Machine substitution slogan

In order not to be fired, migrant workers need to improve their skills. The latest data shows that the growth rate of migrant workers in China has dropped to 0. 1% in the first half of this year. In 20 10, the figure was 6%. Not surprisingly, there will be a negative growth of migrant workers in China next year. With the disappearance of demographic dividend, it has become a realistic choice for enterprises to replace labor with machines.

The era of "machine substitution" has arrived, and the manufacturing workers are directly affected. "If robots are used, does it mean that many workers will face unemployment in the future?" This is a problem for many workers.

"Machine substitution" is literally the contradiction between machines and people. Huang Xing, chairman of Guangzhou Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. pointed out that it is not the machine that is lacking in machine substitution, but the change of the person who operates the machine. "The flexibility and variability of human beings are unmatched by industrial robots at present." In his view, the current robots are more focused on machines, and in the future robots will add more people's functions.

Lin Zhuoyou, the sales director of a robot company in Kunshan, believes that "machine substitution" does not mean that people are not needed, but that machines are allowed to replace people in a simple, repetitive and harsh working environment, and workers are transformed into people who operate machines, and their work is relaxed and decent from heavy physical labor.

Guangdong Yin Gao Kitchenware Co., Ltd. is a typical application company under the background of machine substitution. Chen Conghan, vice president of the company, said that traditional workers may face job transfer. "For example, traditional polishers can become polishing quality inspectors with their polishing experience after training. In the future, traditional manufacturing industries need highly skilled and compound industrial workers, and the demand for employment in factories will also increase. "

There are not many core technologies owned by domestic robot enterprises, and most of them are re-integrated after introducing foreign advanced parts. For example, the relevant person in charge of Foshan Lixunda Robot System Company revealed that 30% of the company's core products were spent on imported arms.

Gradually cultivating core technologies is an inevitable stage for the rise of domestic robot industry. Bright Lo, vice president of Dongguan Robotics Association, thinks that China's industrial robot industry is twenty or thirty years behind foreign countries, and it is unlikely to surpass or even completely replace the product advantages of foreign brands in a short time. Therefore, the Pearl River Delta, including Dongguan, needs more patience to improve the upstream and downstream of the robot production chain.
