According to a report by the French "Echo News" on December 18th, in the Jingdong R&D laboratory in the south of Beijing, the forklift was automatically operated, and the robots lifted the boxes and lifted the target goods on the shelves. China's second-largest e-commerce company, JD.com, has been constantly investing in warehouse automation and trying to send courier with small robots and drones.
In September, Jingdong opened its first fully automated warehouse near Shanghai, allowing machines and robots to manage small cargoes unloaded from trucks. At the beginning of November, Jingdong’s head of logistics strategy stated that at a time when China’s e-commerce continues to grow, “we have to build several million square meters of warehouses each year, but it is particularly difficult to recruit porters and delivery peopleâ€.
According to the report, although JD.com uses automation as a top priority for industrial tools, the proportion of robots in China is still very low, with only 49 industrial robots per 10,000 workers. However, China has accelerated its speed and has just broken through a mark that marks industrial modernization. On the 18th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China pointed out that the output of industrial robots will exceed 100,000 for the first time this year. China has already exceeded this threshold in the first ten months of this year, and the annual output will reach 120,000. In 2016, China produced 72,000 industrial robots.
According to reports, China’s industrial robotization is at the heart of the grand plan of “Made in China 2025â€. Beijing hopes to use this plan to make China an industrial powerhouse from the world's factories. Among the many goals set by China is to increase the number of robots per 10,000 workers to 150. The International Robot Confederation pointed out that although there is still a gap from the world leader in Korea (531), it is close to the United States (176). In this regard, China is the largest market, and China’s demand for industrial robots accounts for about one third of the world’s total.
In 2015, two-thirds of China's demand was met by overseas manufacturers. However, as large domestic companies have become important players in the industry, this proportion has shown a downward trend. Jingdong Hemei is one of the representatives. Midea's acquisition of KUKA, a German robot manufacturing company, in 2016 triggered a sensation.
According to the report, China is facing the problem of the decline in the employment population and the rapid rise in labor costs. Even if you want to rely on robots to ensure competitiveness, it will take time for automation.
