According to the International Robot Association (IFR) data, the global service robot market capacity in 2017 is close to 50 billion, and the sales growth of industrial robots in China is gratifying. In 2014, sales are expected to exceed 50,000 units. From 2015 to 2017, the average annual growth rate is expected to reach 25%, and sales in 2017 will reach 100,000 units. Faced with this fast-growing market, many domestic manufacturers are robbing the market, but the key technologies are subject to people, highlighting the embarrassment of development.
Xu Fang, Dean of Xinsong Robot Research Institute: The potential of industrial robot market is great
Since 2013, China has become the largest market for industrial robots in the world, but the density of manufacturing industrial robots is still very low. In 2013, the density of industrial robots in China was only 30 units/10,000 industrial workers, which was less than half of the global average, compared with industrial automation. High Korea (437/10,000 industrial workers), Japan (323/10,000 industrial workers) and Germany (282/10,000 industrial workers) have a larger gap. The domestic industrial robot market still has great potential.
In 2015, Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xinsong Robotâ€) pioneered the first robot for stamping production lines. The production line is used to process parts of BMW's new 2016 models. This is also the first domestic brand robot to provide stamping parts for international high-end car brands.
Xu Fang, dean of the Xinsong Robotics Research Institute, said: "This is the result of years of accumulation." More than a decade ago, Xinsong robots involved in press lines and final assembly.
At present, the number of sales of Xinsong robots in industrial robots is more than 1,000. Xinsong Robot has reached dozens of industrial robot products, covering welding, grinding, polishing, palletizing, painting, stamping and other fields, providing systematic services for the automotive, electronic appliances, power, food, pharmaceutical and other industries. According to financial report data, in 2015, the operating revenue of industrial robot products of Xinsong Robot increased by 8.63% year-on-year to 518 million yuan, and the gross profit margin was 33.74%.
However, what does not match the fast-growing market is that the operation status of most domestic robot manufacturers is not satisfactory.
Chinese manufacturers focus on high-end lack of core components for low-end robots
Under the policy urging, in just two years, the domestic market robot companies have reached nearly a thousand. According to statistics from the OFweek Industry Research Center, in the first half of 2015, more than 80% of the vendor's ontology business grew year-on-year, and only 20% of the vendors declined year-on-year. However, from the perspective of profitability, the loss of the robotic ontology business was as high as 70%. In other words, more than 70% of the company's ontology business is at a loss.
According to data released by the International Robot Association (IFR), in 2014, 70% of the world's industrial robots were sold to China, Japan, the United States, South Korea and Germany. Among them, the sales volume of industrial robots in the Chinese market reached 57,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 56%. It accounts for a quarter of global sales. It is worth noting that the sales volume of local robot manufacturers in China was 16,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 78%; while the sales volume of foreign robot manufacturers was 41,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 49%.
Although the sales growth rate is higher than that of foreign manufacturers, Chinese robot manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the low-end and lack of core technology. 90% of enterprises are under 100 million, but mainly concentrated in three-axis and four-axis low-end robots. High-end robots mainly rely on imports. In 2013, 36,500 industrial robots were purchased and assembled in China. Among them, foreign-funded robots were mainly high-end industrial robots, which almost monopolized high-end industries such as automobile manufacturing and welding, accounting for 96%. The main application of domestic robots was to carry and Mainly loading and unloading robots are in the low-end field of the industry.
The lack of core components is the source of the problem. Robot core components such as reducers, servo motors and controllers required for domestic robot products directly purchase foreign products, making it difficult for domestic robot products to compete with foreign products. Zhao Yong, CEO of China Robotics Network, said that at present, Chinese robot manufacturers sell no more than 1,000 units per year, which makes it difficult to cover the research and development costs of core components. "Because of the inability to meet the requirements of "all-day non-stop line" in production lines such as automobiles and ships, some domestic robot manufacturers can only survive in the production of some parts and components." Zhao Yong said.
In order to enhance the company's research and development strength, Xinsong Robot's annual research and development expenses have been increasing. From 2013 to 2015, it was 0.41 billion yuan, 68 million yuan, and 88 million yuan respectively. The proportion of operating income in the year is also increasing, respectively 3.1. %, 4.47%, 5%.
The gap between the domestic and foreign robotic families (Swiss ABB, Japan FANUC and Yaskawa Electric, Germany KUKA) is multifaceted, including product performance (directly in accuracy, speed), spare parts, control systems and so on.
The gap between domestic manufacturers and the four major families is also reflected in the accumulation of product applications. The four major families have a history of more than 20 years. The Xinsong robot has 15 years, and some other domestic robot manufacturers have only accumulated in two or three years. Xu Fang believes that the current product line of Xinsong Robot is relatively complete, and the biggest gap with the four major families is the scale.
Referring to the planning for the next few years, Xu Fang said that the controllers and software of all robots of Xinsong Robot are all autonomous, and the servo drive is doing some work. In terms of motors and reducers, it is necessary to cooperate with other domestic manufacturers. Judging from the development experience of the four international families, Xu Fang believes that the government only needs to support several large companies to become bigger and stronger or to carry out “big waves and sands†by the law of market development. There is no need to support all robot manufacturers.
