China Industry 4.0 Problem: Upstream components still rely on Japan

Summary ["Today we went to see these processes, in fact, some of them have been automated, but the problem is that there are still islands between these different processes, they have not really gotten through each other, and have not achieved the overall operational capability.

["Today we went to see these processes. In fact, some of them have been automated, but the problem is that there are still islands between these different processes. They have not really gotten through each other and have not achieved the overall operational capability. Thousands of enterprises constitute the industrial society. It also forms an industrial chain that contains the upper, middle and lower reaches and needs to be connected to each other, and this is also an opportunity for Industry 4.0."]
The dynamic dance music is mixed with the metal sound of the manipulator swinging. Walking into the 7H Hall of the National Convention and Exhibition Center in early November, it is like a science fiction movie scene in the world of tomorrow. The large venues are home to China's Xinsong, as well as the production giants of robots and industrial automation equipment such as ABB, KUKA, and NACHI, and showcase the latest products with their respective technological advantages to cope with Future Industry 4.0. Demand.
"Xinsong is the leading domestic leader, but you can see that we are surrounded by foreign companies." Han Songlin said with emotion that at the age of 27, he just graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and entered the new year of Zhongke Xinsong.
The Xuzhou boy, who has a master's degree in automation, insisted on working in Shanghai Xinsong. "At the income level, many Internet companies must be higher now, but I am more concerned about the trend of Industry 4.0." Han Songlin told the First Financial Reporter.

From hardware to solution
As Han Songlin said, Zhongke Xinsong, which is relatively centrally located in Hall 7H, is surrounded by booths from international giants such as ABB in Switzerland, KUKA in Germany, and Nazhi in Japan. You can see each other’s intelligence in their booths. Mechanical devices and robots - Standing next to Han Songlin is a new loose-armed cooperative robot that is taller than him. The white one is assembling a black small drone, which is exceptionally eye-catching, and the dexterous robot can The man-machine propeller is installed, and the whole process is smooth and fluid.
“Can you tell me what sensor you are using?” Lu Jun, general manager of Suzhou Road Vehicle Intelligent Electronics Co., Ltd., repeatedly asked the staff of Han Songlin and other Zhongke Xinsong. As a domestic merchant, Lu Jun is a special trip. Will "sweep the goods", traveled all over the booth booths of Chinese and foreign exhibitors.
"I am a sensor, I am very optimistic about the future of Industry 4.0. Intelligent equipment including robots is a big class." Lu Jun told the First Financial Reporter that the road army bluntly said that there are still gaps between China and developed countries, especially Japan. The robot, the sensor is doing very well. "To be honest, the Japanese's movement distance and angle are accurate. Our domestic original research and development is poor. Some domestic manufacturers are looking for Japan and other foreign counterparts to buy parts and components. Very few."
In addition, in the view of Lu Jun, there are few types of domestic intelligent equipment. The reason why there are few, except for the design can not keep up, the algorithm can not keep up.
In addition to the hardware field that many domestic and foreign suppliers intend to occupy in the "running enclosure", the personalized solution is also one of the pain points in China.
In Zhang Zhen, the general manager of Wanteng Technology, many industrial enterprises have no software to operate after they have the most advanced software; or they can only operate and cannot exert greater efficiency. In the end, they ignore the "intelligent manufacturing". The role of people. In his view, personalized solution providers have huge market space in the future.
Xie Dingquan, deputy director of the Panasonic business department, also told the First Financial Reporter that there is a clear outline of the domestic and international industrial 4.0 and smart manufacturing cases. In the past, more domestic investment was in equipment, and now more is solved through internal solutions. To improve overall efficiency.
In the view of Du Yuhe, secretary general of the China Industry 4.0 Club, the personalized service provider is the pioneer of the future blue ocean market development. When a large number of factories in China are being intelligently transformed, foreign equipment suppliers are more likely to upgrade to wireless control equipment based on wired CNC equipment. The development of wireless device interface standards, due to the qualitative changes from wired control to wireless control, from structure to mode, and these changes are based on customized service providers customized solutions, differentiated competition is likely to make the blue ocean reappear.

Stone of other mountains
Compared to other companies, the KUKA booth in Germany is much more dynamic. The "Rock Superstar" KR3 AGILUS robot brings drum performances, and visitors can also play mad with it. In the midst of the lively background, KUKA brought its RobotTeam dual robot welding station to the "Industrial 4.0" intelligent trend, using two KR CYBERTECH robots KR8 R1420 and KR10 R1420 to demonstrate compact and efficient welding operations. The new product display on the machine tool loading and unloading shows its high integration and fine driving characteristics.
As the proponent and advocate of “Industry 4.0”, Germany is in a leading position in manufacturing equipment, industrial automation, industrial software, etc., and strengthens “hard manufacturing” through the coordination of all industrial systems (research institutions, associations, universities, etc.). Advantages, while expanding the "soft service" capabilities.
These will give Germany and even Europe a total of 200 billion to 300 billion euros in output value, and the radical changes brought about by Industry 4.0 will also be revealed in the future.
Liu Huowei, managing director of Bosch Rexroth China, told the First Financial Reporter that many of Germany's technologies are very mature and reach “Industry 3.0”. Many companies in China are still in the 2.0 stage. In the next 10 years, the biggest challenge facing China's manufacturing industry is how to complete "3.0" and "4.0" together, and the goal is very clear.
He said that for Industry 4.0, German companies including Dr. Rexroth pay special attention to the following four points: new line investment, old line transformation, interconnection services, and industry 4.0 training.
Take the old line transformation as an example. Don't look at the changes in some factories in Germany, but the benefits and purposes are amazing. He said that after the transformation of the Luer plant in Germany, the production efficiency increased by 6%, and its adaptability to a variety was also increased by 10 times. It is estimated that the cost will be recovered within one to three years. “You can invest in a brand-new production line that can meet various production requirements and increase the variety, but the investment return period will be longer, and some will be more than 10 years. Through the old factory transformation, the payback period has been greatly reduced.”
In addition, many machines require maintenance. “Equipment maintenance, remote programming, etc. can reduce production costs and increase the availability of facilities.”
Liu Huowei also said: "The German company is also very good at: Industry 4.0 training. We not only provide training equipment, but also use these equipment to train our employees. We have 250 factories around the world, and rich industrial manufacturing experience can be shared, and Some system software and hardware are also produced by the company itself, and there is no dependence on other suppliers. Simply put, the training center is a mini factory that covers the complete production value stream."
Contrary to Germany, the US approach is to cut through "soft services" and use its comprehensive advantages in basic science, industry, information technology, and the Internet to build a global ecosystem organization that will drive the entire process of the industry. The overall improvement of the link competitiveness.
The docking and collaboration of the industrial Internet in the US and Germany have begun. Regardless of the terminology used by virtue, the Industrial Internet is the technological foundation for transforming the industry and establishing new competitive advantages. It focuses on combining top-level design with dominant enterprise leadership, highlighting the central role of data in the overall architecture, and accelerating the standardization process in related fields. Since the second half of last year, the two sides have initiated the coordination and coordination of their respective systems, and achieved full docking in the functional field, initially forming a cooperative and coordinated situation to jointly lead the development direction of the global industrial Internet.
Not only in the macro perspective of high-rise buildings, the concept of operating companies in these countries is very different. According to Colin Angle, co-founder and CEO of iRobot, the world's largest market share of sweeping robots, iRobot can achieve annual sales of 650 million US dollars. The company has invested no less than 70 million US dollars each year in research and development, which is close to one-tenth. In his view, any company can only maintain long-term healthy growth if it continues to invest in research and development.

Local brands are growing rapidly
Compared with German Industry 4.0, which emphasizes different technologies and models, China also launched “Made in China 2025” a year ago. It has also made overall plans for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry from the perspective of industry and policy, but both of them are similar. It is to achieve smart manufacturing.
Wang Haibin, executive vice president of Siemens China and general manager of Digital Factory Group, said in an interview with the first financial reporter: "Intelligent manufacturing is actually upgrading equipment from electrical to automation. The iconic technology is that industrial control computers such as PLC can be installed in machines. On, people can write various logic control programs and automatic analysis programs."
With Atlas Copco, an industrial group focused on the manufacture of compressors, pavement equipment, generators, etc., the use and management of tools on some production lines has been automated. Atlas Copco (Nanjing) Construction Mining Co., Ltd. has a fully automatic mobile production line "I-FLOW", which not only makes the production line "flow", but also compatible with the assembly of 7 products, saving 27 % assembly space, increasing production capacity by about 42%.
“Today, we went to see these processes. In fact, some of them have been automated, but the problem is that there are still islands between these different processes. They have not really gotten through each other and have not achieved the overall operational capability. Thousands of enterprises constitute the industrial society. Also formed an industrial chain, containing the upper, middle and lower reaches, need to connect with each other, and this is also an opportunity for Industry 4.0." Wang Haibin said.
It is in this context that, as the jewel of the top of the manufacturing industry, the robot industry has greatly affected the process of intelligent manufacturing in China. "The current global robot development is at the turning point of shuffling, and Chinese robot companies have the opportunity to catch up with foreign companies." Qu Daokui, president of Xinsong Robot Automation Co., has repeatedly stressed.
According to the five-year development plan of China's robot industry, by 2020, China's own-brand industrial robots will reach an annual output of 100,000 units, and the total sales volume will reach 150 billion yuan. Under such development plans, the domestic robot industry has been in a high-speed development stage in the past five years, especially in the new market of collaborative robots, and local brands have risen rapidly.
The rapid rise of China's own brand robots can be seen from the exhibition of the industry fair. The first dual-armed robot developed by Shinsong was first launched at the Industry Fair. The robot is equipped with flexible multi-joint technology and a movable binocular vision system, which provides more freedom for industrial manufacturing with more integrated and flexible performance. Open work solution.
In addition, in front of Efte's smart equipment booth, an orange robot dexterously waved his arms; Eston's robots drew leisurely paintings; New Time's palletizing robots easily sucked two Cartons in fixed stations are intelligently stacked. More flexible, flexible, safer, and easier to use, these local brands want to communicate to the outside world.
“Because foreign companies enter the robot market earlier, they have great advantages in cost and price control. At the same time, mature and perfect systems of foreign companies also help the products to be quickly localized.” Chen Hongwei, engineer of Zhongke Xinsong R&D Department The media including the First Financial News said.
From the perspective of industry applications, the most widely used application scenarios for human-machine collaboration robots are still concentrated in the 3C industry. Taking smartphone manufacturing as an example, the production process involves welding, assembly, grinding, testing, etc., not only to keep up with the speed of product replacement, but also to ensure quality control problems in complex processes. Human-machine collaboration is currently the best solution. Program.
"Collaborative robots are the only way to manufacture in China." Wang Wei, president of Hunan Ruisen Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. stressed that in its view, the current requirements for collaborative robots in the market are mainly concentrated on four points: first security; second easy The utility is to realize the human factor engineering design of software navigation to hardware operation; the third is to monitor the motion posture, to realize the monitoring of working distance and speed and acceleration; the fourth is the flexibility of the body, which can be perceived and monitored. Peripheral collision and extrusion.
However, in the collaborative robot market, the four major families of industrial robots (Swiss ABB, Japan FANUC, Germany KUKA, Japan Yaskawa Electric) have localized services based on their layout in China's manufacturing base and a comprehensive global business network. Very quickly, it is not so easy for local brands to tear through the cracks in the market.

China's momentum is "breaking"
Guanshou Zhengshou, standing on the second floor of Nachi, Japan, can see the exhibits of Zhongke Xinsong China's counterparts in a high-profile manner. As one of the heads of Nachi Robotics Center in Japan, Guanshou Zhengshou has been in China for seven years. Time, he said that the seven-year period has changed a lot, especially the Chinese government's support for Industry 4.0 continues to increase, and he is now very optimistic about the demand for China's future Industry 4.0.
As one of the world's leading companies in the world, Nazhi has also moved a part of an intelligent car equipment line directly into the exhibition of the Industrial Fair. Two rows of six high-lifting 3-joint robots operate the car. Manufacturing assembly, the audience needs to look up, this becomes one of the signs of the Nazhi booth.
"For manufacturers, to achieve Industry 4.0, we must improve the communication of smart devices to meet the requirements of customers on the production line." Guankou Zhengshou explained to the First Financial Reporter the industry 4.0 points he understood, Guan Zhengshou revealed that Nazhi in 2015 Sales performance has nearly tripled, and the reason for this growth is that Nachi has introduced the latest technology products such as the MZ series of small robots in China. He introduced that according to the data obtained by Nachi, China's demand for industrial robots will increase by 20% per year by 2020, which is the country with the largest global demand. Therefore, Nazhi is the most important to the Chinese market.
Statistics show that China is still the world's largest and fastest-growing robot market in the next few years. By 2018, one out of every three industrial robots produced will be used in China.
Yin Yibo, vice chairman of Delta’s subsidiary, Zhongda Dentsu, told the First Financial Reporter at the Industry Fair: “The increase of Chinese robots this year is about 100,000 units, which is higher than last year’s 70,000 units, but we It is expected that the demand for Chinese robots will be 1 million units in the future, so there is still much room for development."
At the same time, Roland, the marketing director of KUKA China, told the First Financial Reporter that KUKA is very optimistic about the Chinese market.
Not just the Chinese market, China's manufacturing industry, especially the pioneering Chinese robot industry, has been given more meaning in the context of Industry 4.0.
China has the largest and most complete manufacturing industry in the world, and there is a strong driving force for transformation and upgrading through the industrial Internet. China has the world's second largest Internet industry, and the information industry development level is relatively small. It is initially driven by information technology. The ability to upgrade.
"China's industrial robots are basically the way to go before the "four big families"." Zhang Xiaofei, chairman of the high-tech robot, bluntly said. Different from industrial robots, the whole robot industry is developing in the direction of artificial intelligence, especially service robots, which puts higher demands on big data, cloud technology and voice image recognition technology. This is undoubtedly the Chinese robot industry. Bring potential opportunities.
“Compared with industrial robots, domestic enterprises are better at developing service robots. Service robots are closer to consumers and can be further researched on intelligence to make products more suitable for banking, shopping malls and other application scenarios.” Chen Hongwei said.
In his view, for the current domestic enterprises, "the robots in the consumer field should develop in the direction of intelligence and biochemicals, and the industrial field should pay more attention to the digitization and integration of products."
At present, 95% of the domestic robot industry is concentrated in the downstream system integrators. The upstream components still rely on imports, but the service robots must win in the future competition, and cannot be separated from the core components and robot body support. "No matter what kind of path, system integrators, ontology vendors and core component companies should cooperate with each other." Zhang Xiaofei pointed out.
