In 2023, Chinese cooperative robot market will maintain a strong momentum of development, and flexibility, high load, full scene, and customer co creation will become a strong demand for industrial development.
The cooperative robot market will maintain a strong momentum of development:
According to the data of ABIResearch, the global cooperative robot market is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 32.5% from 2020 to 2030, and the market size is expected to increase to 8 billion dollars by 2030.
Behind the huge demand for robots is not only the ultimate requirement of the market for efficiency, but also the labor shortage problem faced by the global manufacturing industry. China is no exception. The difficulty of recruitment is first reflected in the general jobs, because the low paid repetitive work lacks sense of achievement and attraction for young people.
By using a safe, flexible and convenient cooperative robot to replace tedious, dangerous, repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, workers can focus on more valuable work and improve their satisfaction and sense of achievement while improving production efficiency. With the continuous acceleration of digital transformation and high labor costs, it is expected that the Chinese and global cooperative robot market will continue to present a blue ocean and maintain a strong momentum of development in 2023.
Agile response to the changing needs of flexible manufacturing:
The repeated outbreaks have continued to impact the global supply chain, and the importance of manufacturing supply chain resilience has been magnified again. In a highly uncertain environment, global manufacturing enterprises urgently need to improve the flexibility of production and lean management through digital and automatic means to achieve agile production.
In addition to the global macro environment, the rapid changes in terminal consumer demand in the digital era also pose another pressure on enterprise production, forcing enterprises to "determine production based on demand" and respond to market demand quickly. The traditional human resource model cannot adapt to the fast pace of flexible production, and enterprises must carry out all-round automation upgrading of factory systems. In the process of enterprises embracing automation, traditional industrial robots have limited their application scenarios due to their lack of flexibility and difficulty in deployment. In order to better adapt to the requirements of flexible, fast and secure deployment, more and more enterprises have turned their attention to cooperative robots.
In 2023, the industry will continue to put forward high flexibility requirements for automation means, so as to respond to the ever-changing needs of flexible manufacturing. Different from traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots can interact with employees directly and closely, matching existing work units and workstations, without additional safety barriers or changing the existing plant layout.
The installation and operation of the cooperative robot is also very convenient. It can be flexibly and quickly redeployed and task switched in multiple production line processes. Even operators without programming experience can quickly set and operate through an intuitive and convenient interface with little training.
The load and arm length of cooperative robot break new heights:
In the past, cooperative robots were mainly used by customers to handle tasks with low load requirements because of their flexible and lightweight characteristics. But in recent years, more and more enterprises hope to use cooperative robots to replace the tasks operated by traditional industrial robots in higher load fields.
The cooperative robots with higher load and longer arm length will be able to provide targeted solutions for enterprises in a richer scene in 2023.
