At present, the transformation of China’s manufacturing model has brought huge opportunities to the robot industry. Against the background of lack of labor, rising labor costs, and overcapacity in some industries, the iterative update of Robots is getting faster and faster, and the cost of robots is slowly decreasing. Therefore, In the long run, the Robot Industry will continue to maintain a positive trend.
Siasun Robot is affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is a leading robot enterprise in China and a national robot industrialization base. It is the first enterprise in China to realize robot export and a member enterprise of China Robot Summit. Since its establishment, SIASUN has adhered to independent innovation as the core competitiveness of enterprise development, has broken a number of foreign technological monopoly, filled the gap in domestic robotics technology, and participated in the drafting and formulation of a number of national robotics industry standards. It is particularly worth mentioning that, as one of the first manufacturers in the world to develop flexible collaborative robots, SIASUN was the first to realize the market application of products.
During the outbreak of the epidemic this year, SIASUN Robotics actively participated in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and made great contributions to alleviating the shortage of medical resources and preventing the spread of the epidemic.
Based on SIASUN’s real experience and personal experience in the fight against the epidemic, Qu Daokui, President of SIASUN, recently told us about the application of robot products during this epidemic, and analyzed the development status and future development trends of the domestic robot industry. .
What is the development status of the international and domestic robot industry?
Qu Daokui: It can be seen from the economic policies and Industrial development routes of various countries that the robot industry is still the focus of global national development strategies. Affected by the decline in the prosperity of the automobile and 3C industries, the growth rate of robot demand has been weak in the past two years. Due to differences in application industries, relevant statistics show that international robot manufacturers are more seriously affected than domestic manufacturers. The great changes brought about by the era of large-scale digitalization have made the robot industry no longer follow a linear development process in the past, but enter a stage of rapid and step-by-step development. From the perspective of the international market, the world’s leading robotics companies pay more attention to the high added value of their products, build cloud platforms, and focus on the development of digital factories. The domestic robot industry has undergone shuffling and regeneration here, and will enter a stage of rational development from pursuing quantity in the past to emphasizing development quality. In today’s Industry 4.0 era, intelligent manufacturing is a crowding out effect on human labor and a rigid binding effect on robots, thus creating significant market opportunities for robots. Especially after this epidemic, the demand for robots and intelligent manufacturing will increase significantly.
Compared with other companies in the industry, what are the competitive advantages of SIASUN?
Qu Daokui: SIASUN is an innovation-driven company, and innovation and R&D are the company’s core competitive advantages. In addition, after 20 years of accumulation and precipitation, the company has formed rapid response and service capabilities, a complete product chain, rich industry project experience and the advantages of resource integration. The specific performance is that the company took the lead in developing flexible collaborative robot products with world-class technology. , This series of products has won the robot internationalization award for many years. The company is the company with the most complete robot product line in the world. The customers it serves cover more than 20 application fields. The high-tech industry group is moving forward.
China has been the world’s largest Industrial Robot consumer market for many years in a row, but due to the impact of the macro economy, investment in downstream industries has slowed down, which has also had a certain impact on the robot industry. What do you think about this?
Qu Daokui: The slowdown in the growth rate of the automotive industry is the main reason for the simultaneous slowdown in the growth rate of China’s robot industry. In the total demand for domestic Industrial robots, the demand of China’s automobile industry accounts for more than 40%. The growth rate of the auto market has slowed down, but emerging markets have not fully grown, and the growth rate of China’s robotics industry has slowed down. And robotics technology has huge development space in national defense security, aerospace, medical, service and education. At present, the reform of China’s manufacturing model has brought huge opportunities to the robot industry. Against the background of lack of labor, rising labor costs and overcapacity in some industries, the iterative update of robots is getting faster and faster, and the cost of robots is slowly decreasing. Therefore, In the long run, the robot industry will continue to maintain a positive trend.
What do you think of someone who thinks that although the medium and long-term development prospects of the robot industry are promising, it will face relatively severe challenges due to macroeconomic factors in the short term? As a listed company, how does SIASUN deal with such challenges?
Qu Daokui: Opportunities often coexist with challenges. Technological breakthroughs and technological integration are the keys to grasping opportunities. Modern robots are no longer the concept of traditional mechanical and electronic equipment, but a collection of artificial intelligence, information electronics, big data networks, and perception systems. of high-tech products. In line with the development of the technology era, SIASUN increases investment in research and development, strengthens the integration and development of robots and new technologies, improves the added value brought by robots to users, seizes the development opportunities of emerging markets, strengthens the ability to integrate resources, and builds integrated development. The platform achieves a qualitative leap.
What is the development trend of the robotics industry in the future? Which robot has a wider application space?
Qu Daokui: Industrial robots and mobile robots are manufacturing robots and are the company’s main source of profit at present. Facing the urgent needs of industrial transformation and upgrading, intelligent manufacturing will continue to maintain a good development trend for a long time; with the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, people The demand for service and medical robots is gradually reflected, especially the outbreak of this epidemic, which also reflects the intrinsic value of service and medical robots. Therefore, service and medical robots will become a blue ocean market in the future, and SIASUN will focus on promoting the service and medical robot industry. In recent years, the industrialization scale of special robots has been expanding, and the continuous progress of technology has promoted the enhancement of special robots’ intelligence and environmental adaptability. There are more and more application scenarios. Quickly solving the problems of marketization and industrialization will make them a phoenix. The key to Pan.
On February 5th, SIASUN donated a series of robot products and intelligent medical auxiliary equipment worth 6.1 million yuan to the front-line units of epidemic prevention through the Shenyang Red Cross Society. How is the use of these robots in the front-line of epidemic prevention?
Qu Daokui: After the outbreak of the epidemic, the company paid great attention to and actively participated in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and worked overtime to complete the debugging of related products and quickly put the products on the front line of the battle. At present, the medical distribution robot and intelligent nursing bed donated by the company have been used in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University. They are mainly used in the daily care of patients and drug distribution, which effectively reduces the frequency of human-to-human contact. Communication plays an important role. Catering service robots have been put into use in hotels designated by tourists to avoid people gathering to receive meals and dine, and provide help for epidemic prevention and control management.
How is the operation of the smart mask production line independently developed by SIASUN?
Qu Daokui: The epidemic has made masks a necessity for people’s epidemic prevention. The company responded quickly and carried out the research and development of various types of mask production lines such as flat and N95 masks at the fastest speed according to different needs. In less than a week since the company’s R&D work, the company has received orders for nearly 100 sets, and the company is now working overtime to complete batch after batch of production work.
What role will SIASUN play in fighting the epidemic, earthquake relief, and coping with sudden disasters in the future?
