Manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy and the lifeline of the national economy.
In the past ten years, the scale and strength of my country’s manufacturing industry has been significantly enhanced, the advanced manufacturing industry has developed rapidly, and a number of globally competitive industrial clusters have been formed at a faster pace, promoting the continuous improvement of the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain. my country is accelerating its transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.
Reporter Ning Kun: This is the production and debugging workshop of an industrial robot system in Yizhuang, Beijing. The working robotic arms behind me form an intelligent production demonstration line for new energy battery boxes. From the handling and grasping of products, to welding, grinding, gluing, etc., all processes are completed by robots in sequence, and the whole process is automated. The current boom in the new energy vehicle industry has also brought about a rapid growth in the market demand for such robots.
Cao Li, deputy general manager of Yaskawa Shougang Robot Co., Ltd.: (Domestic manufacturing) automation is improving, so the demand for our industrial robots is also increasing. Four or five years ago, our annual sales (robot business in the field of new energy) might have been several million, but this year we have definitely exceeded 100 million.
The manufacturing industry is fully upgraded, and the demand for industrial robots is growing rapidly
In the past ten years, with the widespread application of robots in the manufacturing industry, the scale of my country’s industrial robot industry has grown rapidly. In 2021, the output of industrial robots in my country will reach 366,000 units, an increase of 10 times compared with 2015, and the market scale will rank first in the world.
Behind this is a series of breakthroughs in core technologies.
The core technology continues to break through the robot industry to accelerate the agglomeration
The reducer is one of the three core components of industrial robots. The manufacturing process is extremely demanding, and the precision error of the parts must be stably controlled at the micron level. The long-term dependence on imports of this important component is rapidly changing.
Zhang Yueming, chief scientist of Beijing Zhitong Precision Transmission Technology Co., Ltd.: We achieved such a breakthrough at the end of last year. (This reducer) It is mainly used for robots with large loads, such as 180 kg and 210 kg (loaded robots), which all use this type of reducer.
Today, in Yizhuang, Beijing, the industrial robot industry is gathering at an accelerated pace, and many upstream and downstream companies are less than 5 kilometers away from each other. In an increasingly complete industrial cluster, demand stimulates innovation, and supporting support and coordinated development also enhance the competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain.
Gao Shaolong, CEO of Beijing Soft Robot Technology Co., Ltd.: It is very good to be able to feel the synergy between upstream and downstream. The efficiency of joint research and development will be improved, the cost will be reduced together, and the reliability and stability will be greatly improved.
Equipment manufacturing industry is advancing by leaps and bounds, high-level support for the industrial chain and supply chain
In the past ten years, my country’s high-end equipment manufacturing industry has also made rapid progress. Large-scale shield machines travel through mountains and mountains, becoming a powerful tool for building subways, highways and tunnels, occupying two-thirds of the global market share; the “Fuxing” high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour has become a shining business card made in China.
Zhu Yan, deputy chief designer of the Fuxing CR400BF series EMU of CRRC Changke Co., Ltd.: my country has established 3 rail transit industry clusters with a value of 100 billion, and also has the world’s largest rail transit industry cluster. High-speed rail manufacturing involves metallurgy, polymer materials, synthetic materials, as well as precision instruments, machinery, electric power and other industrial chains. Behind this is the fact that the manufacturing capacity of the entire equipment industry and the level of the industrial supply chain have reached a new height.
In the first half of the year, the output value of 25 advanced manufacturing clusters exceeded 6 trillion yuan
In Jiangsu, the Wuxi IoT cluster has gathered more than 3,000 upstream and downstream enterprises, with an output value of more than 300 billion yuan. In Guangdong, a new generation of information and communication clusters has formed the world’s most complete and fastest-response electronic information industry chain. At the national level, in 2021, the state will focus on cultivating 25 advanced manufacturing clusters such as the new generation of information and communication, the Internet of Things, and advanced battery materials, which will gather thousands of “specialized, special and new” enterprises and nearly half of the country’s national manufacturing innovations. Center, the output value of leading industries is nearly 10 trillion yuan. In the first half of this year, this figure has exceeded 6 trillion yuan.
Cheng Nan, director of the Planning and Research Institute of China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute: Cultivating a group of advanced manufacturing clusters with world-class influence is an important symbol of building a strong manufacturing country. The advanced manufacturing cluster will play a more active role in stabilizing the supply chain of the industrial chain, enhancing the competitiveness of the industry, and promoting my country’s manufacturing industry to move towards the middle and high end of the value chain.
Towards the mid-to-high end, the added value of my country’s manufacturing industry accounts for nearly 30% of the world’s
In the past ten years, the added value of my country’s manufacturing industry has increased from 16.98 trillion yuan to 31.4 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly 30% of the global proportion, ranking first in the world. Among the 500 major industrial products, the output of more than 40% of my country’s products ranks first in the world, and the comprehensive strength of the manufacturing industry has been greatly improved.
