Full scenario: Ecology is king, one-stop solution full link enable made in China

IS200STCIH6A  Although the rapid development of technology in recent years has brought earth-shaking changes to various industries, the basic fact is that no technology company can master everything. The robot industry is no exception, the development of robot systems involves hardware, software, applications, sensors and interfaces and other aspects, must rely on the power of ecology to be able to conveniently achieve functional expansion for various scenarios. The UR+ solution will be launched in 2022 to deliver a flexible and consistent automated experience to end users. Youao will continue to vigorously build UR+ ecology and empower Chinese manufacturing with a more comprehensive program full link.

IS200STCIH6A  Our rich ecosystem of more than 1,100 integrators, distributors and independent partners around the world creates a wealth of components, systems and solutions that work seamlessly with every model of our product. In China, UR+ ecology continues to grow and today offers more than 230 component products, nearly 20 application kits, and mature standard solutions covering major collaborative applications such as welding, palletizing, machine care, locking, assembly, quality inspection, gluing, picking, handling, and polishing.

Because UR+ provides standard solutions that are easy to configure and use, a one-stop product service platform, and highly integrated, high-quality robot peripheral products, end users increasingly regard UR+ as an important decision-making factor in choosing suppliers, and UR+ ecology is becoming a new driving force for UAO’s business growth in China.

The number of local UR+ partners in China continues to increase, and the first partner in its ecosystem to provide a “turnkey” solution for the Chinese market is Tode Technology. For example, Tode’s nCobot collaborative composite Robot deeply integrates UAO’s collaborative robot arm with Autonomous Mobile robot (AMR – Autonomous Mobile Robot), with the collaborative robot arm acting as the “hand” function, and the AMR acting as the “leg” function, combined with the claw, camera and other components. The robot can easily shuttle between the designated position to perform the grasp, palletizing, detection, insertion and other rich instructions, and further enrich the application scenario of the robot.

Trend 5 – Customer co-creation: Customers will take a more active role in the product development process

Customers know their needs better than anyone else. As the market matures, customers today are better equipped than ever to provide valuable feedback and suggestions for product development. It is expected that entering 2023, customers will be able to play a more active role in product development, and the form of “customer co-creation” will further develop.

IS200STCIH6A  Youao has always been closely focused on the real feedback of customers and constantly innovate and iterate, hoping that the products can accurately grasp the needs of customers. For example, in the field of welding, Youao has keenly observed the challenges of recruitment and employment difficulties of industry customers, so it continues to introduce rich automatic welding solutions, so that collaborative robots can become the best “hand replacement” for welding technicians, thereby stabilizing the quality of production tasks, giving young people new skills, slowing down the huge workload of senior technicians, and indirectly improving the working environment. Help workers achieve skills iteration, so that more talent willing to return to manufacturing.

Among the many automatic welding solutions of Youao, some of them are co-created with customers. For example, in collaboration with TRUMPF (China) Co., LTD., a global industrial machine tool, laser technology and electronic technology company, we developed TruArc Weld 1000, a human-machine collaborative welding workstation. Equipped with the collaborative robot UR10e, the solution focuses on automating “multi-variety, small-batch” welding tasks to transform manufacturing businesses. Not only did we create this solution in partnership with TRUMPF China, which is also a customer of the company and has deployed the TruArc Weld 1000 itself.
