At present, the robot industry is moving towards the middle and high end. The average annual compound growth rate of the robot industry is about 15%. The application field of industrial robots has covered 52 industry categories, and the operating income of the robot industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan.
In the past five years, the number of robot-related companies has increased significantly. In 2015, there were 13,632 robot-related companies, more than 20,000 in 2016, and 43,352 in 2019. Up to now, there are 212,600 robot-related enterprises in operation and existing in the country. From a geographical point of view, robot companies are mainly concentrated in the five major regions of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Shanghai. Among them, Guangdong accounts for a quarter of the national robot enterprises, which can be called the "important town" of Chinese robot enterprises.
How to achieve overtaking in the manufacturing industry? The transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing to realize intelligence and service, and entering the field of robotics is undoubtedly a key choice.
Among the five common application areas of industrial robots, handling is still the largest application area of robots, accounting for 38% of the overall application of robots, followed by welding robots (29%) and assembly robots (10%). In the field of handling robots and welding robots, Jining has many industry leaders.
With the combination of AGV local edge computing and server cloud, taking advantage of the gradual improvement of the 5G network, and taking heavy-duty AGV as the product base, it solves the limitations of commercial robots in the industrial environment.
Shandong Shuibo Welding and Cutting Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a specialized and new "little giant" enterprise in our province. The company's special-purpose vehicle rail welding intelligent production line has ranked first in the market. Use the binocular camera to scan to obtain data and send it to the computer.

As a company specializing in the R&D, manufacturing and sales of special-purpose vehicle welding equipment, the research and development of new products closely focuses on the needs of special-purpose vehicle customers and provides intelligent solutions.
Not only on land, but also in the sky, robots also have a "useful place". Shandong Dingfeng Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. settled in Jining in June 2020. The company's parent company, Fengfei Group, as a global leader in the research and development and manufacture of vertical take-off and landing aircraft, is committed to providing the society with a safe and reliable air logistics operation system and aerial three-dimensional travel solution. Relying on cutting-edge technologies such as aviation technology, new materials, artificial intelligence, and 5G, it has built an industrialized production base for fire emergency flying robots that integrates R&D, production, sales and service. International leadership.
In the past, relying on nearby coal mining enterprises, Jining Zoucheng developed an electromechanical industrial park featuring mining equipment, where one-stop shopping for mining equipment can be realized. However, with the rise of Industry 4.0 and the intelligent era of the Internet of Everything, the electromechanical industrial park is facing a severe situation of transformation and upgrading.
In order to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry, Jining chooses both internal education and external introduction. On the one hand, based on its own industrial foundation, it promotes the rapid transformation of the electromechanical industrial park into a robot manufacturing base, so as to make "old trees sprout new shoots" and cultivate traditional enterprises to grow into technology " little Giant".
In February 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Energy Administration, the Ministry of Emergency Response, the Coal Supervision Bureau, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Intelligent Development of Coal Mines", which for the first time proposed 3 guidelines for intelligent development. A staged goal, and 10 main tasks are clearly defined. As a result, the coal industry presses the acceleration button of intelligent development and starts the first year of intelligence.
As a pathfinder, Shandong Tianhe Technology Co., Ltd. located in Zoucheng tasted the sweetness. As an old-fashioned enterprise of traditional coal mining equipment manufacturer, in order to realize product transformation, the company increased investment in research and development, cooperated with German DHMS, and successfully developed N series bolter in combination with China's mine geological environment, filling the domestic technical gap, and was recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology as a International leading level. "Last year, we cooperated with China University of Mining and Technology and Xi'an University of Science and Technology to develop the ZYWL-4000Y anti-collision drilling robot, which can realize unmanned operation of drilling equipment in impact-hazardous areas and real-time assessment of impact risk, effectively solving the problem of man-machine separation and Improve the efficiency of drilling rigs and other issues.” Tian Shengli, chairman of Shandong Tianhe Technology Co., Ltd., said that although the company’s share of the whole machine in China is not high, it occupies more than 90% of the domestic market in terms of drilling anchor technology in sub-sectors.
On the other hand, Jining continues to attract high-end enterprises and promotes "new trees to take deep roots". It has successively introduced robot companies such as Luoshi Robot, Sibu Technology, and Bukesi, and established the National University Robot Competition Entrepreneurship Incubation Park and Jining Robot. Industrial Park. Wang Shuang, deputy general manager of Luoshi (Shandong) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., said that with the rapid increase in the application scenarios of industrial robots, the industry used to hope to achieve "machine replacement", but now it emphasizes "human-machine collaboration" and "human-machine dance". . As the second company in the world and the first company in China to break through the flexible robot technology, Luoshi has become the explorer and pioneer of this new track. In 2017, Luoshi (Shandong) Branch was put into production in Zoucheng. Its self-developed XB series industrial robot products cover auto parts, 3C electronics, hardware scissors, automatic sewing, medical and other industries. Its industrial control system, cutting tool Subdivided fields such as grinding and sewing have filled the domestic gap. So far, Luoshi (Shandong) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has obtained more than 100 R&D patents and technology awards at home and abroad, and its comprehensive performance is at the international leading level.

New products, promote the standardization and modular development of robots, and expand market applications. Break through the technical bottleneck of key components such as robot body, reducer, servo motor, controller, sensor and driver, and system integration design and manufacturing. "Made in China 2025" Shandong Province Action Outline proposes to develop various industrial robots and control systems, servo motors, precision reducers around the needs of industries such as automobiles, electronics, machinery, chemicals, light industry, housekeeping, medical care, and commerce. , high-end sensors, end effectors and other core components.
"China is the country with the largest demand for industrial robots in the world. In recent years, this industry has received more and more attention. We also want to use our own efforts to not only realize our self-worth, but also create a force for Jining Technology. Wang Shuang said that in recent years, the development environment of Jining's industry has been getting better and better, which makes them very confident in the future development.
Behind the booming AI industry, companies are not fighting alone. Zoucheng Robot Industrial Park, as one of the main battlefields for the development of the robot industry in Jining, relies on the Zhengfang intelligent robot management and operation platform to integrate the two supporting platforms of the National Robot Inspection and Testing Center and the Shandong Intelligent Robot Application Technology Research Institute, as well as policies, talents, Platform resources such as finance, public services, and application promotion can provide accurate public services for innovative teams and enterprises entering the park, and continue to cultivate the "fertile soil" for the development of the robot industry.
"China is the country with the most complete industrial categories in the world. With the continuous penetration of artificial intelligence into all walks of life, it will support the continuous recovery of the demand for industrial robots." Jining Deputy Director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Office of the Construction Headquarters of the City's Strong Manufacturing City Deputy Director Li Jialiang said that robots are changing the production methods of all walks of life and promoting the transformation and transformation of traditional manufacturing industries. However, compared with Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Liaoning and Shandong, there is still a big gap between the robotics industry in Jining.
According to the research report of the Prospective Research Institute, the robot industry in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is currently the strongest, and it is at the forefront of the country in terms of industrial chain construction, market demand, and innovative resource layout. . At the same time, the strength of the robotics industry in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Northeast China and other places should not be underestimated. In contrast, Jining's robot industry is generally rich in variety, but it is small in scale, incomplete in supporting facilities, and the agglomeration effect is still being cultivated.
Talent is also one of the constraints. The "White Paper on the Integrated Development of Artificial Intelligence and Manufacturing Industry 2020" released by the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center pointed out that there is a shortage of 300,000 artificial intelligence talents. The data shows that Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou gather more than 80% of the country's artificial intelligence talents. In contrast, the inland areas are relatively scarce, especially high-end technical talents.
