Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

According to Cao Shen's original calculation, it shouldn't take long for the system to get into trouble. It was also because of this that I agreed to Xu Mingzhe's dinner in the evening.

As a result, I didn’t expect that the system would take a day to complete.

Cao Shen also felt strange that it was such a big deal that it took so long.

This thing couldn't have gone astray!

Strongly request the system to show the results in progress.

When he saw it, he said, oh, he happily stroked his beloved general’s head:

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, you take your time."

Although the system chirps every time before starting work, the work is really good!

Not only are they writing the operating system, the twin digital platform and modifying the "intelligent warehousing system" in accordance with Cao Shen's requirements.

The types and locations of sensors that need to be added to the entire system are also carefully marked.

Even better, additions and modifications have been made to the instruction set of the MIPS architecture.

Oh, this will directly allow the performance of MIPS to be more than doubled in the future.

In this case, Cao Shen rubbed his hands.

Alas, human nature is greedy.

Although I am just a "corpse" now, my original intention is still there, goose ho ho ho ho!

"System, you have improved the performance of the CPU."

[That’s right, otherwise there’s really no way to deploy a useful operating system, it won’t be able to carry it around]

"After the CPU performance is improved, to what extent can the existing equipment achieve the efficiency of the smart warehousing system you proposed?"

【5%? 8%? 】

"Alas!" Cao Shen sighed deeply:

"It's a pity. It's obviously a good product, but the reality is so cruel that it can only have such a small effect."

The nerves in his system tightened and he wailed:

[Host, don’t even think about returning it!

I have already done my best! 】

"Look at the system. I spent a year of my life buying a smart warehousing system.

I definitely hope to be able to utilize it 100%.

As a result, because your product is completely out of touch, it can only perform less than 10% of its effectiveness.

Just say, am I at a loss?

I did not choose to come to this world.

Your products are not designed by me either.

I actually spent a year of my life, so the blame is definitely not on me. "

The system raised its hand, pointed it slowly at itself, and said with trembling lips:

[So...the blame lies with me? 】

"Yes," Cao Shen nodded seriously.

The system almost cried:

[Host, I don’t want to either. I didn’t do this or develop it.

I'm just a seller...]

Cao Shen touched the system's bald head and said kindly:

"I understand, I understand, you can be considered a scapegoat.

Otherwise, there is another way to improve the overall performance a little bit more, and you can do your best?

Let me not lose too much.

Otherwise, after this painful lesson, how could I dare to exchange my life for things in the future?

If you can't use the things you exchanged for it, aren't you just wasting your money?

Then, it’s too bullying! "

【No no no! ] The system grabbed Cao Shen's clothes with both hands and said sincerely:

[Quick, let me do my best!

Our products are still very good. Host, you must continue to patronize us in the future. 】

I also want to change my height, change my breasts, and change my appetite!

Cao Shen pointed to a six-axis robot and said:

“Actually, in addition to the CPU, you can try to improve the mechanical performance.

For example, the three core components of this industrial robot are reducer, servo system and controller.

These three parts directly determine the performance, reliability and load capacity of the industrial robot, and play a vital role in the overall robot. "

Gulu, the system swallowed.

These three pieces are indeed the core components of industrial robots, and together they account for 70% of the cost of the entire machine.

There is indeed improved technology!

But, that has to be exchanged!

Seeing that the system was silent for a long time, Cao Shen shook his head helplessly:

“Oh, forget it if it doesn’t work.

If the business doesn't work out, it doesn't matter if we don't buy anything from now on and just make friends. "

The three major parts that Mr. Cao wants are not only monopolized by foreign brands in the original world, but also are the main bottleneck restricting the development of China's industrial robots.

In Dongguo in 2012, there was even less drama.

So, um, I quite want it.

Industrial robots in the original world originated in the United States and flourished in Japan.

Since the birth of the world's first robot in the late 1950s, industrially developed countries have established a complete industrial robot industry system and controlled core technologies and product applications.

Four major families of industrial robots have been formed: Japan's Fanuc, Yaskawa, Switzerland's ABB and Germany's KUKA.

Japan's industrial robot technology was introduced from the United States in 1967, but it quickly overtook it and its industry position has been stable for a long time.

The global market share remains at around 60%, and once exceeded 90%. It has the most complete industrial chain supporting facilities and core technology reserves.

In terms of servo motors and CNC systems, it has long been a leader in technology research and application markets.

And here, the robots from Neon Country also dominate.

This is due to the lack of labor in Neon Country and the strong demand for machines with high production capacity and high degree of automation.

To this end, the Neon Government has long been committed to promoting the development of robots.

Even since childhood, early cartoons such as "Astro Boy" and "Doraemon" have given the majority of citizens a positive image of Amway robots in their childhood and promoted interest in robotic technology.

At the beginning, this kind of animation was a kind of "political correctness" in Neon Country.

This also leads to the fact that Neon Country has the highest acceptance of robots among almost all countries, and has a "robot" culture.

The United States is different. Their robots often play the role of "villains". They want to kill humans and are the masters of the country. They want to destroy the earth. They are the dog legs of aliens.

Therefore, some "anti-robotism" pops up in the United States from time to time.

Of course, in essence, this is also directly related to personal interests.

Neon State has a lifetime employment system. Generally speaking, employees will work for a company for their entire life.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about being abandoned due to the application of robots.

This plays a more positive role in the promotion of robots in Neon Country, and can at least reduce a lot of related resistance.

The robots in the United States were born at the wrong time.

There were robots in the 1950s, but by the 1960s, the U.S. trade deficit expanded and the economy weakened.

Due to U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson's large-scale investment in the "Great Society" and the expenditure on the Southern War.

The U.S. economy entered an 11-month recession in the late 1960s.

After the 1970s, in order to win votes, Nixon worked hard to prevent the economy from entering another recession and worked to reduce unemployment, choosing to pursue an expansionary monetary policy.

Although it was somewhat effective in the short term, it also led to a substantial increase in the inflation rate a few years later.

In addition, he also carried out an operation that has far-reaching influence to this day, breaking the peg between the US dollar and gold in 1971. This directly turned the U.S. dollar into an unanchored currency, causing a substantial devaluation.

This laid the foundation for the economic recession of 1973.

High inflation forces the government to lower inflation by raising bank interest rates, thus causing a devastating blow to interest-rate-sensitive industries such as real estate and automobiles.

This is one of the reasons why the dollar has depreciated and oil prices have soared.

As a global settlement currency, the U.S. dollar is not anchored, which leads to it filling the bill whenever it encounters a problem, and then the whole world pays for it.

This is why Dongguo is doing its best to open the way to a global currency.

It is precisely because of the economic recession in the United States that the research on robots has been "cut off" by the government.

Enterprises in Neon Country also took the opportunity to expand aggressively in the United States.

At the same time, due to the economic recession, the unemployment rate in the United States rose sharply in the 1970s, reaching as high as 8.8% in 1973.

The serious unemployment problem has not only made the U.S. government but also the American people worry that the promotion of automation and robots may further exacerbate the unemployment problem.

Not only has the government reduced its investment in research on robot applications, but the people are also mentally resistant.

The situation in the United States in the original world is similar.

As the birthplace of industrial robots, although in the thirty years since the development of robots, the entire industry has gone from prosperity to decline and then to recovery.

But they have a solid foundation, and after 2000 they mainly focused on special robots.

Such as space robots, military autonomous vehicles and systems, and collaborative robots.

The "Mars Rover" in the Mars Exploration Plan is a representative work of special robots.

As for other industrial robots, the United States currently mainly purchases robots and supporting equipment from around the world to conduct integrated production line design, peripheral equipment research and development, and integrated debugging.

Europe, dominated by Germany, has achieved complete autonomy in core components such as sensors, controllers, and precision reducers.

The server is amazing, but we still have to reach out to Japan.

However, German robots lead the world in fields such as human-computer interaction, machine vision, and machine interconnection.

Germany introduced industrial robots five or six years later than the United Kingdom and Sweden. In 1971, there were less than 50 units, and by 1972, no factory for manufacturing robots had been established.

The German government realized that industrial robots could promote industrial upgrading and introduced the "Plan to Improve Labor Conditions" in the 1970s.

It is stipulated that dangerous, toxic, and harmful positions must be replaced by robots.

Under the strong requirements of the law, the development of German robots began to flourish.

At the same time, robots can not only significantly reduce production costs, but also improve product manufacturing accuracy and quality, thus creating a strong German manufacturing brand.

South Korea's industrial robots started slightly later than the United States, Japan and Germany. They began to develop industrial robots by introducing Japan's FANUC technology, and the duo of Hyundai Heavy Industries and Samsung emerged.

In 2010, South Korea's industrial robot sales once surpassed Japan's and became the world's number one, but later it was apparently overtaken by Japan. However, South Korea has always maintained the highest density of industrial robot use in the world.

It can be seen that the history of the rise of great powers is also a history of industrial upgrading.

As a key supporting equipment for advanced manufacturing, industrial robots are the cornerstone of industrial upgrading.

Major economies such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have promoted the development of the robot industry as a national strategy.

Although China's robots started very late, it was only in 1985 that the first underwater robot "Hai Ren No. 1", the first six-degree-of-freedom joint robot "Shanghai No. 1", and the first arc welding robot "Huayu-I" were launched. type".

However, at the national level, it attaches great importance to the development of robotic technology and applications.

In the 1990s, nine robot industrialization bases and seven scientific research bases were established in China.

During this period, as companies such as Yaskawa, Panasonic, Fanuc, KUKA, and ABB entered China in batches and opened a large number of joint ventures, the commercialization of China's industrial robot market entered a stage of accelerated expansion.

The development of the market will promote technological progress and at the same time cultivate a large number of outstanding talents.

In the 12th Five-Year Plan 2011-2015, China even proposed "intelligent manufacturing" and encouraged Chinese manufacturing companies to increase their use of robots and automation.

Therefore, starting from 2010, China's industrial robots entered a period of rapid growth.

As of 2013, China's purchase of industrial robots has exceeded 30,000 units, ranking first in the world.

Since then, China has become the world's largest industrial robot market, accounting for 38% of the global total by 2019.

At the same time, the density of robot use is also increasing rapidly.

It increased from 15 units per 10,000 people in 2010 to 187 units per 10,000 people in 2019.

Although the improvement is rapid, there is still a gap compared with South Korea's 855 units, Japan's 364 units, the United States' 228 units, and Germany's 1131 units in automobile manufacturing.

It can also be seen from another level that these countries with high-density use of robots are all major automobile manufacturing countries.

Indeed, automobile manufacturing plays a vital role in promoting the development, use and penetration of industrial robots.

The automotive industry's purchase of industrial robots accounts for more than 30% of total sales and has always topped the list.

The second-ranked industry is electronics manufacturing, accounting for 25%.

The development of China's automobile industry and electronics industry and the application and development of industrial robots are complementary to each other.

In addition, with the rapid growth of the market and progress in research and development, China's industrial robot industry chain has become increasingly mature.

In the mid- to low-end markets, such as chemical industry, metal and other application fields, the localization rate is close to 70%.

However, in high-end fields, such as automobile manufacturing and 3C electronics, they are still highly dependent on imports.

In China's robot research and development, the core components, especially the three major components of reducer, servo system and controller, are still almost monopolized by the Japanese.

Looking at the history of robot development in China, although it has accelerated, it did start late, resulting in the core technology being protected by patents and monopolized.

In the future, there is still room for further growth.

Especially in the three core areas, they are not only the key to technology, but also the bulk of the cost.

The reducer accounts for about 36% of the total machine cost.

The performance of the reducer determines the accuracy and load of the industrial robot.

It is an intermediate device that connects servo motors and execution components.

It is responsible for transmitting the power of the servo motor through the small gear on the input shaft and the large gear on the output shaft to achieve the purpose of deceleration and transmit greater torque.

Each "joint" of an industrial robot uses a different reducer.

Moreover, as a transmission and load-bearing component, the reducer will inevitably suffer wear and tear during use, and its service life is generally about two years.

So, this thing is a consumable.

During the average life of an industrial robot of eight to ten years, money can be charged for parts maintenance, and money can also be charged for parts replacement.

This business is very good.

This product has high technical barriers, and China's current harmonic reducer research and development speed is relatively fast. In low-end application scenarios, it can already catch up with foreign products.

However, harmonic reducers are mainly used in robot joints under 20 kilograms, and as the use time increases, the movement accuracy will significantly decrease.

The RV reducer has a larger load capacity, high fatigue strength, long life, and the price is generally twice that of the harmonic reducer.

RV reducers are mainly monopolized by Japan.

Two companies, Nabtesco and Hamonac, account for more than 75% of the global market share.

Servo system, accounting for 24% of the cost.

In recent years, China's servo system industry has developed rapidly, and it is also the most promising part of the three core components to start full domestic substitution.

Servo systems generally consist of servo motors, servo drives and encoders.

Generally installed at the "joints" of the robot.

Generally speaking, the more "joints" a robot has, the more flexible it is and the better its displacement accuracy.

Naturally, the more servo motors are required.

The future development direction of the manufacturing industry must be "intelligent" + "flexible".

That means that future industrial robots must also become "softer", smaller and more flexible.

Number of servos, more!

The market will be bigger!

In the original world, the domestic high-end servo motor market was mainly occupied by foreign manufacturers. The three Japanese companies Panasonic, Yaskawa and Mitsubishi accounted for more than 50% of the market share.

German companies Siemens, Bosch and Schneider have a market share of around 30%.

The share of domestic enterprises is about 10%.

It may not seem like much, but it is not easy to start from scratch and seize the market.

The cost of the controller accounts for about 12% of the entire machine.

The gap between China and foreign companies in terms of hardware is already very small, and it is still slightly behind in terms of software.

The controller is the brain of the robot control system.

Its main task is to control the movement position, attitude and trajectory of the robot in the work space through the combination of various hardware and software.

Although the cost of the controller is relatively low among the core components, it plays a key role in controlling the robot.

Domestic industrial robot controllers have gradually matured in terms of hardware such as control boards, and have developed representative dual and multi-CPU and hierarchical control systems.

Although some underlying chips still rely on imports, the hardware solution of the controller has basically reached international standards.

The main gaps are reflected in software aspects such as control algorithms and secondary development.

Therefore, due to the lack of software technical advantages, it is slightly inferior in terms of operational accuracy and stability.

Currently, it can only be used in the general-purpose robot market with low precision requirements, such as handling, palletizing and other fields.

The development of Dongguo Robots is not as good as that of China in the original world. Up to now, the three core technologies are completely missing.

After all, Dongguo was founded much later and has missed the best time for robots to start.

By the time they want to develop, various patented technologies have been firmly monopolized.

Therefore, Dongguo’s robots are highly dependent on imports.

The machines Cao Shen bought were naturally all overseas brands.

Moreover, because the AGV robot is specially customized, it also costs a lot of extra money.

The current robot usage density in Dongguo is similar to that in the original world in 2010, which is around 15 units per 10,000 people.

If Cao Shen wants to do "intelligent manufacturing", it will definitely not work without robots to do the work. It will all rely on other people's core technologies, so he will definitely not do it himself.

So, only the system can do it.

The system struggled for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

After all, it’s better to “do business” than “make friends”!

Cao Shen saw that the three major modules of the modified system had obviously greatly improved the existing technology.

That means that using new solutions can make machines faster, more accurate, more durable, and more flexible.

From the underlying hardware to the machine to the system, the prototype of the entire intelligent manufacturing has been unfolded in Cao Shen's mind.

pretty!

Xu Mingzhe felt a little unhappy when he received the news that Cao Shen was letting go.

But, what's more, I feel relieved.

He didn't know why, but when he saw Cao Shen, he felt a little stressed.

When I told Lao Xu the news, his eyes widened:

"Aren't you coming?"

As he spoke, he poked Xu Mingzhe's head hard:

"Why do you give up so easily! People say you can't catch up in the evening, but they don't say you can't catch up at night.

Why don't you ask when people will be free?

Sincerity, how can you show your sincerity if you give up after someone gives up?

You are such a big man, you still need me to teach you this.

Mingzhe, I tell you, it is normal to encounter obstacles and difficulties when doing things.

Anyone who can achieve success must be able to endure it and survive all the way!

If you are just trying so little, how can things settle down..."

Xu Mingzhe was a little impatient. It was a rare meeting between the two men, so the old man took the opportunity to chatter.

He slapped Lao Xu’s fingers away with his hand:

“Definitely!

no!

Today is the first day of East Joy. We were partying on the cruise ship in the evening.

Where can I find the space? "

Old Xu Yi frowned:

"Have a party, have a party, you party every day.

There is a party on the cruise ship and all the demons are dancing wildly. Is it important for you to meet Cao Shen?

Why can’t I carry it clearly? "

"Okay, okay! I'll ask him to come on the cruise ship!"

So what are you doing? Are you coming tonight too?

Don’t take a nap when you’re old! "

"Hey!" Old Xu slapped Xu Mingzhe on the back of the head:

"No matter how old you are, I'm no worse than you at staying up all night!"

"Who dozes off on the sofa with the TV on at nine o'clock in the evening!" Xu Mingzhe retorted.

"Am I dozing off? I closed my eyes and listened!" Lao Xu was dissatisfied.

"Haha, as I get older, my mouth is still tough..." Xu Mingzhe muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say!" Lao Xu didn't hear clearly.

"I said, OK, OK, send him a friend letter immediately and invite him to come on the cruise!"

"Hey, that's right.

Besides, this Cao Shen is also a young man, well, a little younger than you.

It’s also nice to meet on the cruise ship, the atmosphere is relaxed.

Let me tell you, the atmosphere when talking about things is also very important. When everyone is relaxed, it is easy to get closer..."

"Haha, so you liked to talk in nightclubs in the early years?"

"Hey!" Lao Xu slapped his thigh:

"That's because of work needs. Besides, back then, you and I had many discussions in nightclubs to get things done.

Without me, how would you be able to enjoy the fine clothes and food you have now?

Remember when I..."

"Okay, okay, don't think about the old days, I'm sending a friend letter." Xu Mingzhe immediately interrupted Lao Xu's "I was brave in the past" tirade.

Cao Shen received Xu Mingzhe's invitation and said to the system:

"Can we catch the late flight back?"

The system raised its head, and there was a little smoke on the bald head:

【You think too much】

"Okay, don't worry!" Cao Shen pressed the system's shoulder and said very friendly:

"After you finish your work, I'll take you to a big dinner in the evening!"

The system felt nervous:

[Host, what’s wrong with you! Make it clear! 】
