Hannover Messe 2018 was originally a good opportunity for Japanese industrial robot manufacturers to market their products. However, according to the Nikkan Industrial News website, in this exhibition, the Japanese factory felt not a business opportunity but a crisis and brought a crisis. The main reason is the 5G wireless communication technology actively promoted by the telecom factory.

Japan's industrial robots account for 40% of the global market, ranking first in the world, and Japan is considered to be the world's leading robotic country; after the decline of Japan's home appliance industry and mobile phone industry, industrial robots to Japan's export industry and high-tech industry The importance is further improved.

5G applications threaten Japan's industrial robot industry

Japan's industrial robot industry has the advantage of sophisticated control systems, such as Fanuc, Mitsubishi Electric, and Omron. It has long-term experience in designing control system hardware and software, streamlined and powerful. It can also be used with customer adjustment functions, which is difficult for other manufacturers to follow.

However, these systems installed in the cloud must control industrial robots, the bottleneck in the network transmission speed, the automation equipment that emphasizes real-time high-speed operation, the time delay of wireless network data transmission is unbearable, the wired network is easy to interfere with the operation, or it is installed on the terminal equipment. Use together.

Hannover Messe 2018, mainland China exhibited robots in cooperation with German automation equipment factory Beckhoff AutomaTIon, not only has sophisticated control capabilities, but more importantly, system control is directly issued by remote servers through 5G wireless network technology. Originally, it relied only on the control system installed on the robot, which can be installed directly in the cloud.

Once the industrial robot can be controlled from the cloud, its control system no longer needs special hardware and software. It only waits for the general PC operating system plus its own written program. It no longer needs a custom control system. The Japanese industrial robot is in the control system. The advantages can be said to be gone.

Nissan focuses on 5G applications in audio-visual entertainment and autonomous driving, but Europe and the United States pay more attention to automated production equipment applications. Beside Beckhoff AutomaTIon, Bosch or Kuka are also developing industrial robot technology using 5G wireless network control.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Assistant Director of Industry Machinery, Mr. Tanikawa said that 5G will not be applied from 2020, and it will be popularized in the factory after 2025. Industrial robots should have time to deal with it; but the cloud of robot control system The trend is unstoppable and the Japanese factory should prepare early.
