The growth rate of Chinese robot market in recent years have been the first in the world, China has become the largest country in the robot sales last year, is expected in 2015 China will become the world's largest robot production and sales, in the next decade will be China's robot industry development and industry application of golden period.
China's manufacturing sector currently present "two low" characteristics, namely, low technology content, low added value and high energy consumption, high pollution. As the "demographic dividend" expires, labor shortages and labor costs rising sharply, the labor intensive and low labor costs of manufacturing mode in China cannot last forever. In this context, choose dominated by robot intelligent manufacturing model is the important path to realize transformation of China's manufacturing industry.
Technological progress has greatly improve the speed and precision of the robot, load and other performance indicators, such as the Internet of things technology application to make it more flexible and intelligent, as a result, the robot in the field of manufacturing to replace artificial from the point of the technology is feasible. At the same time, the robot costs fell by about 50% in recent 10 years. As a substitute for the welding robot of the men's work, for example, currently costs 200000 yuan, the equivalent of three welding workers a year's salary, for a year in the cost of the robot can realize recycling.
Through nearly 10 years of development, China's industrial robot from scratch, since the childhood, has now formed more than one hundred engaged in robot r&d, design, manufacturing, engineering application and form a complete set of spare parts of industrial cluster, in which more than 40 listed companies formed in the stock market has the high technology sector of the concept of the robot. All over the country provinces and regions are industrial park construction and planning of the robot more than more than 30. Its application in automobile manufacturing, engineering machinery, medicine, food and other industries.
