Tell me a story about automaton.Once upon a time, there was a small automaton named Tim. It was made of shiny brass and gears that clicked and whirred as it moved. Tim lived in a curious inventor's workshop. Every day, it would perform simple tasks like sorting small parts or winding up springs. One day, the inventor decided to upgrade Tim. He added more complex gears and a new program. After that, Tim could do more interesting things, like drawing simple pictures. It became the inventor's favorite creation.
The development trend and prospect of industrial automatonFrom the perspective of technological development trends, the industrial automaton industry was currently at a turning point in the transition from automaton to digitizing, and the demand for software capabilities was rapidly rising. The digitizing of the manufacturing industry mainly included manufacturing planning, mechatronics concept design, production line design, human/robot simulation, factory simulation, process simulation, and so on.
From a global perspective, industrial automated systems have the obvious effect of improving efficiency, saving energy and reducing consumption, saving labor costs, and promoting industrial upgrading. The future development potential is huge. From the domestic point of view, the industrial automaton industry has the strong support of national laws and regulations, and has a huge and diverse market demand. Moreover, the gap between China's industrial automaton level and developed countries in Europe and America is still large. The future industrial automaton rate has a very broad space to improve.
In terms of market competition, local brands quickly occupied the market share of low-end products, and the process of domestication accelerated, such as servos, low-voltage frequency shifters, HMIs, DCs and other products. The domestic brands had an advantage in the fields that did not have high technical requirements, were sensitive to costs, and required the cooperation of manufacturers for process development, such as elevators, textile, woodworking, lithium batteries, photovolts, and other industries. Foreign brands still had advantages in the process control industry (such as metals, petrifaction, etc.) with harsh working conditions and high requirements for stability, high-end industries with high requirements for control systems and drive systems (such as semiconductor, liquid crystal, etc.), and industries where foreign capital entered early and developed competitive special planes (such as heating, paper, etc.).
In terms of products, industrial software grew rapidly. In the next three years, industrial hardware products will gradually turn from negative to positive, and the CAGH will reach 2 - 3%. Among the hardware products, the European and American companies led by SIEMENS were currently leading the industry, but the domestic manufacturers gradually penetrated the small and medium-sized PCs, and their share continued to increase; the technical barriers of Xiaoyi products were relatively low, and there were many domestic players; the domestic replacement of low-voltage frequency changer was obvious, and domestic manufacturers developed rapidly; the domestic brands of servos rose rapidly, and Huichuan's market share far exceeded other players in the industry, reaching 30%.
In terms of the application pattern of bus protocol, EtherCat was an open protocol. At present, domestic brands promoted the EtherCat protocol as the main protocol, while foreign brands laid out the EtherCat protocol one after another. The emerging industry had a high acceptance of the EtherCat protocol.
In terms of downstream applications, the new energy industry continued to exert its strength, and the new energy vehicles, solar power manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, wind power and other industries maintained high growth and prosperity. In the first half of 2024, the market showed signs of improvement. Fixed investment in some industries increased rapidly, but there were also problems such as overcapacity in traditional industries in the OEM market and serious contraction of new demand. However, the continuous growth of emerging industries was driving demand.
"A Short History of the Future: Legends of the Intelligent Era" was equally exciting. Everyone was welcome to click and read it!
When i first stumbled upon this novel i was confused....an automaton? How's that going to work? But now i find myself wondering how much of a crazy genius you have to be to come up with this idea. Plus the English is awesome. Can't wait to see how Tom grows.
