Where Labor Is Expensive, Where Is Our Opportunity

Affected by the epidemic, many overseas companies are facing pressures such as rising warehouse rents, labor shortages, and rising labor costs. Companies urgently need to save labor to save operating costs. At the same time, flexibility is needed to cope with changing businesses and meet subsequent expansion needs. During the epidemic, the industrial robots produced in China's stable manufacturing environment can just meet overseas demand, which brings opportunities for Chinese industrial robots to go overseas.

Of course, Chinese manufacturing still has a long way to go, especially for Chinese industrial robot companies.

It should be noted that, in terms of technology, China's export products are mostly low-end products, and high-end products are still highly dependent on foreign sources. The average import price of each industrial robot is much higher than the average export price. We still have a big technological gap in high-speed, high-precision industrial robots. In terms of the main components of industrial robots, such as sensors, many of them are assembled from imported foreign products, and their own R&D capabilities are still insufficient. In terms of industrial robot control systems, FANUC and Siemens still dominate, and China does not yet have a control system that can compete with them. In addition, when China's industrial robots go to sea, the stability, safety, and reliability of products and technologies must be resolved. Domestic robots must have more advantages in performance in order to stand out from the competition with major foreign brands. Before exporting overseas, there must be related certifications, such as the CE certification of the European Union and the federal communications certification of the United States. This puts forward corresponding high standards for the functions of Chinese industrial robots.
