Three of the most powerful billionaire giants in the Asian technology industry will join forces to build robots. Masayoshi Son's SoftBank, Ma's Alibaba Group Holdings and Guo Taiming's Hon Hai Technology Group ("Foxconn") announced an agreement. Under the agreement, Alibaba and Foxconn will invest 14.5 billion yen in SoftBank RoboTIcs Holdings Corp., a robotics holding company of Softbank Group. Alibaba and Foxconn will each participate in 20% of the shares, and the remaining shares will be held by Softbank Robot Holdings. According to a statement, Alibaba and Foxconn will lead Softbank's Pepper robots and other robotics businesses to the global market, and cooperate to promote and expand the robot industry on a global scale. “As we enter the era of data technology, robots will become a key area to catalyze technological breakthroughs in various fields such as healthcare, public services, research and home.†Ma Yun (a 32% stake in Alibaba Group is held by Softbank) "Our partnership with Softbank and Foxconn unites the best hardware and software talent in the industry, paving the way for robotics." With this investment in the robot business, Alibaba has expanded its business into a new field. In addition to e-commerce, he also invests in various business areas such as entertainment, media, financial services and healthcare. Guo Taiming, founder of Apple's big supplier Foxconn, said the investment is a key step in the smart manufacturing process. "Foxconn is very happy to work with Softbank and Alibaba as part of our efforts to advance robotics. This is a strategic focus of the company as we continue to advance smart manufacturing capabilities and realize the vision of Industry 4.0." Chinese industrial robots are puffy? In the roar of the machine, a row of uniformed line workers repeated monotonous and boring movements. This is a common scene in Dongguan factory a few years ago. Today, this phenomenon is being changed. The main job of Tang Ping every day is to check the completion of the assembly line. Different from previous years, as the head of the technical department of Jiahui Plastic Hardware Co., Ltd., he does not need to pay attention to the sweaty little apprentices this year. Instead, there are more than one hundred robots that can work continuously for 24 hours without stopping. In recent years, "Dongguan enterprises went to Xinjiang to hire high-priced workers, Jiangsu and Zhejiang enterprises to recruit people from the west, Sichuan official organizations to return industrial workers" and other big-time dramas were staged, and cheap labor was exhausted. At the same time, labor costs, environmental protection and pressure, etc. also plague labor-intensive enterprises. Therefore, "machine substitution" is constantly mentioned by people. According to data released by the International Robotics Association, the sales volume of robots in China reached 36,500 units in 2013, a year-on-year increase of 41%, accounting for 20.5% of global sales. In 2014, the sales volume of industrial robots in China reached 57,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 55%. It accounts for a quarter of global sales and has become the world's largest robot market for two consecutive years. However, in the face of fast-growing market demand, China's industrial robot industry is “big but not strongâ€. According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2014, more than 70 listed companies have acquired or invested in robotics and intelligent automation projects, and the number of Chinese robot-related companies has exceeded 4,000. It is disappointing that at present, Chinese enterprises are mainly concentrated in the low-end and low-end, lacking core technology, and the scale of Jiucheng enterprises is below 100 million. It is reported that in 2013, 36,500 industrial robots were purchased and assembled in China, among which foreign-funded robots were mainly high-end industrial robots, which almost monopolized high-end industries such as automobile manufacturing and welding, accounting for 96%. The main application of domestic robots was The handling and loading and unloading robots are mainly in the low-end field of the industry. Lv Tie, director of the Industrial Development Research Office of the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, previously mentioned: "In the case of industrial robots, most of the core components of robots such as precision reducers, controllers, servo systems and high-performance drives are relied on. Imports, and these parts account for more than 70% of the overall production cost. Among them, 75% of the precision reducer is monopolized by Japan, domestic high-priced purchases account for 45% of production costs, while in Japan only 25%, China's procurement core The cost of parts and components is already higher than the overall price of the same robots in foreign countries, and it is impossible to compete with foreign brands in the high-end robot market." Affected by this, the “four major families†of the robot industry (ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa and KUKA) account for more than 50% of the domestic robot market share. Industry authorities are aware of the above issues. Earlier, the official proposed to cultivate 3 to 5 internationally competitive leading enterprises and 8 to 10 supporting industrial clusters by 2020; the market share of high-end products will increase to over 45%; robot density (number of robots used per 10,000 employees) To reach more than 100, the world average of this number is 58, and China is less than 30.
