As industrial robots continue to evolve, it is hoped that they will become more autonomous and flexible, and in the future they will be able to work side by side with humans. In the future these robots will cost less and have a wider range of applications than those used before in manufacturing.
Industrial robot
Since the 1970s, the structure and application technology of industrial robots have not changed much, and most of them are used to perform repetitive, simple, boring and even dangerous jobs. At present, industrial robots are mainly used in large-scale production with capacity and output demand, such as automobile, electronics, food and beverage industries. Due to the obvious scale effect of the automobile industry, the automobile industry has always been the most widely used industrial robot industry. Since last year, the electronics industry has become the biggest user of industrial robots due to rising demand in The Chinese market. Meanwhile, robots are also used in traditional industries such as food and beverage, metal products and plastic products.
The application of artificial intelligence in manufacturing
In terms of application, the future logistics and retail industry will become a new application field of robots due to the high demand for manpower and the rapid development of industrial scale. Whether warehouse or logistics industry itself needs sorting work; Whether loading, replenishment or retail shelf management, are suitable for robot application scenarios. Therefore, logistics and retail industry will be the next emerging industries to develop, and it is also the beginning of the penetration of robots from industry to service industry.
Due to aging and rising labor costs, the demand for robots in Europe is shifting from large factories to small and medium-sized factories and even small workshops. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the production characteristics are small batches of varieties, the production process to keep switching, the use of traditional industrial robots will consume too much switching time. Therefore, smes need small and flexible products, and the ease of use of robots is key.
The ideal factory of the future
The ideal factory in the future is an intelligent factory that combines robotics, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology. The production line is equipped with sensors to collect the relevant data of products and equipment in each stage of the production process; Robots work autonomously and cooperatively to complete various complex tasks; The production and processing stations work independently or cooperatively and adjust the previous working procedure according to the manufacturing process; The visual data collected by the camera triggers an automatic correction process when it detects discrepancies in specifications. The factory controls product quality through the test data of manufacturing network, and manages sensors and customer data based on software. The system has independent learning ability and decision-making ability. Intelligent manufacturing can completely change the production process, collect predictive maintenance information through the sensors of the equipment, improve inventory and capacity information, optimize delivery and logistics, maintain product quality, improve capacity, increase the flexibility of the factory, and adapt to the production requirements of small batch and multiple varieties.
The development of industrial robots can be roughly divided into three generations
The development of the first generation of industrial robots is the teaching reproduction type. This type of robot is mainly composed of a robot hand controller and a teaching box. It performs repeatedly according to the preset recorded information, which is the most widely used in the industry.
The development of the second generation of industrial robots, called sensory robots, this type of robot power sense, touch and vision. They go through these senses to stop responding to information from the outside world, and these robots are used today.
The development of the third generation of industrial robots is ai artificial intelligence robots. It is not only capable of sensing and understanding the external environment, but also can complete tasks even if the external environment is changed. At present, this type of robot is still in the experimental stage.
Industrial robots are upgrading, and the development of science and technology makes people more and more able to understand the convenience that industrial robots bring to us. China's development is inseparable from the manufacturing industry, and the manufacturing industry is inseparable from the development of industrial robots. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
In general, China's industrial robot industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, the gap of China's industrial robot up to 1.5 million, the market prospect is very broad. Robots will be a hot new field in the future market, and countries all over the world are taking the lead.
