Robot future demand

  World Federation of robotics released 2014 World robot statistics report shows that 2017 China production using total robot will by 16.2 million existing increased to 42.8 million, and North America is expected to using the total amount of 29.2 million, Europe's largest five economic tizong meter to 34.3 million, China will become the world industrial robot for the first use of power.

  

  Prospective industry Research Institute released the 2015-2020, China industrial robot industry production and marketing demand forecast and the transformation and upgrading of analysis report "shows that in 2013 and I between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China sales 3.7 million units of industrial robots, accounted for global sales of 20.67%, has surpassed Japan to become the world's largest industrial machine market. In 2014, the industrial robot industry sales revenue accounted for GDP increased from 0.019% in the previous year to 0.020%, the industry in the national economy increasingly important position.

  

  And the global industrial robot market is similar to China's industrial robots, the three major types of welding, handling, spraying. At this stage, China's industrial robot generally used in the manufacture, installation, testing, logistics and other production processes, application in automobile and auto parts, engineering machinery, rail transportation, low-voltage electrical appliances, electric power, IC equipment, military, tobacco, finance, medicine, metallurgy and printing and publishing industries. In recent years, in addition to the automotive industry, electronics, logistics and other industries, the number of robots installed growth is also very fast.

  

  Industrial robots use cost is only 23% of the artificial. Industrial robot products in ten years of service life depreciation (including maintenance costs) costs about 50 thousand yuan per year, while the cost of three mature welding technicians to reach $10 million a year *3=21.6 million. From this comparison can be seen intuitively, an industrial robot in the production of the same benefits, the cost of the input is the use of labor costs 23%. This ratio will greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing enterprises, to provide a broad space for enterprise profit, but also improve the price competitive advantage of enterprises. Or from another point of view, it means that the enterprise investment industrial robot 2-3 years to recover the cost.

  

  Review of China's economic development in the past twenty years, the transfer of rural labor force and demographic dividend into the manufacturing industry provides a large number of cheap labor. Today, Lewis turning point looming and demographic dividend gradually weakened, lead to traditional reliance on cheap labor cost of development model is being challenged, so as to promote the manufacturing industry in transition period on the robot's demand: on the one hand, the rising labor costs to the enterprise bring direct cost pressure, urges the enterprise to use machines to replace manual; on the other hand, the price of labor is expected to rise to promote the business push the machine the popularization and promotion to avoid the risk of future labor prices continue to rise. The application of industrial robots and complete sets of equipment can liberate workers from the heavy or harmful physical labor, solve the current shortage of labor, improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition, the industrial robot has high accuracy and controllable production capacity, can improve the stability of products, realize the production of many varieties and small batches, and speed up the product update cycle.

  

  China Version of the industry 4 in the background, in the face of the manufacturing industry to upgrade the pressure and the demographic dividend disappeared, China's industrialization and information technology integration into the fast lane. Decline in the cost of the robot, coupled with rising labor costs, making "price scissors", more and more industry will accelerate the process of "robot to replace human, industrial automation will be important industrial development direction. As an important equipment and means in the advanced manufacturing industry, the application and popularization of industrial robots have become the ideal choice for enterprises. According to IFR statistics show that during the period 2005-2014, China's industrial robot sales with an average annual rate of about 25%. With the demand for industrial transformation and upgrading, rising labor costs, as well as national policy support, China's industrial robots in the future growth rate of up to more than 30%.
