Loading and unloading, polishing, testing, assembly ... This six-axis industrial robot TR8 developed by the secret robot not only knows how to play 18 martial arts, but also an enemy of eight, that is, a TR8 can replace eight industrial workers. It is worth noting that the Secco Robot is the "crystal" of Changchun Precision, a mobile phone component manufacturer, and Yaskawa Electric, one of the four major family of robots.

The marriage between Changying Precision and Yaskawa Electric can be seen as one of the paths for the future development of “Dong Zhi Zhi Zhiâ€. With the advancement of “machine substitution†in recent years, the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry has reached a crossroads. More and more companies are actively choosing to transition to “smart manufacturingâ€, and a large number of companies have revived themselves based on transformation.
According to industry observers, the focus of smart manufacturing is a complete process and end-to-end transformation process. It is a drastic change from an entire ecological chain such as R&D, production, products, channels, sales, and customer management. In this process, the company redefines and designs its own R&D, production processes, and supply chain systems to achieve both production efficiency and resource utilization. However, in order to achieve true smart manufacturing, we must take the lead role of leading enterprises in the industry, support the government, and promote Dongguan to achieve “turning overtakingâ€.
1, "machine substitution" heat continues to rise
In the Wencheng Industrial Zone of Dongcheng, Jinsheng Intelligent has invested 50 robots in the grinding workshop. The labor cost has been greatly reduced, and the product quality has basically reached the standards of Huawei and other branded mobile phone manufacturers; Dazhong Electronics is only a few kilometers away from Jinsheng Intelligent. After the automation reform, the average production capacity of workers has increased from the previous tens of thousands of pieces/month to more than 100,000 pieces/month today; the same five-piece technology that provides Huawei mobile phone support services has invested RMB 350 million in succession. Substituting machines to increase the output value of the company by 30%...
The above data is still constantly refreshing, these companies are only a microcosm of Dongguan's new round of technological transformation. Since 2014, Dongguan has taken the lead in launching a series of technical reform policies such as “Machine Substitution for Three Years Action Planâ€, “Dongguan Manufacturing 2025†and “Finance Leasing†to ease the “difficulty in employment and labor-expensive†problem and fully support Dongguan enterprises to improve their technology and industry level. .
After three years of hard work, Dongguan’s “substitution for machines†achieved remarkable results. Not only did more and more Dongguan enterprises achieve transformation and upgrading, they also stimulated industrial investment in the entire city. According to data provided by the Dongguan City Economic and Trade Bureau, from September 2014 to January 31, 2017, a total of 2,698 special fund projects for “machine substitution†were declared, with a total investment of approximately 38.6 billion yuan, and 76,315 new equipment and instruments ( Sets), of which Wan production equipment accounted for 17.5%. Within three years, the average annual increase in investment in industrial technological reforms is 50.91%. After the completion of the project, labor productivity has increased by an average of 2.5 times, which can reduce the number of employed workers by nearly 200,000, and the unit product cost has decreased by an average of 9.43%.
Under the condition that the traditional demographic dividend is continuously weakening, the high efficiency, low cost, and stable quality brought by the robots not only enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises, but also are an important starting point for companies to stay at the forefront of the industry and fully mobilize their enthusiasm. This has indeed attracted more and more companies to actively "test water" automation transformation.
As a result, the strong demand for "machine substitution" triggered a sudden increase in sales of robots and their parts. The reporter learned from Dongguan Robot Industry Association that some Dongguan enterprises want to purchase foreign brands but they have already appeared to be out of stock. “It's a very hot degree!†said Jiang Shilong, president of the association, “This means that the market demand for 'machine substitution' is constantly being released.â€
Topstar is a smart equipment company specializing in the production of robots. In the wave of industrial robots swept by the waves, enterprises seized the gate of "smart manufacturing" and successfully counterattacked from the new board to the main board. They also doubled in size and profit, and further derived and developed product lines. In the third quarter of this year alone, operating income was 189 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 90%, and net profit attributable to the parent company was 48.99 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 187%.
According to the prospective industrial research institute, the sales of global industrial robots in 2016 was approximately 290,000 units, an increase of 14% year-on-year. Among them, China's industrial robots sold 90,000 units, an increase of 31% year-on-year. It is expected that the average annual growth rate of global industrial robot sales will remain at around 12% in the next decade; in 2017, the global industrial robot sales volume will be around 330,000 units.
2. It is difficult for standardized machinery and equipment to meet the needs of production-oriented enterprises
In Changying Precision's production workshop at Songshan Lake, the reporter could not see the invigorating workers' production scene. Instead, the robots, machine tools, and AGVs of various shapes were constantly operating. The machinery and equipment in Changying Precision Workshop are constantly flashing green light. A few operators have ordered the machines to complete various production operations through the display screen. This reveals that the company has gradually entered a new era of “Dongguan Zhizhiâ€. breath.
Secretary of the board of directors Xu Zhengguang introduced that on average, each robot can replace 3 to 4 workers. According to reports, by the end of 2017, Changying Precision will have 2,800 robots to work on, of which 2,000 robots will be products of leading robot companies such as ABB and Fanuc, and 800 will be produced from Changying Precision and Yaskawa Electronics. The "Daughter" secret robot.
In addition to meeting the needs of Changying Precision, the secret robot is also sold externally. According to Miao Zhuo, deputy general manager of SJM Robots, the current production capacity of SX-Rui robots is 120 units per month, with 70 units for self use and 50 units for export. By 2020, the production capacity of the robots will reach an annual capacity of 10,000 units.
It is worth noting that, in order to ensure the quality of TR8, the secret robots share Yasukawa's global supply chain system, ranging from small screws to large core components, all with the introduction of professional and strict quality management practices to ensure product quality. The market price of the TR8 robot is lower than that of the four major families of robots (ABB, Fanuc, Kuka, and Yaskawa) with similar performance. There is a clear advantage.
The innovative model of the Secco robot is not alone in the field of robotics. Another mobile phone component manufacturer, Jinsheng Intelligence, embarked on a similar path to Changying Precision two years ago - acquiring Genesis, a maker of downstream precision engraving machines. After the acquisition, Jinsheng Smart not only successfully entered the high-end manufacturing field to achieve a magnificent transformation, but also took a profit and achieved a leap-forward growth. According to the Jinsheng Smart Annual Report, it is expected that the net profit for the first three quarters will be 413 million yuan to 421 million yuan, an increase of 417.13% to 427.15%. Jinsheng Intelligence revealed that this dazzling achievement is mainly due to the volume of Genesis products and the release of metal structural parts.
Similar to the secret robot and Genesis development path, there is equipment manufacturer Power Solid. The “birth†of Weiligu is closely related to the production of nearly five-fifths of the world's five circuit boards. The original power is a subsidiary of five scientific and technological establishments specializing in the production of machinery and equipment.
At the end of last month, Liu Yong, the responsible person of Wei Li Gu, also specifically went to Ningbo to research and learn from, hoping to bring excellent Ningbo Zhizhi experience back to Dongguan and apply it to product development and production. Liu Yong told reporters: “The establishment of PowerSolution stems from the demand for the production of a huge number of equipment that carries five strains of technology, and WeiLiGuo also sells it to the outside. Since the company was just established, its market needs further development.â€
At the Dongguan Innovation Forum and the Songshan Lake Robotics Industry Summit Forum held on November 2nd, Jiang Shilong said: “The production process made in Dongguan is complex and changeable, and standardized processes and machinery and equipment cannot meet the needs of a large number of production-oriented enterprises. Demand, which has promoted the transformation of some traditional manufacturing companies into smart manufacturing to establish or acquire a model of downstream subsidiaries and expand their business in robotics related fields."
In a survey conducted in the past few days, the reporter found that, in response to market demand, more and more manufacturing industries have transitioned to the upstream and downstream of the smart equipment industry chain, gradually forming a distinctive robot industry territory. According to statistics of the Dongguan Robotics Industry Association, Dongguan's smart equipment manufacturing enterprises reached more than 400 today from 100 in 2012, achieving an annual gross industrial output value of approximately 26 billion yuan, and the robot industry cluster is beginning to take shape.
Sun Li-ning, dean of the Yangtze River Scholars and the Suzhou Electrical Engineering College, analyzed the trends of emerging technologies at home and abroad and the status of China's manufacturing industry, and observed that in the field of smart manufacturing, Dongguan is one of the best-developed cities in the country. He believes that "Dongguan has seized this important opportunity for strategic development in the crucial period of the urgent need for transformation and upgrading."
3. Collaborative development complements industry shortcomings
The truck transported a box of cargo to the warehouse. After receiving the order, the handling robot walked out of the warehouse and transported the goods to a warehouse of nearly 20,000 square meters. The man was responsible for putting the goods on the shelves and picking them. The people saved the goods. From the time of finding and relocating goods... This logistics automation solution is designed by Hikvision Robot for Huawei, saving manpower by 54% and production efficiency by 84%.
It is worth noting that Haikang robots also provide hardware and software services for Jingdong’s newly built “world's first full-process unmanned warehouseâ€.
Yingying Ying is the technical director of the business department of Haikang Robotics and came to Dongguan from Hangzhou with this logistics automation solution. During the hours of the Dongguan Innovation Forum and the Songshanhu Robotics Industry Summit Forum, many enterprises were extremely aware of this. Interested and put forward the intention of cooperation.
“Hikvision is also producing security products, and later it will further develop the mobile robots and system solutions robots. It is also based on the original company's industrial genes.†In Yu Yingying's view, smart manufacturing is a new industry, and the comparison of the front road Confused, everyone is looking for and exploring an effective path. The only thing that can never change is that the company's genes cannot change.
With more than ten years of experience in the field of robotics, Yu Yingying observed that smart manufacturing is not an isolated industry, but a drastic change in the whole ecological chain based on the characteristics of the industry. From the hardware and software to the solutions, these companies have very strict requirements. It is still difficult for enterprises to fully roll out. "I suggest that in the current stage of the development of smart manufacturing, taking individual projects as an example, we will cooperate with the upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain to serve the project."
For the first time this year, Jinsheng Intelligence obtained orders for smart manufacturing service business with a total amount of RMB 9.6 million, making an important step forward for the service providers of transforming intelligent manufacturing system solutions. The Yellow River, the general manager of Dongguan Zhongchuang Intelligent Manufacturing System Co., Ltd. (Jinsheng Precision Group), told reporters that the first order did not have any idea of ​​making money, mainly establishing benchmarks and promoting smart manufacturing projects.
It can be seen that there is still a long way to go to make up for hardware, software and ecological shortcomings, and to build a smart manufacturing industrial chain and innovation chain driven by market demand.
Many industry arguments suggest that the path to explore the development of smart manufacturing focuses on collaboration and leadership. Under the market traction of domestic consumer demand upgrading and various industries' intelligentized demand for transformation, aiming at high-end technologies, equipment and software systems, leading enterprises in the industry will take the lead, develop the role of government guidance and support, and use the market mechanism to establish an innovation industry alliance. Collaboration breaks through key common technologies, equipment and software systems required for intelligent manufacturing, and promotes Dongguan manufacturing to achieve “curve passingâ€.
According to Zhu Hongren, executive vice chairman and chairman of the China Entrepreneurs Association, many enterprises still have many confusions and misunderstandings about smart manufacturing, path selection, key transformation directions, and implementation strategies. At present, everyone generally pays attention to the technical features of intelligent manufacturing, while ignoring the most basic driving force of intelligent manufacturing. In fact, the transformation of the entire industrial operating model requires companies to not only need software and technical equipment, but also to require profound changes in the company's operating model and management model.
