TrendForce's topology research institute the latest research shows that due to labor shortage and loss of the demographic dividend, the market demand is still accelerating growth of global industrial robot. Topology and photoelectric technology innovation senior manager Bader Wei said that in recent years China, leading the transformation of economic development, coupled with the loss of the demographic dividend, domestic labor-intensive low-end manufacturing industry is gradually transformed into the technology intensive high-end manufacturing, so highly automated demand soared, driven by industrial robots in Chinese mainland sales growth. In 2016, Chinese robot topology prediction demand is expected to reach to 95 thousand.
Power policy led, to promote industrial and service robot market growth
Big industry robot based on industrial policy, such as Germany, 4 industrial robots in Japan, the new strategy of advanced manufacturing partnership, Chinese, 13th Five-Year "China manufacturing planning and policy 2025" and other countries, are incorporated into the robot industry development is the important connotation, not only will promote the industrial robot market continues to grow, but also promote the rapid growth of professional and personal / family service robot market.
Automotive industry is still the main users of industrial robots
Baird Wei said that at this stage of the automotive industry manufacturers are still the biggest users of industrial robots, in 2014 the automotive industry robot density, Japan, Germany, the United States and South Korea every thousand people in the use of industrial robots to more than one thousand units or more, and China, compared to 305 units. As Japan, Germany and the United States and South Korea are the automotive industry country, industrial robots in the future is still the main demand of automobile industry.
Collaborative robot arms as a new bright spot in industrial robot market
Baird Wei pointed out that with the personnel costs continue to increase, the personnel cost burden including assembly of small and medium-sized enterprises and OEM manufacturers is relatively heavy, with the population aging serious national labor shortage, the collaborative robot has become the arms to reduce personnel costs, improve production efficiency and make up the solution labor gap etc.. Tokyo International Robot Exhibition in 2015, the world will vigorously promote the cooperation of Dachang robot robot.
Service robot market growth momentum is very
Service robots, at this stage to sweep the floor, entertainment robots and medical care machines and other support the overall market. Baird Wei said that artificial intelligence makes the service robot with the progress of human communication and interactive function, make life with service robots will become a new force in the market. In addition, some of the country's agricultural aging is becoming increasingly serious, so it also led to the growth of agricultural robots demand.
In 2016 4 industrial products gradually commercialized, popular collaborative robot
Innovation of information communication of mobile terminal applications driven by explosive growth of the era of things, opened the prelude, also stimulated the production end to industrial 4 concept, launched a comprehensive industrial upgrading movement. TrendForce's topology Research Institute's latest research pointed out that by the end of 2015, Germany, Japan, the United States manufacturers exhibited 4 industrial solutions or products, is still in the laboratory stage show or not, commercial promotion.
Although the recent research results show no obvious, but the manufacturers in order to seize the market opportunities, networking and intelligent manufacturing machine tools and related products such as collaborative robot, and will launch in 2016 the official commercial. The topology Research Institute deputy director Huang Li said, these products in the technology is mature, the degree of cognitive development must rely on customer and actual demand. In addition, the network connection security and standardization development is the biggest key topic, so in addition to the tool machine manufacturers, CiscoSystems and other network companies will play an important role.
Some products in the first commercial, into the future market acceptance index
Huang Li said that national institutions most in the development of 4 industrial technology is not yet mature, the distance can be transferred to manufacturers and a period of time, relatively speaking, robots and machine tool manufacturers in the collaborative robot and machine tool on the rapid development of internet. After the commercialization of the market, the real growth of the market to wait until after 2016-2017 years to achieve.
At present, the first category of formal commercial products is a collaborative robot". Swiss business ABB launched two arms Yu-Mi collaborative robot, Germany KUKA launched the LBRiiwa, Fanuc launched the CR-35iA, YASKAWA launched MOTOMAN-HC10, and so on, most of the 2015 years to launch. The product price from 16 thousand euros to 10 million euros. Collaborative robot appearance and touch less sharp, before will reduce speed or stop, with safety; built in the visual system, can be directly driven robotic arm movement and teaching action, the robot path to memory operations, with intelligent capability with the operator to work together. Guangming photoelectric also launched a small robot in Tokyo International Robot Exhibition cooperation in December 2015. Second products for networked tools, such as DMGMORISEIKI, MAZAK, OKUMA, etc. have been introduced to control the system and machine tools. The main feature is in the distance monitoring of machine tool operation, application software and the third party company provides free operation on the system without limit, so safety standards and network connections will be key to the biggest development.
