Make up for weaknesses and break through

IC200UDD040 Looking back on history, Dai Jiapeng believes that a key factor in the rise of internationally renowned robot manufacturers, including the four major families of industrial robots, is that they have worked closely with automobile manufacturers for many years, starting from meeting the needs of spot welding, spraying, handling and other needs for automobile manufacturing, finding application scenarios, and developing new products according to customer needs. “I think the idea of integrating the two is a very good one.” Dai Jiapeng said. The so-called “two” refers to informatization and industrialization, and the integration of the two is to make informatization and industrialization highly combined, to drive industrialization by informatization, and to promote informatization by industrialization. Dai Jiapeng believes that many people are aware of the importance of technology, information technology emphasizes technology, but technology is not enough, technology must have a place to use, and the technology incubated from the place of use is the most vitality.

IC200UDD040 To find a place for technology and force the progress of technology from the application scenario is also the experience of some industrial robot practitioners. South China Intelligent Robot Innovation Research Institute is doing industrial robot grinding, welding, spray glaze and other fields of technology research and development, when the Economic Observer reporter asked the enterprise’s acceptance of the research institute’s technical results, President Cao Yongjun told reporters that customers value is not the research institute’s patent situation, the key is to see whether it can solve the actual problems on the production line.

IC200UDD040 The robot company told reporters that the company’s industrial robots have made a breakthrough in the welding of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and in 2020, the company has launched a new series of fire arc welding robots for welding, and the market demand is obvious. “It fully confirms that it is necessary to break through after intensive cultivation in the subdivided key areas, and it can be said that in recent years, many domestic industrial robots are constantly expanding the market application field in this way.” According to the robotics company.

For the follow-up development, robot companies believe that it is necessary to break through the domestic substitution of core parts, core parts are still the bottleneck restricting the development of domestic robots, if you do not hold the core parts in your own hands, with the intensifies competition in the industry, foreign brands price, domestic brands will be very passive.

IC200UDD040 In addition, the robot company pointed out that there is not only a high-end talent gap in the industry, but also a problem with the talent training structure, which focuses on research and development and light application.

“In the field of core parts and local manufacturing, there is a shortage of R & D technicians who master core technologies and assemblers with rich experience; In the field of system integration, there is a lack of professionals with interdisciplinary ability, and the training of application-oriented talents such as on-site commissioning, maintenance operation and operation management is still insufficient. In the past, it is difficult to meet the needs of future industry talents by relying solely on the training mechanism of professional schools, and it is necessary for the government, enterprises, educational institutions and third-party industry organizations to jointly promote the training and development of talents in China’s industrial robot industry.” According to the robotics company.

IC200UDD040 Dai Jiapeng emphasized the construction of basic capacity. He believes that software needs to be strengthened, including the underlying control software, the overall control software of the robot, the design analysis software, the industrial communication software and the simulation software. In terms of making up for the shortcomings of the industrial chain, Dai Jiapeng suggested that in addition to strengthening the collaboration between robot manufacturers and application industries, we should also pay attention to the power of second-order suppliers (that is, suppliers’ suppliers).

IC200UDD040 Since its birth, industrial robots have gone through three generations of development, from the first generation of teaching reappearance, which can only repeat the specified actions in the pre-installed program, to the second generation of offline computing programming, which significantly improves adaptability, and then to the third generation of intelligence, sensing ability, independent decision-making power, anti-interference ability, and gradually penetrate the manufacturing scene. “Do not underestimate components companies such as gears, bearings, sensors, light sensors, and pneumatics.” Dai Jiapeng said that the products of these parts companies can not only be provided to industrial robots, but also to other automation equipment, and their development and prosperity should be ahead of the manufacturing of robot machines.
