More than 90% of the core components of the "robot" strategy need to be imported
A "robot battle" sweeping across the country is being staged everywhere. "Daily Economic News" reporters incomplete statistics found that currently including Shanghai, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Guangdong, Liaoning and other provinces and cities have taken the robot industry as a key local development project, in addition, including the giant round of shares, Yawei shares Listed companies, including others, have recently launched robotics projects. It is understood that these projects are mostly industrial robot projects.

At the beginning of December, Chongqing’s investment of 10 billion yuan to build the world’s first robotic version of “Disneyland†has occupied a lot of media coverage. It is understood that for the robot industry, the Chongqing government proposed in 2011 to build a "robot capital" to highlight the plan behind it.
He Guotian, director of the Chongqing Institute of Green Intelligent Technology Research Institute and the chief expert of Chongqing Robotics, said that robots are mainly divided into industrial robots, service robots and special robots. In the field of industrial robots, the annual output value of the Chinese market is 20 billion. about. According to the research report released by Shenyin Investment, the total demand of China in the field of industrial robots will reach 1.67 million to 3 million units in the future, with a market scale of several hundred billion yuan.
In this regard, Zheng Bin, deputy director of the Robotics Technology Research Center of the Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the current manufacturing industry in China has experienced a significant increase in labor costs. The development of "robots" has become an important way for the transformation and upgrading of the domestic manufacturing industry.
However, it is worth noting that at present, China's "robot" market is still dominated by foreign brands, and 80% to 90% of core components need to be imported.
Multi-local layout "robot" industry "Daily Economic News" reporter learned that the "Guidelines for the Promotion of the Development of the Robot Industry by the Chongqing Municipal People's Government" issued at the end of October this year put forward a series of goals, including by 2015, its robots The industrial sales revenue will reach 30 billion yuan; by 2020, the sales revenue of the robot industry will reach 100 billion yuan, forming a new pillar industry.
According to statistics from the reporters, it is not just Chongqing that plans to plan the “robotâ€. This year, nearly 10 provinces and cities including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liaoning, and Guangdong have taken the robot industry as a key development target.
According to public information, Shanghai has listed industrial robots as the focus of strategic emerging industry development, and established the Shanghai Robot Industry Alliance and the Shanghai Robot Industry Association. It proposes that the industrial scale will reach 20 billion yuan in 2015 and 60 billion to 800 in 2020. The goal of 100 million yuan.
In addition, Tianjin Binhai New Area has also established a strategic alliance for intelligent manufacturing industry technology innovation, and plans to build a smart manufacturing equipment industrial park in Binhai New Area. Zhejiang has introduced 5,000 machine substitution projects every year for the next five years, achieving a replacement of 500 billion yuan. Investment to promote the transformation of industrial production methods from “manufacturing†to “intellectual creationâ€; Jiangsu also regards the industrial robot industry as the key research area in 2014; Anhui's robotic industry regional cluster development has been piloted by the state.
At the same time, Shandong Qingdao High-tech Zone, Heilongjiang Harbin, Hubei Wuhan Optics Valley also planned the corresponding robot industry park as the core area of ​​its industrial development.
Nearly 40 listed companies have been involved in many market analysts. The reason why local governments have successively launched the robot industry support plan is to see the huge business opportunities in this field.
According to a report issued by the International Federation of Robotics, from 2005 to 2012, the sales volume of robots in China increased by an average of 25% per year, and reached 27,000 in 2012. The federation predicts that China will become the largest market for robots in 2016.
"China's robot industry has a high annual growth rate, but from the perspective of per capita robot ownership, the current world level is about 55 robots per 10,000 workers, and 250 countries with more popular robots such as Korea, Japan, and Germany. ~350 units, the United States, Italy and other figures are about 150, and China has only 21 robots per 10,000 workers, a big gap." Northeast Securities analyst Wu Jiangtao said that in the next few years, the Chinese robot industry will welcome Come to the outbreak.
The "Daily Economic News" reporter noted that the enthusiasm for robots is not only local governments, but also the enterprises that are active in the forefront of the market.
In November this year, Yawei shares announced that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Robot Cooperation Project with the German Muse Company, and planned to purchase part of the robot technology of Muse and establish a joint venture to produce robots. Industrial robot industry; sunflowers that produce and sell large-scale high-efficiency crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and components have also announced that they will cooperate with a technology company in Ningbo, Zhejiang, to participate in the robot industry.
The reporter's rough statistics found that there are nearly 40 A-share listed companies involved in the robot industry.
Robot's "cost advantage"
The "Daily Economic News" reporter found that most of the regions that focus on the development of the robot industry are manufacturing provinces. This has a certain relationship with the rising labor costs and recruitment difficulties encountered by China's manufacturing industry in recent years.
"At present, the wage level of China's manufacturing industry is growing at a rate of 10% to 20% per year. Correspondingly, the price of robots is falling at a rate of 4% per year. Compared with the rising cost of labor, the large-scale industrialization of robots. The opportunity has arrived." An expert from Zhaoyuan, Hongyuan Securities said.
In the opinion of many analysts, under the above-mentioned factors, China's development of the labor-intensive transition to modern manufacturing and industrial production to automated production, the development of the robot industry has become indispensable.
"This statement is scientific to a certain extent. A robot can replace 3~5 workers. The cost of industrial robots is about 50,000 yuan per year according to the 10-year service life depreciation, and the cost of 3 technicians is 150,000 yuan per year. Above, as long as China can form a full industrial chain of robots, the status of China's manufacturing will also be difficult to shake," said Luo Guojun, a forward-looking network analyst.
Core parts need to be imported However, the reporter of "Daily Economic News" learned that 80% of the robot body and core parts produced in China are imported.
"Industrial robots are mainly composed of five main components: mechanical body, precision reducer, controller, servo drive and motor. Now key components such as electric motors, servo motors and reducers are basically purchased from companies such as Yaskawa and Sanyo in Japan." He Guotian said .
In addition to the production of core components, there are also technical barriers to robot assembly integration. According to industry insiders, high-tech robots such as welding lines, auto parts, and body welding have high precision requirements. More than 1,000 robot integrators in China have few orders.
According to a technical person engaged in intelligent equipment, there are a large number of domestic robots on the market in China, including Chongqing, which is committed to the “robot capitalâ€, successfully developed arc welding robots in early December, due to motors, reducers, controllers, The technical defects in sensors and other aspects have a large gap compared with foreign brands.
In He Guotian's view, there is no shortcut to the development of the robot industry. "Only by taking advantage of their respective advantages and taking the misplaced development as a guide, we will develop robots that have not yet formed an advantage in foreign companies to occupy the market."
"Objectively speaking, compared with foreign countries, we do have shortcomings." He Guotian admitted to the reporter that the Chongqing Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has taken the lead in setting up a robotic direction in Chongqing universities, and introducing domestic enterprises to overcome technical problems and research and development close to Chongqing industry.
