According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the output of domestic industrial robots increased by 57.4% year-on-year in August; From January to August, the output of domestic industrial robots increased by 63.9% year-on-year.

——Behind the "63.9%" is the continuous recovery of the application end of the downstream manufacturing industry.

"As an important project of fixed asset investment, the industrial robot industry is a barometer of the operation of China's manufacturing industry," said Zuo Shiquan, director of the policy planning department of the equipment industry development center of the Ministry of industry and information technology. In the first August, the production and sales of China's new energy vehicles increased by 1.9 times year-on-year, and the production of photovoltaic cells and lithium-ion batteries increased by 48.1% and 38.7% respectively. The application prospect of downstream manufacturing industry rebounded, driving the industrial robot industry to regain its growth momentum.

——Behind the "63.9%" is the acceleration of the digital and intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing enterprises.

In Shenzhen Xinwangda battery pack automatic production line, nearly 800 actions covering all processes such as cell turnover, robot stacking and air tightness test have been established through digital twin technology and connected through the industrial Internet platform. "The digital twin production line organically integrates industrial robots with the industrial Internet. Through comprehensive and real-time data acquisition, analysis and decision-making, the quality defects of battery packs will be easy to be found," said long xiaoang, general manager of Hualong Xunda.

"China's manufacturing industry is showing a good momentum of high-end, intelligent and green development." Zuo Shiquan introduced that automation applications represented by intelligent factories began to expand from automobile and 3C electronics to metal processing, chemical industry, food manufacturing and other fields. The use density of industrial robots also increased from 75 sets / 10000 people in 2016 to 113 sets / 10000 people in 2019, This figure will continue to rise this year.

——Behind the "63.9%", the innovation and development of China's industrial robot industry has entered the fast lane.

Servo press fitting in the shell, automatic nail feeding and tightening, robot vision guided automatic assembly, 3D vision detection... In just 6 minutes, a high-end longitudinal automatic transmission mounted on Hongqi H9 car slowly drove down the dct400 gearbox production line of FAW shaft tooth center. "Xinsong robot cooperates with FAW Group to innovate and break through a number of technical difficulties, realize the flexibility, automation and intelligence of the production line, and ensure the product assembly accuracy," said Qin Jian, project leader from Xinsong company.

Harmonic reducer, self-developed controller, domestic intelligent control and application system... A number of the latest achievements of strong chain and complementary chain appeared at the 2021 world robot conference. "In recent years, the performance and quality of China's industrial robots have made great progress, some problems in the field of key parts have been alleviated, the application level and scope of system integration have been further deepened and expanded, and the product supply capacity has been rapidly improved." Song Xiaogang, executive vice president of the robot branch of China Machinery Industry Federation, predicts that the annual output growth of industrial robots will exceed 30%.
