The recent launch of China "China manufacturing 2025 program grants a lot of money, to assist the Chinese manufacturing industry to accelerate the development of industrial automation, tipping large intelligent automation (hereinafter referred to as intelligence action) and robot to build business opportunities; including abb, Siemens, Rockwell (Rockwell) and other international manufacturers, and many industrial industry in Taiwan who has been launched in attacking.

China intelligence automation (referred to as the smart move) market is a fever. The Chinese government this year put forward "China manufacturing 2025 plan", attract many international automation manufacturers have through merger and acquisition and joint venture enterprises in China attacking the business opportunities. Taiwanese companies in China investment scale, although relatively small, but the future is still through cooperation with Chinese manufacturers and through exchanges with the industry, strategic alliance and cross innovation in the field of three ways, grab the cornucopia.

Market prospect of Chinese intellectual beauty

ITRI produced a representation of the center of mechanical and manufacturing system research group of researchers Dai Yingmei (Figure 1), China 2013's manufacturing output is about 17570_yi billion, about accounted for the domestic value of 30%, obvious manufacturing industry with a certain importance. However, the country's manufacturing industry is still a problem to be overcome, such as the key technologies and high-end equipment to rely on imports, independent innovation ability is low, the integration of information and industrialization of low degree of integration of the two. In view of this, Chinese has proposed relevant policies, and resorted to "China 2025 plan" in May this year, to accelerate industrial restructuring.

This subsidy policy, the provinces of China is stepping up the pace of moving towards the wisdom of, such as Kunshan City and Dongguan City respectively grant funds to encourage enterprise development "to machine substitutions or promote the integration of the two, wisdom and upgrade manufacturing strength. Due to the market can be period, international manufacturers have through service sales, merger and acquisition (M & A) / joint ventures to expand the layout, whereby successful snatch this piece of pie dynamic on Chinese wisdom, such as Honeywell, abb, Rockwell, Siemens and OMRON all strengthen sales and service.

Also through acquisitions and joint venture to enhance combat capability, such as Rockwell and Kyushu Electric, wasion group, a joint venture of Siemens, Schneider and Lee Wah Fu and manufacturers.

In fact, nearly one or two years of international manufacturers to accelerate investment in China, some of the industry even China as Asia's hub.

Compared to wear to observe the Yingmei with international manufacturers, Taiwan factory although continued to invest in China, but business scale is relatively small, so Taiwan automation vendors can through mutual cooperation to strengthen the competitiveness of the Chinese market, in order to facilitate the future development.

Dai Yingmei to "intelligence" and "degree of control" two indicators (Table 1) analysis pointed out that if the process control level and low level of intelligence, can increase the opportunity to advance the Chinese market, but the degree of control is high, but the low level of intelligence, should use strategic alliances, with other manufacturers, if the two degree is high, you can consider cross domain innovation, enhance competitiveness. In addition, Taiwan factory some industry specialization, such as 3C industries (semiconductor, panel), traditional industry (home appliances, metal processing) cross-strait cooperation in intellectual dynamic aspects, more development opportunities.

China industrial robot's ecosystem in rapid prototyping

ITRI produced a representation of the mechanical and manufacturing systems research department researcher Huang Zhonghong (Figure 2). In recent years, China's artificial wage increases, and observe the country's manufacturing fixed asset investment statistics and PMI index, visible the manufacturing industry is getting worse and worse. In view of this, China's desire to by "made in China 2025 plan" to drive manufacturing industry and economic development, the robot is focused.

At the same time Chinese President Xi Jinping will robot hailed as is manufacturing industry on the crown of the Pearl, driven by many mainland companies with foreign manufacturers have been put into development.

Huang Zhonghong further explained that China's research and development robot strategy, mainly around the automotive, machinery, electronics and other industrial robots, special robots and service robots, and to promote the standardization of robots, modular development, to expand market applications.

Estimated 2015 and 2017, will the industrial robot market in China grow at a steady rate of more than 25%, in 2020 is expected to form a perfect system of industrial robot industry, and higher order local market products in the share will rise to more than 45%, Huang Zhonghong more bluntly, China South Locomotive, ZTE, Scbd manufacturing company in robot performance highly anticipated.

However, Huang Zhonghong also pointed out that in the policy driven, Chinese manufacturers compete to industrial robots, but also face the following challenges, such as the technical foundation is weak, can not be made the core components, be must break through the technical bottleneck; robot meager profits of enterprises, only in the low-end products of price competition; in the future if the lack of policy support, in the absence of the Austrian capital assistance, has invested enterprises robots could face bankruptcy or takeover.

Huang Zhonghong observation, future China will focus on the development of the domestic robot key components, such as light weight micro reducer, force feedback controller, Multi Tool coordination module, etc., and to strengthen the human machine cooperation, visual technology and human hand control, to enhance the robot's production value.

It is worth mentioning that the lack of a key component technology and focus on human machine cooperation, but also the challenges faced by the Taiwan industry in the field of robotics and is actively strengthening the direction. Huang Zhonghong believes that in addition to the development of Taiwan in the above two aspects, artificial intelligence (AI) and robot system platform is also worthy of attention in Taiwan.

It is understood that the eyes of artificial intelligence in the United States, Japan's development is more rapid, China is still lagging behind in this field, while the Taiwan school has a considerable number of artificial intelligence research, the future should be gradually industrialization and commercialization.

In addition, in the wisdom of the factory, there will be many robots and robotic arm, also need a robot system platform, to provide a common interface, so that the robot can communicate with each other. All of these will be Taiwan to compete for robot market opportunities

On the other hand, factory Chi moving to success, in addition to hardware (robot, equipment) reform, must make good use of the information collected by the hardware, thus combining manufacturing execution system (MES), massive data analysis and the technology of the Internet of things, to achieve the management wisdom, so that the robot can play a greater value.

Improve information Islands new tripod MES Power Smart factory

System business new tripod promising industrial intelligence market, through its MES to assist in the management of the wisdom of the plant. It can improve the capacity of the plant and increase the plant strain capacity by improving the information of the plant.

Xinding system of new ventures, director of the Cao Yongcheng (Figure 3) said, today's consumers like customized goods and also hope that the products inexpensive and fast time to market, the age and environmental factors on the original main output a large number of products factory undoubtedly forms challenge and pressure; on smart phones and social networking and networking with animal rise, and global excess capacity, demand to mitigate the influence, the factory is facing the complexity and the degree of competition or higher task.

In order to the consumer as the center of the production of the production, Cao Yongcheng believes that to promote the plant's wisdom, the traditional paper management practices have not applied. In view of this, the company through the MES to compile the mass data of the various departments and system, improve the past decentralized information isolated island, because of spurious information everywhere, not and other data compiled and unable to play the synergy, he bluntly, this is the problem of the development of smart factory, but also a business where.

Therefore, if the factory to wisdom action, must by the machine connection, data collection and networking technology, and through the system management, combined with the massive data analysis, in order to truly detect anomalies further wisdom management workshop.

Before and after the process of machine, for example, explain the Cao Yongcheng, hypothesis and system process machine the machine not matching, will dissolve machine, resulting in reduction in yield, however, to lock the fixed machine production to solve the error problems, although it can enhance the yield, but production will decline, and vice versa. In this dilemma, the best balance point of production capacity and yield can be obtained through MES, so as to achieve the intelligent management of the plant.

It is reported that at this stage the company because the system has characteristics of miniaturization and parity of, have to enter the chemistry and chemical industry, electronic industry, such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a printed circuit board (PCB), beta and parts of the surface adhesion (SMT) etc. market.
