FRANKFURT (Reuters) – China is aiming for a top-10 ranking in automation for its industries
by 2020 by putting more robots in its factories, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR)
said.
China nowadays is working to modify its robotics to eventually lead to an aim of minimizing
labor shortages and fast-rising wages.
But china, instead of being so sufficient in people population still has lower skill in robotics; just
36 per 10,000 manufacturing workers in 2015, ranking it 28th among the world’s most
automated nations.
But the Chinese producers still aim for their product to be highly equipped and technical. They are still aiming for foreign robot companies like, ABB, Kuka and Yaskawa,but the
domestic robot manufacturer give a profit of 31 percent from 25 percent in 2013, the IFR has
said.
To reach a successful score china aims to sales of 100,000 domestically manufactured robots for
a percentage of 49% as compared to the last year sales!
