Abstract: [The robot industry has established two major policies to achieve sales of over 50 billion yuan in 2020.] The "Economic Information Daily" reporter recently learned from several authoritative sources that in order to promote the healthy development of China's robot industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will successively introduce a series of Follow-up industry development promotion measures. According to the work and deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the next phase of relevant industry promotion policies will address two key issues: first, to promote the development of the robot industry towards high-end, and second, to regulate market order and prevent the disorderly development of the robot industry.

  The "Economic Information Daily" reporter recently learned from a number of authoritative sources that in order to promote the healthy development of China's robot industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ministries and commissions will successively introduce a series of follow-up industrial development promotion measures. According to the work and deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the next phase of relevant industry promotion policies will address two key issues: first, to promote the development of the robot industry towards high-end, and second, to regulate market order and prevent the disorderly development of the robot industry.

On April 6, 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Robot Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)", which made overall plans for the development of the robot industry during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period in China, and required the formation of China in five years. Perfect robot industry system. According to Xin Guobin, deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the development of China's robot industry is good. In 2016, the output of industrial robots reached 72,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 34.3%. At the same time, there are more than 800 robot companies, and related robot products and services have been applied in the fields of machinery, electronics, chemicals, light industry, shipbuilding, mining, medical surgery, rehabilitation, catering, consumption, fire protection, and public services.

According to reports, in order to further promote the healthy development of the robot industry, future measures will focus on two key points. The first is to push the robot industry to the middle and high end. To this end, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will take the lead in further integrating the industry's innovative resources, promoting the establishment of robot innovation centers and enhancing industrial innovation capabilities; focusing on supporting the improvement of the quality and reliability of key components in the robot industry, further consolidating the foundation of industrial development; And promote the application. Promote the application of robots in emerging industries and traditional manufacturing industries; further implement the guidelines for manufacturing talent development planning, and increase the training of robot professionals.

Secondly, in terms of the disorderly development of the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that it is necessary to strengthen the role of planning and guidance, further strengthen scientific development and rational development; formulate management measures for the implementation of industrial robots as soon as possible, further improve the threshold for entry and standardize the market competition order; The organization of the robot industry will establish industry rules that are conducive to R&D, innovation and fair competition, strengthen industry self-discipline, speed up the testing and certification platform, do a good job in the revision and revision of industry standards, and further promote the improvement of the certification and evaluation system for robots and key components.

The "Economic Information Daily" reporter also learned from the National Manufacturing Powerful Country Construction Strategy Advisory Committee that in order to promote the healthy development of the robot industry, China will launch four major application demonstration projects in the next stage, including: research and application of key parts and components of robots, and industrial Robot core technology research and application demonstration engineering, service robot technology research and demonstration engineering, and robot talent training demonstration project.

According to the National Manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee, by 2020, China's industrial robot sales will exceed 150,000 units, with a holding capacity of 800,000 units. By then, the new generation of robot information technology will make breakthroughs, and it is expected to cultivate two or three industry leading enterprises with an annual output of more than 10,000 units, an industry scale of more than 10 billion yuan, and international competitiveness, and create 5 to 8 robot supporting industries. Cluster.

A number of industry professionals told the "Economic Information Daily" reporter that the current market price of major industrial robot products is between 150,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan, and the market price of some high-end industrial robots will reach the million yuan level. If calculated at 200,000 yuan per unit, it is estimated that by 2020, the total sales of industrial robots in China will reach 45 billion yuan. Together with other service robots, the sales of the entire robot industry is expected to exceed 50 billion yuan.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, more than 20 provinces and cities in China have cultivated and promoted robots as key industries. In recent years, the robot industry has developed rapidly. There are more than 40 robotic industrial parks built and under construction in the country. In a short period of time, the number of robot companies in the country has exceeded 800, laying a certain foundation for future industrial development.

However, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also stressed that there are still problems in the robot industry in China. Miao Wei and Vice Minister Xin Guobin of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out many times that in terms of independent brands and key technologies, most of China's robots, especially industrial robots, are low-end and mid-range products. The supply capacity of multi-joint robots with more than 6 axes is relatively high. low. Therefore, the robot industry risks the low-end of high-end industries and overcapacity of low-end products.

In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is now strengthening communication and exchanges with various provinces and cities, including the Robotics Industry Alliance. According to the overall deployment and requirements of “Made in China 2025”, a differentiated implementation guideline for provinces and cities has been formulated. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is stepping up the development of industrial robots' access conditions, hoping to promote the scientific, rational and healthy development of the robot industry with a series of policies and measures to improve the industry's entry barriers.
