After the two sessions, deepening industrial reform and promoting the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry became a hot topic in the industrial field. Nowadays, the labor cost in the manufacturing industry has become the largest cost expenditure, and even so, the labor shortage in the industry still appears frequently. How to solve this problem, we all knew for a long time: to take the road of intelligent development, automatic machine production. 
After decades of development, China's equipment manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable results. Chinese companies represented by Zoomlion, Sany, XCMG, and Weichai have set off an upsurge in overseas M&A, leading the overall upgrade of China's equipment manufacturing technology market. However, on the whole, China's equipment manufacturing industry is large but not strong. Along with this, the focus of the middle and low-end product processing and manufacturing industries has accelerated to transfer to developing countries such as Southeast Asia. The "reindustrialization" strategy of Western developed countries has caused a wave of high-end manufacturing companies to "backflow", and China's equipment manufacturing industry is facing challenges in its global status.
How to achieve intelligence? Right now in the equipment manufacturing industry is nothing more than two roads: product intelligence and production process intelligence.
Smart try
When it comes to machine intelligence, many people's first reaction is often automation, that is, to get rid of artificial control, to achieve automatic mechanical control, such as automatic driving. The construction machinery industry tests water for automatic driving, and the earliest entry area is the mine card. In the late 1980s, Caterpillar began to develop self-driving self-dumping mining trucks. By 1996, its automated 777D mining dump truck was officially launched and gradually entered the market.
With the continuous advancement of technology, the cost-effectiveness of industrial robots is approaching inflection point and acceptance is increasing. Under the influence of these two factors, industrial robots have formed a trend of artificial substitution in many fields, and this trend may also apply in the construction machinery industry.
The benefits of the introduction of industrial robots are obvious, and benefitting manufacturing companies have stated: “The efficiency of a welding robot is roughly equivalent to four or five welders, plus it is easy to regulate and manage, and it can further enhance the efficiency of the entire production system, but also does not need to consider What are the costs of pensions, unemployment, medical care, insurance, work-related injuries, public holidays and overtime pay?â€
According to the statistics of the International Robot Federation (IFR), the average annual sales growth rate of global industrial robots was 9% from 2005 to 2012, and the average annual sales growth rate of Chinese industrial robots reached 25% during the same period; China will become the largest robot in the world in 2014. Market; By 2015, China's domestic industrial robots will supply more than 20,000 units a year, and the number of possessions will exceed 130,000. Therefore, under the trend of the times, the manufacturing robots of construction machinery companies have introduced industrial robots, or they will soon become irresistible.
The long road to development
In response to the situation, China's construction machinery companies are in urgent need of continuous exploration on the road to high-end transformation and upgrading, and actively promote intelligent development, but this process is doomed to be a difficult journey.
“At present, the vertical development of China's equipment manufacturing industry chain is very uneven, and large differences between large and small enterprises have constrained the development of the industry to high-end.†Zhan Chunxin, chairman of the National People’s Congress and Zoomlion, said that China has three companies in the world The top ten construction machinery industry, but the supporting is still provided by thousands of small and medium enterprises, the overall level is not high, and the core parts and components technology is mostly in the hands of foreign companies.
China's construction machinery companies must really develop competitive products and push them to the market. They also need to improve. In particular, they must vigorously strengthen the development capabilities of key core components. The components and products required for high-end production in China's manufacturing industry are dependent on imports. Domestic production is still dominated by medium and low-end products, and the demand for high-end smart equipment is limited, which slows down the development of smart manufacturing to some extent. China's equipment manufacturing industry needs to be intelligent and intelligent, and we must continue to search for it.
