Where is supa powan?
@SOUTHie

India is not an industrial power. It's obvious we won't be on the list.

By the way where is your Island in the list?

SP2012 is no. 1 in rankings like malnutrition and illeratcy.
Should also be no.1 in industrial robot rank.

Fake rank!
Fake news!

Supa powa with 1.5 billion jobless people still feeling good

No worries mate. You cannot shame the shameless Certain people are naturally thick skinned. So go ahead and tease them at will. They will not be hurt and they will not change


Hey, don't forget stolen, poor quality and freedom

I kind of know how and what the Indians are. I often find myself be shocked and somehow amused at how uninformed, ignorant and brainwashed they showed, they believe what they choose to believe.

And I kind of agree what you mentioned "You cannot shame the shameless", just like that you can't awake someone who pretends being asleep.

However, why bother.
Our response to them could be more positive and gentlemen.
Goodwill exchanges.
We could both open up.

Guys, lets focus on the topics on industrial robotics.
---------------------------------------------------------------
According to NBS (China National Bureau of Statistics), China produces 95,351 units of industrial robotics during the period of Q1 to Q3, 2017, a 69.4% growth compared to the same period 2016.

That means the domestic industrial robotics production volume in the first three quarters 2017 has exceeded the new installations of industrial robotics in China 2016. ( 87,000 units in 2016, according to IFR).

Great news. This suggests that the share of domestically-made robots in the total installed robots is growing.

This is a very positive news as it helps retain innovation, hold more patents, create a knowledge/expertise pool and increase revenue from value added production.

The next step then would be to increase the export of China made industrial robots, especially, to developing countries.

I feel happy for all SPers.

We recently see the emerge of some promising Chinese robotics builders, e.g. Siasun (沈阳新松). A video to showcase Siasun's robotics used by BMW's car plants in China. It's fortunately a video in English.

according to PDF RSS, it is.

why robots?

i would not appreciate this robots working with humans until we have zero unemployment in every part of the world with no poverty. I mean pls china just see the poverty in India and other poor countries why not hiring manpower from these countries until there is no poverty then hire robots when we have no human resource available.

Reasons that China is automating and robotizing its manufacturing facilities.

China doesn't want to move its manufacturing plants to lower-wage countries, because those countries might decide to nationalize the China-built factories in the future. "In 1950, [Saudi] King Abdulaziz threatened to nationalize his country's oil facilities, thus pressuring Aramco to agree to share profits 50/50."

China has to automate its production plants with industrial robots, because other countries will do it. China does not have the option of not automating and robotizing, because products produced with robots are much cheaper and better in quality.

Robots can work 24 hours per day. Humans can only work 8 hours per day before becoming tired.

Robot quality is consistent. Humans make errors. Thus, the defect rate for human-manufactured goods is much higher.

Robots don't require wages or raises. Human labor costs always increase over time.

Robots, unlike humans, don't require unemployment insurance.

Foxconn can eliminate the dormitories and cafeterias for human workers. Robots don't require these expensive accommodations. Foxconn can also eliminate the human resource department, because there is no need to hire human workers anymore.

China is a high-wage nation relative to many countries in Asia. To maintain its manufacturing dominance, China must automate and use industrial robots.

Automation and robotics change the manufacturing game. It becomes a capital-intensive competition, instead of a labor-intensive sector. With China's ample financial and technological resources, this provides China with a large advantage in manufacturing. Additionally, China has a huge domestic market that provides a built-in demand and economies of scale for Chinese manufactured goods.

Combining all of these advantages (capital-intensity benchmark, financial resources, advanced robotics technology, enhanced productivity, superior computing power, and $12 trillion domestic market), China will remain the world's dominant manufacturer indefinitely.

it is a cruel world, my friend, especially in the area of industrialization.

China nowadays is the largest manufacturing power in the world. China makes this achievement not because of the mercy of other countries, but because of own hard work, huge tons of sweat, and even blood and lives.

Midea’s new robots could replace 400,000 pharmacists in China

Nov 02, 2017

Midea, the Chinese giant manufacturing giant which makes household appliances such as washing machines and refridgerators, is launching robot pharmacists which would put 400,000 humans out of work.

That may sound unlikely in the short term, but market analysts quoted by Bloomberg estimate that robots will account for 20 per cent of all pharmaceuticals sales by 2020.

Moreover, Midea chairman and CEO Paul Fang acknowledges the potential revolution the company’s robots could start.

Foshan told Bloomberg: “There is explosive potential in robotics and automation in China, and we are only at the beginning.”

Midea recently completed its acquisition of German industrial industrial robot maker Kuka.

The two companies have already said they plan to develop robots for household applications, so this particular diversification is not a total surprise.

Fang says: “Every consumer sector in China is upgrading and our cooperation seizes this trend in health care.’’

Recent years have seen the Chinese government launch a campaign called “Made in China” which is seeking to encourage the manufacturing of more robotics and advanced technologies inside the country rather than made abroad and imported.

China is currently the world’s largest importer of industrial robots, and the demand for robots of all types are projected to grow – not just in the country, but worldwide.

Robots are not only a finished product, but also a means or tool for making other products, widely used in manufacturing.

And China being arguably the largest manufacturing nation in the world, the government clearly thinks it is important to maintain the means of production within the country.

And robotics and automation technologies will form an increasingly important component within the means of production – rather than cheap labour, which is what China has built its manufacturing base on.

Midea is also looking towards new opportunities opening up in new markets, such as electric vehicles, according to Fang, who adds that the company is successfully internationalising its operations, with newly opened offices in facilities in several locations around the world, including an office in Silicon Valley, in the US.

The healthcare and pharmaceutical sector is seeing some interesting and advanced new robotics systems being developed, ranging from robotic arms for surgery and automated dispensing machines.

Among the companies which are hoping to gain an early-mover advantage are Kawasaki, which already sells a lot of industrial robots into China, and now plans to develop surgical robots, and Omnicell, which has an established range of pharmaceutical dispensing systems.

Woah. But should we stop teasing the Indians?
Though we know what kind of them tend to be. But still, teasing is not funny.

I'm with you. Recently Chinese members are too harsh to Indians. No need to drag Indians in unless they make provocative comments. Especially in robot industry, China is still a follower. Not qualified to boast around.

Thanks, and agree.
