Why is China's industrial robot technology behind 15 years abroad?

The industrial robotics technology that our country has mastered is probably about 15 years behind the leading foreign companies (ABB, fanuc, Koca, Yaskawa), even if compared with foreign second-rate companies, it will be 5-10 years behind. In fact, as a member of the core management team of a domestic robotic company that once had a large scale in China, I compared the products produced by the original company in 2015 with the products of my old owner ABB in 2005, objectively speaking, both. None of them can be said to be comparable, and the technological gap is evident. Then everyone knows why China’s industrial robot technology is 15 years behind the world?

The three core technologies of industrial robots are actually the key technologies of the three core components: controllers (control technology), speed reducers, robot-specific servo motors and their control technologies. In the country, there are almost no companies that have drawn a hand. Key components, key core technologies, and common technologies are all at the starting stage. We hope that talented and talented friends will join the industry and work together to overcome difficulties.

Market level

According to reports, 68,000 robots were sold in the Chinese robotics market in 2015, including about 22,000 domestic robots. At first glance, this figure was not bad:

Why is China's industrial robot technology behind 15 years abroad?

However, the definition of the robot is very confusing. Most of the 22,000 Taichung products are three-axis, four-axis, and rectangular coordinates. Strictly speaking, they do not meet the definition of “industrial robots” that IFR considers. Both price and technical content cannot be compared with what we often refer to as multi-joint robots.

To plan for these, multi-joint industrial robots have sales of only about 2,000 units. (The China Robotics Industry Association is a relatively official and authoritative industry organization in the country. There are 6,000 figures that have been figured out. This is purely nonsense, either because statistical calibers are wrong or they are Not verifying the data, either deliberately, you can imagine the chaos of this industry ...), and most of the "robot" companies are just prototypes of a small amount of trial manufacturing, do not have industrial value, a few domestic companies have batch manufacturing industrial robots Companies - I will not name them - the average annual output is only a few hundred units, far reaching the level required for break-even, the market recognition is extremely low, lose money are not earn enough to drink, in other words, can not To achieve self-hematopoiesis to maintain survival.

In order to develop the robotics industry, the country has to make huge subsidies, from the national 863 plans, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Anhui three provincial governments, Chongqing, Dongguan, Taizhou, Shenzhen and other cities, national, provincial, municipal governments have come up with The subsidy of billions of dollars in funds has given birth to the market's abnormal prosperity and development. There are many companies, and the products are patchwork. There is no technology, and the only purpose is to cheat.

Why is China's industrial robot technology behind 15 years abroad?

According to the latest industry data reported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology after reporting to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are a total of 800 robotics companies in the country, of which about 200 are corporate entities. In this statistics, many companies that have registered robotics names in the business register and currently do not do robot business, and only a few entrepreneurial team companies, or the actual robot business scale is small, and the relevance of the robot business are small, are excluded.

These incomplete statistics from private and local governments are also rough judgments and even higher. For example, in January 2015, Luo Baihui, a global robotics research expert and deputy chairperson of Dongguan Robotics Association, stated at an investment salon in Shenzhen that by the end of 2014, the number of Chinese robot-related companies had exceeded 4,000. In July of that year, a white paper led by the Shenzhen Economic and Trade Information Commission showed that as of the end of 2014, there were only 200 professional robot companies in Shenzhen, and more than 3000 companies involved in robots and smart products through business expansion. Family.

It seems that the Chinese robotics industry has never been as crowded as it is now. The robotics industry figured out an account for the reporter: In 2015, the sales volume of robots in China was only 70,000 units, and one unit was calculated at 200,000 yuan. The output value was only over 140 billion yuan, 85% of foreign-funded products were removed, and only 21 were domestic products. Billion sales. According to this calculation, the annual sales of 800 robotics companies with statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are less than 3 million on average; and if they are replaced with large-caliber statistics, most companies named robots actually have virtually no sales at all.

in conclusion:

This is probably the case with chaos in the Chinese robotics industry. Of course, as a practitioner among them, I always think that China’s robotics industry has a chance, and I’m still playing in this turbulent, turbulent market. In this industry, the success of entrepreneurship and the realization of the dream of wealth and freedom.

The future of the Chinese robotics industry is bright and the roads are twists and turns. I am very pleased to be able to search through the industry in this great era and go forward with my colleagues.
