How is the development of industrial automation system integration? Where is it going?

First, industrial robot automation system integration industrial scale

In the field of industrial robots, 80% of the domestic robot companies are concentrated in the field of system integration, system integrators mainly around industrial robots to do the whole line integration, robot equipment and electrical components and other prices are falling year by year.

Under the stimulus of government subsidy policies, the industrial robot application market has expanded rapidly. Automotive manufacturing industry is the largest robot application volume industry, with the slowdown of the automotive industry, stamping, welding, painting, and other system integration applications are gradually popular, automotive integrated systems have gradually moved to the Red Sea market. However, the system integration market in 3C, logistics automation and other fields is still a blue ocean.

Industrial automation system integration is the development direction of domestic industrial automation. The state attaches great importance to the development of the robot industry and provides policy and financial support for the robot industry in many aspects, but the application of robots cannot be separated from system integration enterprises. The research and development of application integrated system is the link with the highest profit and the highest technical threshold in the robot industry chain.

Based on spare parts and industrial robots, the integrated system is one of the main ways for enterprises to improve production efficiency, increase production profits and reduce costs in the future. Under normal circumstances, the system integration market size can reach three times the size of the robot body market, according to the forecast of the CIC consulting Industry Research Center, the robot body market size can reach about 27.6 billion in 2020, the integrated system market size is expected to be close to 83 billion yuan, and the average annual growth rate can reach 20% in the next five years.

Second, industrial robot system integration industry development status

As the main force in China's robot market, robot system integrators are generally small in scale, low in annual output value, and face strong competitive pressure. According to GGII data show that as of September 2014, there are 428 robot-related enterprises in China, of which system integrators account for 88%, and from the relevant market data point of view, the scale of domestic integrators at this stage is not large, sales revenue below 100 million enterprises account for most, sales can do more than 500 million is already the industry leader. There are only a handful of companies with sales of more than one billion in the country.

General industry refers to the non-automotive industry. At present, the degree of automation in the automotive industry is relatively high, and the supplier system is relatively stable. The general industrial automation transformation demand is relatively strong. Global industrial robot integration from the perspective of application, "handling" accounts for the highest proportion. Half of global industrial robot sales are for handling applications. Handling applications can also be divided into picking boxes, injection parts, machine tool loading and unloading according to different application scenarios. According to the application, the top three applications are 50% handling, 28% welding, and 9% assembly.

Third, industrial automation system integration advantages

1. Advanced technology

All the technologies included in the automation system integration are relatively advanced, such as wireless network, control software, fieldbus, and so on. The more advanced the technology, the more valuable the role, if the technology is not advanced or imperfect, it will not be widely used in industrial production. Technology is the guarantee of industrial production, if the industry does not have technology, it is difficult for enterprises to develop, and the entire industry is difficult to move forward.

2. Improve the performance of industrial equipment

Automation system integrated control equipment operation, to ensure the standardization of equipment operation. In the industrial industry, equipment operation must be standardized, otherwise it will affect the development of the industry, so automation technology plays an important role, which greatly improves the efficiency and safety performance of equipment operation, and promotes the better development of enterprises.

Fourth, industrial automation system integration development direction

The future business direction of industrial automation system integration will be to build smart factories, system integration will better assist the development of industrial automation, from the existing automobile, parts manufacturing industry to other manufacturing industries to spread and develop in depth. The threshold of non-standard automation in manufacturing industry is higher than that of standard automation, and the technical advantages of system integration will be conducive to the development of its automation.
