When Chinese companies are still on the move, foreign companies quickly cut off the seductive cake of robots with their own advantages.
At present, ABB in Switzerland, FANUC in Japan, Yaskawa Electric in Japan, and KUKA robots in Germany are called “four big families†in the field of robots. These giants occupy more than 70% market share in the Chinese robot industry and almost monopolize robot manufacturing. High-end fields such as welding.
It is understood that in the Chinese robot market, ABB China has continued to exert its strength, has launched 10 products, and recently signed a framework agreement with Zhongyeda (002441.SZ) to share the Chinese cake of Industry 4.0, the latter is Industrial A professional distributor of electrical products. “Now, more than 90% of robot models and more than 90% of robots sold in the Chinese market have achieved localized production,†said Li Gang, head of ABB Robotics China.
Japan’s Yaskawa Electric and the German KUKA robots have not stopped, and are further expanding their production capacity in China.
On January 15th, Xu Fang, dean of the Central Research Institute of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xinsongâ€), said in an interview with the “First Financial Daily†reporter that the Chinese robot market has been practical since around 2010. Starting, compared with Japan, the start-up has been slow for almost 30 years. In this case, China is still an incremental market. The international environment is a stock market. Almost all foreign robot companies are flooding into China.
"This is very unfavorable for China's robot industry, because these are giant companies, we are also 'small sailboats' here, even if the new start of the new pine, compared with foreign countries, it is not strong go with."
Xu Fang believes that the Chinese robot market has risen, but it has not given Chinese companies enough growth time.
According to data from the China Robotics Industry Alliance, the four Chinese robot manufacturers such as Xinsong and Guangzhou NC only occupy 5% of the Chinese market, which is far from the performance of foreign giants in the Chinese market.
“Our seminars have been opened a lot, but it is equivalent to advertising to others. The 'four big families' have been screaming and making big money. How many markets does the real domestic enterprise account for? There is no market, no matter the capacity, application experience or brand. Popularity." Xu Fang said.
Su Chongde, who once communicated with Yaskawa Electric, told this reporter that "China's four major robot manufacturers in the eyes of Anchuan, like Xinsong is a system integrator, Guangzhou CNC is better, but there is still a gap of about five years."
Su Chongde once brought the six-axis parallel robot to the exhibition, which attracted more than 20 orders at a time, but the other boss thought that one year can recover the cost and it will be done immediately. I want to make a decision. If it is three years, I will say hello directly. “The result is that the order has been completely ruined. Because of the lack of application engineering design, there is no technical reserve for the production line in China.â€
Now, Su Chongde, who has just retired for a long time, has already started to develop the application field of robot technology, hoping to make a breakthrough in this field.
Feng Jinzhong, general manager of China Transmission Network, said that the competition of industrial robots mainly focuses on three aspects of integrated application, mainframe cost and reliability. The technology of foreign-funded manufacturers keeps leading and large-scale production has always maintained absolute cost advantage. At this stage, domestic robots mainly The technical bottleneck is the gap between the core technology and the major international competitors. If the core technology is solved through import, the inevitable result is the rising cost and ultimately the lack of competitiveness of its products.
Taking Xinsong as an example, according to Xu Fang’s introduction, the gap between the company and foreign countries is still too small. There are basically 200,000 robot applications in the foreign four giants, and Xinsong Automation has less than 10,000 applications for so many years. "Now from the test of performance indicators, for example, we can achieve 20,000 hours, foreign indicators can achieve 50,000 to 80,000 hours, this gap must be increased by increasing production, it is possible to eliminate."
Manager Song, who works for a foreign robot company, believes that the requirements of foreign companies are very simple, that is, the system does not have an accident, or a problem can be solved immediately. But these companies may not give Chinese companies the chance to try their mistakes.
The current Chinese market is not tolerant of domestic brands, but it is even more magnified.
"The big foreign manufacturers generally have no problem. Even if it is wrong, you will think that it is not good for you. If it is a domestic enterprise, it will not be your own thing," the manager said.
For example, the gap between domestic and foreign is reflected in the details. For example, if you use Siemens' drive, it will fail. Its specification book will definitely let you find a reason why you are wrong, because its front 30 pages are all attention. The matter, while the domestic product manual is very thin, it is easy to get passive after the problem.
