-computer collaboration is the trend, and cloud technology makes robots more intelligent
According to the concept of Industry 4.0, in the future factory, the machine will become intelligent and can be interconnected with humans. In the industrial manufacturing of the past few decades, the scope of work between robots and humans is relatively independent. But such a situation will change in the future factory.
From the first human-machine collaboration robot YuMi launched by ABB last year to this year, Coma Robot launched the arms mimic robot AMICO, and the human-machine collaboration robot became the trend of the future factory.
Mathias Wiklund, Chief Operating Officer of Comma Global Robotics Division, said that the AMICO robotic arm has two SCHUNK SDH2 multi-joint three-finger fixture systems for flexible capture of different objects. Two of the finger devices can be adapted to different robotic industrial applications by changing direction. The sensor on the surface of the fixture helps AMICO identify the surface of different objects and automatically adjust the optimal grip.
After man-machine collaboration, how to interconnect robots and master industrial data and processing in real time is the ultimate goal of Industry 4.0. Such requirements have also allowed many robot companies to see the potential of the Chinese market.
“Since the introduction of Industry 4.0 and China Manufacturing 2025, we have indeed seen many changes. After the communication between customers and partners, we found that robots will be an important part of the future smart factory. Now we will have more cloud computing. Incorporating into the robot's control system, making future robots more intelligent, better control of the robot through more accurate calculations, and finding more applications in the factory.†KUKA Robot Chief Sales Officer, Executive Vice President MarTIn Kuhnhen said
However, as in the process of industrial 4.0 China manufacturing 2025 docking, the development of automation standards is a long-term process, and the application of cloud technology in robots has a long way to go. "In addition to the different standards adopted by various cloud technologies, the data sharing platforms of various manufacturing companies have not yet been established. We can only say that we are working hard in this direction, but the process is far from simple." Matthias Vikran De said.
