Under the modern manufacturing industry, the broad level of the industrial chain is becoming clearer: the industry circuit is becoming more and more segmented and interconnected.

The frequent exchange of values makes it impossible for automation manufacturers in the middle stream to ignore the complex downstream industry segments. Moreover, the “entropy increase” or “entropy decrease” in any link from core components, control system, ontology to integration will give rise to the widespread butterfly effect at a very fast speed.

In the face of the rapid development of China’s manufacturing industry, the “technological superiority” theory that foreign investors are proud of is rarely dented. The ability of local automation brands to cut to the bone, and the rapid turnover cycle of Chinese equipment, makes the rigorous market theories of the foreign giants look a bit stodgy and lagging.

Since the emergence of the concept of “emerging equipment industry” in China in 2010, in a short period of 7 or 8 years, many manufacturers have taken advantage of policy support, active research and development, mergers and acquisitions, rapidly narrowing the gap with foreign brands, and then occupy a place in frequency converter, servo drive, servo motor. For a time, the market and a group of heroes: local brands exported overseas, grassroots start-up into the house, each is you sing my debut, very lively.

In particular, the motion controller products known as the top products in the field of automation, in the background of semiconductor, photovoltaic, lithium manufacturers forward and back process expansion production line, one of its product types of small and medium-sized PLC demand has been greatly increased, and the local brand Huichuan and Xinjie has been able to break hands with foreign capital in the field of small and medium-sized PLC.

Today, PC-based motion controllers are looking for “servo-product” opportunities in industrial robotics. But different from the servo products, the robot controller is the most viscous and head aggregation effect, because the controller directly contacts the end customers, so that users can quickly develop the habit of using, and the majority of developers based on the secondary development platform of the controller research and development process, is also particularly important.

On the other hand, the ontology quotient using the third party controller is about 1/3 of the number of personnel and 1/5 of the period cost of the self-developed controller ontology quotient. The ontological cost of the former is about 1/2 of the selling price of the latter. Therefore, the big trend in the future is for third-party controller manufacturers to join hands with robot ontology manufacturers, integrators and end customers, and robot manufacturers with self-developed controllers to fight together in the vast general industrial downstream.

It is believed that in the near future, domestic motion controller can enter from the field of industrial robots, robot ontology manufacturers and third-party controller manufacturers work together to build a domestic (PC-based) integrated operation control platform, so that the whole automation market in China can truly realize the “dare to teach the sun and moon for the new day”.
