Output fell 13.7% year-on-year, industrial robots are in urgent need of the next growth point

In recent years, with the deep integration of the new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials and robot technology, the industrial robot industry has ushered in a new period of upgrading.

As can be seen from the statistical data, the development rate of industrial robots in China is really considerable. Production went from 72,400 units in 2016 to 212,000 units in 2020 to 366,000 units in 2021. Short a few years, the output rises all the way, the leapfrog growth lets the market heat rise all of a sudden.

Industrial robots are mainly used in the production process and the environment, such as collaborative robots, mobile robots and so on. Widely used in the industrial field of multi-joint manipulator or multi-degree-of-freedom machine device, and through the advanced control system to cooperate to complete automatic monitoring, intelligent packaging, product quality inspection, AR inspection, etc..

As the substitution "machine" project in the field of industrial applications, the current industrial robot has covered to automobile, electronics, metallurgy, light industry, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and other 52 types, 143 industries, and covers the welding, painting, assembling, handling, stacking, grinding, coating, sorting, packaging, testing, up-down material, such as dozens of process. In the future, it will fully penetrate into the primary and secondary industries and other fields.

The market is badly in need of the next growth point

Recently, the National Bureau of Statistics released the industrial and information Technology production data for May 2022. According to the data, the added value of industrial production above designated size increased by 0.7% year-on-year in real terms, and the growth rate of industrial production turned from negative to positive. Among them, the output of industrial robots was 36,616 sets, down 13.7% year on year, and the output of industrial robots from January to May was 166,091 sets, down 9.4% year on year.

Compared with 2021, this year's industrial robot development has stepped out of the pace of "low open", market environment, supply chain, raw materials and other influences led to a decline in output. It is believed that the next growth point of industrial robots will come soon with the recovery of manufacturing industry and strong growth of demand in new energy and other industries.

Enterprise "platform" for industry development into new volume

Industrial robots help the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry and the high-quality production and development of enterprises. From the perspective of enterprises entering the industrial robot field in 2022, New Hope is the "leader". In January 2022, new Hope Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing (Beijing) Co., LTD., a new company 100% controlled by New Hope Investment Group Co., LTD., was established, and its business scope includes industrial robot manufacturing. It is true that milk companies also began to "build" robots, new hope into the field of industrial robots into a new force.

At the same time, Recently, Huichuan Technology also voiced that the industrial robot business will still achieve rapid growth this year, the proportion of six-joint robots will gradually increase.

Policy support has helped the development of the industry to a new level

"14" intelligent manufacturing development plan "proposed, the implementation of intelligent manufacturing equipment innovation and development action, research and development of intelligent welding robot, intelligent mobile robot, semiconductor (clean) robot and other industrial robots. Promote the deep integration of advanced technology, information technology and manufacturing equipment, and accelerate the development and iterative upgrading of general and special intelligent manufacturing equipment through the construction of intelligent workshops/factories.

According to the 14th Five-Year Robot Industry Development Plan, China has been the world's largest consumer of industrial robots for eight consecutive years. Looking forward to the "14th five-year Plan", China's industrial robots will continue to make efforts to promote product innovation and application, and promote high-end intelligent development of products.

Will focus on research for automotive, aerospace, rail transportation in the areas of high precision, high reliability of the welding robot, automatic handling for the semiconductor industry, intelligent mobile and storage, such as vacuum (clean) robot, have explosion-proof function of industrial explosive items robot, AGV, unmanned forklift, sorting, packaging, logistics, such as robot, It is a mobile operation robot with flexible grasping and operation ability, which can move at any position in transfer, grinding, assembly and other working areas, realize any position and attitude reachable in space, and can be used for large-load, light-weight, flexible, double-arm and mobile cooperative robots in 3C, auto parts and other fields.

However, with the continuous improvement of industrial automation production demand, the traditional robot control system has gradually failed to keep up with the development demand, therefore, in order to make industrial robots better adapt to the production requirements, a new generation of industrial robot control system emerged at the historic moment, which is bound to lead industrial robots to a new level of development.
