In recent years, rising labor costs, forcing many enterprises in Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta area, in order to maintain profits, they will have to move to lower labor cost in manufacturing sectors in the Midwest, Southeast Asian countries China, even moved to low labor cost to be low in African countries. Once the world factory is facing a difficult transition. However, the economy and the process of branding for most ordinary manufacturing enterprises. "Made in China" will go from here?

At the same time, there is another revolution in the manufacturing industry in the world, the same as the migration, but it is contrary to the migration direction. The combination of artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital manufacturing will lead to a revolution in manufacturing. It allows entrepreneurs to set up factories in the country, the production of a variety of products, re manufacturing leadership.

The industrial robot is a mechanical, electronic, control, computers, sensors, artificial intelligence and other advanced technology in one of the modern intelligent equipment manufacturing industry, will become the irreplaceable high-tech and high efficiency equipment. Over the past decade, the rapid expansion of the global demand for industrial robots. It is expected that by 2025, 5%-15% manufacturing workers will be replaced by industrial robots, the global installed capacity of an average annual growth rate of 25%-30%, higher than the growth rate over the past 20 years, but lower than in 2011 and the growth rate in 2012.

Data show that China's rapid growth in the demand for industrial robots, 2008-2012 years, the average annual installed capacity of industrial robots in China about 15000 units, even in the global economic downturn in 2009, sales are also contrarian growth. The 2010 installation capacity of 14978 units, 22027 units in 2011, 2012 24800, 2013 27000, 2014 Chinese forecast industrial robot market total sales of nearly 37000 units, becoming the world's largest country demand for industrial robots.

Robot industry is not a general industry, with the development prospects beyond imagination. People in the production line for the machine service, work fast, harsh environment. But industrial robots can liberate people from this state, people can engage in more advanced work. For example application case as the first brand, manufacturing automation and industrial robot system integrators Guangdong Rio star received the best proof: "through the central feeding system, manipulator, is widely used in injection molding industry, the realization of" no chemical "and" no light workshop ", the eventual realization of a robot oriented manufacturing model. Although this will reduce the number of traditional jobs, but the new intelligent manufacturing model will produce a lot of new jobs. China is now a structural shortage of labor, migrant workers shortage, a shortage of skilled workers, manufacturing costs rose sharply. Industrial robot is a powerful technical means to achieve the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry.

The country is a new round of revolution of science and technology, science and technology as the core of national development strategy, introduced a series of innovative strategies and action plans to increase investment in science and technology innovation, strengthen the important layout in the field of new energy, new materials, information network, industrial robots, bio medicine, energy saving and environmental protection, low-carbon technology and green economy. To maintain the leading position of Frontier Science and technology, to seize the commanding heights of development in the future. Among them, the industrial robot industry is a fast-growing emerging industries, will be the future production and social development plays an increasingly important role.

China is a populous country, and the use of robots to replace the traditional labor force, from the surface will produce new contradictions. In this regard, can not be simply interpreted as the robot grab rice bowl, but must dialectically look. First of all, the traditional labor-intensive manufacturing advantage is no longer, machine substitutions will become an important direction of future manufacturing innovation and trends. Secondly, the transfer mode, adjusting structure itself requires the development of human resources to comply with the needs of industrial upgrading, and if the lack of vision of development of a cheap labor in China in the past to the old thinking, whether it is business or individual will face the risk of being eliminated.

Vigorously develop the robotics industry also has practical significance. With the accelerated pace of China's aging population, rising labor costs gradually reduce China's demographic dividend under the background of integration of robot technology and traditional manufacturing depth, bring new opportunities for the innovation of traditional industry products and technology. From the international experience, the mechanization, automation and intelligent equipment to promote the large-scale popularization of enterprise production efficiency, is a significant change in the process of economic restructuring of the industrial structure. For the traditional manufacturing industry in China, grab the robot bonus, as a way to promote the development of industrial upgrading, the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry is crucial.
