In the process of industrial development, enterprises are like scattered pearls. Only by forming a chain of beads can they shine. Especially since the implementation of the "Robot+" Application Action Plan by national ministries and commissions, a hundred flowers have bloomed in the application of robots in the top ten key areas. The Henan Robotics Industry Association should further leverage its influence and drive, accelerate the establishment of a supply and demand docking platform for upstream and downstream enterprises, collaborate to solve bottlenecks and common problems such as technological innovation, high-end talents, and industrial parks, promote the modernization level of the robot and CNC machine tool industry chain, and improve the integrity and stability of the industry chain and supply chain Wang Jichang, President of the Henan Robotics Industry Association, said in an interview with a reporter from Dahe Daily and Yu Video.
The scale of industrial robots and CNC machine tool industries continues to grow
Robots are known as the "crown of manufacturing", while industrial robots are the jewels on the crown. Therefore, the research and development, manufacturing, and application of industrial robots are important indicators to measure a country's technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level.
The reporter learned from the above work conference that the Henan Robotics Industry Association cited statistics from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), which showed that in 2021, the global industrial robot market size was 17.5 billion US dollars, and it is expected to reach 23 billion US dollars by 2024. The scale of the domestic industrial robot industry has consistently ranked first in the global market for many years.
According to the statistics of the Henan Robot Industry Association, the total number of robot related enterprises in Henan Province is 12685, ranking 8th in the country. They are mainly distributed in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Nanyang and other places, involving fields such as parts, robot bodies, system integration and applications. Among them, there are 101 above designated enterprises that have formed large-scale production.

With the arrival of Industry 4.0 era, the industrial robot market in China has shown explosive growth, and it is expected to maintain a high growth rate in the coming years.
As the "industrial mother machine" for robot production and manufacturing, the global CNC machine tool industry is also showing a growing trend year by year. According to the Henan Robotics Industry Association, citing the predicted data from the China Institute of Commerce, it is expected that the scale of China's CNC machine tool industry will reach 409 billion yuan by 2023.
Among them, Henan Province focuses on developing large-scale, precision, and high-speed CNC machining equipment and systems, and has now formed a group of products and industries with obvious regional advantages in the same industry nationwide. Henan Province relies on advantageous enterprises to cultivate leading domestic production bases for high-end CNC machine tools, specialized CNC machine tool production bases, and key component production bases. Among them, the advantages of key basic components are obvious, and the products of enterprises such as Luoyang Shayan Technology, Luoyang LYC bearings, Anyang Laibitai Machinery, and Anyang Fuwode have significant influence in China.
Rapid market development forces accelerated upgrading of the industrial chain
The robot industry chain includes four major links: core component production, robot body manufacturing, system integration, and industry application. The reporter learned from the work meeting that the participating enterprises have both affirmation and expectations for the current development of Henan's robot and CNC machine tool industries.
According to the analysis of the Henan Robotics Industry Association, from the upstream of the industrial chain, key components such as reducers, servo systems, controllers, and sensors required by robots are mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan. China is concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and other places, while Henan is mainly concentrated in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuchang and other places.
From the perspective of the middle reaches of the industrial chain, the global leading enterprises in the robotics industry are mainly distributed in countries such as Germany, the United States, and Japan, while Chinese robotics enterprises are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and other places. Henan is mainly distributed in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuchang, and other places.
From the downstream of the industrial chain, with the integration and development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, hardware, network, and cloud computing, the degree of intelligence and flexibility of robots is constantly improving, and their adaptability to scenarios is becoming stronger. Robots are accelerating their penetration in various application fields.

At present, the robotics industry in Henan Province has achieved rapid development in terms of quantity, and the robotics industry chain has basically taken shape. However, due to insufficient technological accumulation and weak industrial foundation, the upstream and downstream industrial chains in the agglomeration area are still incomplete, especially the lack of high-end products. Compared with regions with strong development foundations in the robotics industry in China such as the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Beijing Tianjin Hebei, the gap is still relatively large He Jiansheng, Deputy General Manager of Zhengzhou Yueda Technology Equipment Co., Ltd.
Established in 2003, Zhengzhou Yueda Technology Equipment Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in welding cutting and automation, coating automation, intelligent equipment and its integrated production line. Its comprehensive technical strength in the coating and welding fields ranks at the leading level in China.
From an overall perspective, the Henan robot industry chain is in an intermediate state. From a distribution perspective, there is a lack of core robot component manufacturing in the upstream, and midstream enterprises are in the growth stage with immature technological support. Industry enterprises are mostly in the downstream system integration and application of the industry chain, "He Jiansheng said.
The current situation faced by the CNC machine tool industry is that with the continuous upgrading and development of downstream industries, the market has increasingly high requirements for machine tool processing accuracy and precision stability. The demand for mid to high-end products is becoming increasingly prominent, and there is a strong demand for updates and upgrades.

Several enterprise leaders, including Hu Fangkun, General Manager of Henan Kurui Robot Technology Co., Ltd., Cheng Jian'an, Chairman of Sany Intelligent Equipment (Anyang) Co., Ltd., and Li Xuexiao, Deputy Director of Anyang Xinsheng Machine Tool Co., Ltd., have reached a consensus that the structural upgrading of the Chinese machine tool market is moving towards automation, complete sets, customer customization, and universal gear shifting, with the hope of further advancing towards high-end, integrated, and service-oriented development Development in the direction of autonomy.
Cheng Jian'an, Chairman of Sany Intelligent Equipment (Anyang) Co., Ltd
The digitization of modular machine tools and the combination of CNC machine tools will be the future development trend, "said Professor Ning Yi, director of the Institute of Robotics at Henan University of Technology.
Against the backdrop of stock updates, import substitution, and downstream industry prosperity in domestic mid to high-end CNC machine tools, the industry as a whole is expected to accelerate its development.
Lack of composite talents has become the biggest "stumbling block" in the industrial chain
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out the need for high-end, intelligent, and green development in the manufacturing industry. To achieve the goal, it is crucial to have skilled talents that match it.
There is a serious shortage of professional and technical personnel, especially in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and new generation information technology, and talent introduction is difficult to promote the intelligent development of enterprises, making it difficult to meet the needs of enterprises to enhance product competitiveness. "said Li Xuexiao, Deputy Director of Anyang Xinsheng Machine Tool Co., Ltd.

Intelligent manufacturing belongs to the intersection of traditional manufacturing and information technology, and its development in China is still in its early stages. In recent years, the intelligent manufacturing industry has developed rapidly, and the contradiction between supply and demand of various talents has become increasingly prominent. There are various phenomena such as the aging of the existing talent team, scarcity of young talents, single talent skill structure, and a disconnect between talent supply and demand.
A participant candidly stated that in order to retain core technical talents, "we have exhausted all means to treat and speak well. Because once people leave, the entire production line will have to stop, and the enterprise cannot afford it
Cao Linsen (Middle), General Manager of Xuchang Zhongfeng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd
According to the prediction of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, by 2025, the talent gap in China's intelligent manufacturing field will reach 4.5 million people, facing problems such as talent shortage and gaps. Many intelligent manufacturing enterprises have not yet established a scientific talent introduction and cultivation system, a reasonable employment system, and a talent integration system.
Young versatile talents who can write papers and operate machine tools are urgently needed in the current industry, possessing a complex knowledge structure, innovative consciousness, and craftsmanship spirit.

Suggestions and suggestions: 1. Innovate the talent cultivation mechanism, and cultivate application and research and development elites without any constraints
The participating enterprises unanimously believe that currently, the shortage of talents and the imperfect training system have become one of the bottlenecks restricting the development of intelligent manufacturing. It is urgent to cooperate with all sectors of industry, academia, research, and application to accelerate the construction of an intelligent manufacturing skilled talent training system and improve the quality of various talent training.
Professor Deng Xiaozhong
Talents are the key, especially high-end talents. We can consider innovating in the training mechanism, integrating schools and enterprises to establish industrial colleges. In response to market demand, graduates from colleges, vocational schools, and high schools can apply to study. We will make great efforts in cultivating high-end talents, researching and developing high-end products, and introducing talents, using policy leverage to leverage the rise of the industry. "Experts in the field of CNC machine tools, recipients of State Council subsidies Professor Deng Xiaozhong, former Dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Henan University of Science and Technology and Director of the Henan Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Manufacturing of Mechanical Equipment, stated.
Professor Ning Yi
Colleges and universities should teach students according to their aptitude. As long as students have a strong interest in the field of intelligent manufacturing, they should combine the needs of the market and enterprises to cultivate talents according to the direction of elite talents, and not adhere to any specific standards. "Professor Ning Yi, director of the Institute of Robotics at Henan University of Technology, proposed.
According to the reporter's understanding, currently, some enterprises mostly adopt methods such as self built training colleges and joint training between schools and enterprises for talent cultivation.

Suggestions and suggestions 2: Focus on a specific niche area and drive the industrial chain with flagship products
At present, the general machine tool industry in our province has a large quantity, wide coverage, and weak core competitiveness. How to break through the industry competition, Professor Deng Xiaozhong proposed that there is still room for development in certain sub areas of special machine tools, and resources should be concentrated to focus on a key industry in a particular field in Henan, driving a large area with key components.
He pointed out that our province has advantages in bearings and automotive parts manufacturing. We can establish an industrial research institute to develop unmanned production lines for special manufacturing fields, and various enterprises can collaborate to form our province's leading industry in a particular field.
Suggestions and Suggestions 3: Plan for the Robotics Industry Research Institute and Join Hands to Sail Away
The manufacturing industry in Henan Province still faces the problem of being "large but not strong, large but not excellent, and large but not new". The industrial structure urgently needs to be optimized, the modernization level of the industrial chain needs to be improved, and the connection between the upstream, midstream, and downstream of the industrial chain needs to be strengthened. One of the important paths for our province to break through the bottleneck of manufacturing development is to make the industrial chain more perfect and stable, focusing on high-end areas.
He Jiansheng, Deputy General Manager of Zhengzhou Yueda Technology Equipment Co., Ltd
According to the circular chain thinking of gathering resources, expanding the market, and building platforms, we will attract industry leaders through market resources, promote downstream application process innovation and technological upgrading, form industrial symbiosis, and build a localized and high-end new ecosystem of the supply chain. "He Jiansheng, Deputy General Manager of Zhengzhou Yueda Technology Equipment Co., Ltd., said that we should leverage the influence and driving force of the robot industry chain alliance to drive the win-win development of enterprises.
Hu Fangkun, General Manager of Henan Kurui Robot Technology Co., Ltd
Contact manufacturing enterprises within the province to ensure quality and reduce processing costs, creating wealth for Henan, "said Hu Fangkun, General Manager of Henan Kurui Robot Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Xuexiao, Deputy Director of Anyang Xinsheng Machine Tool Co., Ltd., takes the local machine tool industry in Henan as an example. The competition between machine tool enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce, and the internal price war in the industry is becoming increasingly fierce. This has led to a lack of profitability in the entire machine tool industry, with a general profit margin of around 10%. Machine tool enterprises have poor hematopoietic capacity, resulting in weak independent innovation capabilities, This seriously restricts the sustainable development of machine tool enterprises and the improvement of international competitiveness.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right direction, integrate ideas, highlight the characteristics of Henan, concentrate efforts, form a agglomeration effect, and join forces to push the robot industry and its industrial chain in Henan Province to a higher level.
We need to actively explore a diversified formation model with the deep integration of industrial chain, supply chain, and innovation chain, led by leading (backbone) enterprises, universities, research institutes, and upstream and downstream enterprises. Wang Jichang, President of the Henan Robotics Industry Association, stated that the original intention of the Henan Robotics Industry Research Institute is to leverage the key laboratory of robotics, engineering (technology) research center The role of innovation centers and other research and development institutions is to create a "systematic, task oriented, and open" innovation consortium that integrates research and development, pilot testing, industrialization, and engineering.
Suggestions and Suggestions 4 Accelerate the Implementation of Cross Strait Robot Industry Park in Henan Province
Recently, with the strong support of the Intelligent Equipment Group of the Cross Strait Entrepreneurs Summit and the Henan Provincial Taiwan Affairs Office, relevant organizations and units such as the Henan Robot Industry Association, China Machinery Industry Construction Group Co., Ltd., and Yellow River Design Institute have conducted intensive research on multiple robots and related enterprises, which has attracted industry attention.
The research team is in contact with relevant local governments in Henan and plans to jointly plan and construct the "Cross Strait Robot Industry Park". The project is planned to cover an area of about 300 acres and plans to introduce the cross strait robot industry chain to settle in.
