China recently launched the "Made in China 2025" Ten strategic technologies in the field wiring diagram, will grant a lot of money to help Chinese manufacturing accelerated development of industrial automation, detonating huge wisdom Automation (referred Chi automation) and robots build business opportunities; including ABB, Siemens (Siemens), Rockwell (Rockwell) and other international companies, as well as many Taiwanese industrial sector expanded by key sights.
Chinese wisdom automation market is fever. Chinese government put forward this year "Made in China 2025 plan" to attract many international manufacturers have automated through acquisitions / joint Chinese enterprises sights on this opportunity. Taiwanese manufacturers in China, although the scale of investment is relatively small, but the future is still through cooperation with Chinese manufacturers, and by three ways to communicate with the industry, strategic alliances and cross-cutting innovation and grabbed this cornucopia.
Asian manufacturing Champions League General Luo Hui said that China's manufacturing output in 2013 to about 17,570 billion US dollars, accounting for 30% of Chinese output, the manufacturing sector has certain obvious importance. But the country's manufacturing sector still issues to be overcome, such as key technology and high-end equipment and more dependent on imports, low independent innovation capacity, two of the degree of integration of information technology and industrialization low. In view of this, China has elaboration of relevant policies, and in May this year introduced the "Made in China 2025" to accelerate industrial restructuring. Under this policy subsidies, China is stepping up the pace towards the Chilean provinces of automation, such as Kunshan and Dongguan respectively subsidies to encourage the development of the "machine Substitution" or promote integration of the two, to enhance the wisdom manufacturing strength. Since China Zhi automation market with a bright future, international companies expanded distribution through marketing services, acquisitions / joint ventures, etc., in order to successfully block snatch this cake, such as Honeywell, ABB, Rockwell, Siemens and Omron are strengthening sales service . Among some manufacturers enhance combat capability through acquisitions / joint ventures, such as Rockwell and Kyushu Electric, Siemens joint venture Wei Sheng Group, Schneider and Leader Fuk.
In fact, one or two years to accelerate international companies to invest in China, some of the industry even China as Asia's hub. Compared with international companies, the Taiwan plant despite continued investment in China, but the relatively small scale of operation, and therefore Taiwan through automation vendors can work together to strengthen the competitiveness of the Chinese market, in order to facilitate future development. Luo Baihui analysis pointed out that the Taiwan plant if the process control is low and low-chi degree of automation, can increase the chance of advancing Chinese market through the interbank communication; and process control high but Zhidong low degree, should take advantage of strategic alliances way, common layout and other vendors; if both are high degree of industry, could be considered cross-cutting innovation and enhance competitiveness. In addition, the Taiwan plant some industry specialization, such as 3C industry (semiconductor, panel), the traditional industries (home appliances, metal processing) in terms of cross-strait cooperation Chi automation, are more opportunities for development.
China in addition to cooperation with international automation vendors, the local industry is also scrambling to develop robots.
Chinese industrial robots ecosystem Rapid Prototyping
ITRI produced by the Center of Mechanical and Manufacturing Systems Research Fellow Huangzhong Hong believes, AI, robotics systems and human-machine collaboration platform, it will become an important trend in the future development of the robot. He said that in recent years China artificial wage increases, while observing the fixed asset investment statistics and the country's manufacturing PMI index, showing its manufacturing industry is deteriorating, view of this, China intended to use the "Made in China 2025 plan" to boost the manufacturing and economic development, especially focus on key robot.
Chinese President Xi Jinping hailed the robot manufacturing jewel in the crown, and led many mainland companies with foreign manufacturers have been put into development. In Luo Baihui opinion, the strategic development of the robot China, mainly around the automobile, machinery, electronics and other industrial robots, special robots and service robots, and robots to promote standardization, modular development, to expand market applications. Estimated 2015 to 2017, China's industrial robot market will grow more than 25 percent of the speed of steady growth, 2020 is expected to form a complete industrial system of industrial robots, while high-end products in the domestic market share will climb to more than 45%, China CSR, ZTE, with days of manufacturing and other companies related to the robot's performance in the highly anticipated.
However, policy-driven, the Chinese manufacturers competing to compete for the robotics industry also faces the following challenges, such as weak technological base, can not be made the core components, must become a breakthrough technology bottlenecks; plus robot meager profits, only in low-end products to compete on price; the future if the policy does not support, in the absence of aid under the Austrian capital, the robot has invested enterprises are likely to face bankruptcy or merger of the case.
China will focus on the future development of China-made robot key components, such as lightweight miniaturization reducer, force feedback controller, multi-modules, such coordination; and strengthening the human-machine collaboration, vision and manual control type, in order to enhance the production of robots value.
It is worth mentioning that the lack of key components and focus on the man-machine collaboration technology, Taiwan is also a challenge facing the industry in the field of robotics, as well as the positive direction of positive reinforcement. Huangzhong Hong believes that Taiwan can be developed in addition to the above two aspects of the DPRK, the artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics systems platform is also worthy of the attention of Taiwan's industry.
It is understood that artificial intelligence front in the United States, Japan and more rapid development, China is still lagging behind in this area, while Taiwan has considerable academic artificial intelligence research, the future should be a gradual industrialization and commercialization.
In addition, in the wisdom of the factory, there will be a lot of robots and robotic arm, robotic system must also have a platform to provide a common interface, so that the robot can communicate with each other, which will be an opportunity to compete for the robot market in Taiwan.
On the other hand, factory automation wisdom to succeed, in addition to the hardware (robots, equipment) innovation, but also make good use of the hardware required to collect information, thus combining manufacturing execution systems (MES), massive data analysis and networking technology, to achieve wisdom of management, so the robot can play more value.
