Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

With the continuous evolution of intelligent and flexible production in the manufacturing industry and the gradual introduction of cooperative robots, the scope of application of collaborative robots is getting wider and wider, the scope of industry development is getting wider and wider, the market scale is also getting larger and larger, and the product performance is strong. It has come to the fore rapidly in many industries.

However, the technical threshold of the overall solution of cooperative robot is high, and affected by many other factors, there are still landing obstacles and bottlenecks, the actual promotion speed is not up to expectations, and there is no large-scale, batch application and explosive growth. In the latest collaborative robot market report updated in 2021, Interact Analvsis sharply lowered its growth forecast in 2019. The downgrade was mainly due to the COVID-19 epidemic, competition between small multi-joint robots and SCARA robots in industrial environments, and slower-than-expected growth in the number of collaborative robots installed in non-industrial environments.

In this case, domestic collaborative robot enterprises focus on technological breakthroughs, strive to launch products with faster speed, higher precision and greater load, while deeply ploughing subdivided application scenarios, pay attention to the real needs of customers, and finally get customer recognition. In the recent major customer bidding, we have obtained the same order size as the industrial robot, realizing the transformation of the cooperative robot from the supporting role to the protagonist.

Come first after ductile growth

With the tide of the times sweeping in, how do collaborative robots break through and come first when industrial robots occupy the main battlefield of the manufacturing industry? What is the reason behind it is worth exploring and exploring.

China's collaborative robot industry started in 2010, although the layout is late, but the growth rate is fast. After years of cultivation, the Chinese market has completed the transition from the "tasting stage" to the "practical stage". Under the excavation of the application scene and the development of the product itself, the high flexible automation advantage of the cooperative robot is gradually giving full play to its value. inject new vitality into the manufacturing industry. With the continuous expansion of the market proportion, it has become an important growth engine for the productivity improvement of intelligent manufacturing industry.

According to the report on the Development of China's Collaborative Robot Technology in 2022, the share of domestic cooperative robots in 2021 is more than 90%. In the first half of 2022, China's industrial robot market grew 1.5% compared with the same period last year. While the overall market growth was weak, the growth rate of collaborative robots was much higher than the average market growth rate, reaching 22.2% year-on-year growth.

At the same time, the domestic cooperative robot has achieved success not only in the domestic market, but also in the foreign market, and has been highly recognized by the market because of its excellent technology and high performance-to-price ratio. Compared with the situation that the field of foreign industrial robots is dominated by overseas giants, overseas domestic cooperative robots are extremely active, and their market share is increasing year by year, becoming a backbone that can not be ignored and indispensable.

Break through the situation and take the usual route.

The most intuitive measure of the success of the domestic cooperative robot is the recognition of the market. The author recently learned that a leading electronics, automobile and new energy company has issued an one-time order for 3000 domestic six-axis cooperative robots, which is currently the largest single order in the world in the collaborative robot market. Is it accidental that such a super order appears in China?

The author found that behind this is the common achievement of the technological innovation of domestic collaborative robots, the emergence of new products, the in-depth expansion of new applications and the development of the whole industry chain.

Technological breakthroughs and sustainable innovation. Domestic collaborative robot enterprises innovate more according to application needs, constantly optimize products, firmly grasp the initiative of innovation, respond to customer needs in a timely manner, and quickly complete customized product research and development. In the model sequence, in addition to the international common 3kg, 5~6kg, 10~12kg, 16kg, 20kg load, but also quickly filled the 8kg, 25kg and other load levels, the earliest to achieve the seamless connection of the load level. The working radius also realizes the "stepless speed regulation" from 600mm to 2000mm. Customers have a large choice, and there is always one that can be perfectly adapted. In terms of work efficiency, both joint speed and TCP speed are higher than foreign products, gradually meeting the needs of efficiency priority scenarios.

Deep ploughing application, large-scale replication. The domestic cooperative robot bows itself into the scene, pays attention to the on-site needs of customers, and constantly develops new products and application process packages according to the special application environment to quickly achieve the landing of large-scale applications. Product research and development for special application environment also allows domestic cooperative robots to rapidly expand the scope of application of the environment, IP68, explosion-proof, cryogenic and other product capabilities in extreme scenarios to achieve application breakthroughs.

The whole industry chain, mature development. The domestic collaborative robot industry makes full use of the advantages of the complete domestic industrial chain, and its own rapid development has also led to the development of related industrial chains, accelerating the industrial division of customized harmonics, frameless motors and other components. The design and manufacturing technology is becoming more and more mature and the cost is reduced rapidly. With the collaborative robot ontology manufacturer as the carrier, the supply chain, ecological chain and value chain achieve collaborative co-prosperity and rapid growth, showing a situation of letting a hundred flowers blossom, and achieving a high degree of controllability of R & D and manufacturing costs.

From the supporting role to the protagonist

The super-large order of collaborative robots, which is the leader in this field, has jumped from hundreds to thousands, completely rising to one energy level, ushering in an unprecedented historic breakthrough, leading to an explosive surge in the collaborative robot market. The number of orders is in line with the scale of industrial robots, allowing collaborative robots to complete a magnificent turn from a supporting role to a protagonist.

The emergence of this order is the recognition of collaborative robots in the mainstream market. The transformation of the leading role in the manufacturing scene is a strong refutation of the stereotype of collaborative robots in the past, such as "mainly aimed at special needs scenarios and virtual prosperity", as well as strong evidence of the universality of the scene for collaborative robots.

The reporter learned from important sources that the company that won the super order for collaborative robots is Elliot Robot. "the emergence of this order shows us that Elliot is moving in the right direction. Collaborative robots are not a small market, but a huge and fast-growing market." The author had the honor to interview Dr. Cao Yunan, CEO of Elliot Robot, who said: "the large order is good news for the whole industry, which proves that the track of collaborative robots is getting wider and wider, and that ecological partners will have more and more confidence in collaborative robots. Elliot will actively respond to market changes, continue to explore incremental opportunities, adhere to the promotion of product power, in the domestic continued deep ploughing at the same time, continue to expand overseas markets, let the world see the power of 'Chinese intelligence'. "

Recently, the 2023 China International Industry Expo showcased nearly a thousand new products and technologies in the robot market, and collaborative robot manufacturers competed together. The author believes that the rapid expansion of the cooperative robot market has become an inevitable trend.

End:

It can be seen that collaborative robots are an aspect and a window of intelligent manufacturing in China, and the emergence of this large order is a landmark event, which has given a boost to the collaborative robot industry and greatly boosted market expectations. The real order data prove that the cooperative robot is a huge market no less than the traditional industrial robot. Elliot robot has taken the first step to expand the cooperative robot market space, and it is believed that it will play a huge traction potential energy. lead the whole industry to a new height.
