[China Intelligent Manufacturing Network Industry News]my country has an ocean area of nearly 3 million square kilometers and is a veritable maritime country. Therefore, the development of the shipbuilding industry has comprehensive strategic significance for our country. The development of the shipbuilding industry can not only provide necessary technical equipment for ocean development, water transportation, energy transportation, etc., and promote the rapid development of the national economy; it can also effectively protect the country's maritime rights and interests, enhance national defense and security strength, and meet the common needs of both the military and civilians.
These countries are taking action to promote the intelligent upgrading of the shipbuilding industry
All the time For a long time, my country's shipbuilding industry has been a labor-intensive industry. The production and manufacturing of ships rely heavily on labor. The low level of technology has made the overall development of my country's shipbuilding industry large but not strong. At the same time, due to the demographic dividend factor, labor costs have increased sharply in recent years, which has also caused the traditional manual production model to lag behind the development of the times.
Against this background, unmanned and intelligent systems are becoming a new development trend in the shipbuilding industry. Use new technologies such as artificial intelligence and
robots to help improve the technical level of industrial development, Optimizing the industry's efficiency and growth rate structure, as well as reducing pressure and burden on enterprises, are becoming the only way to transform and upgrade the shipbuilding industry.
Currently, in the face of the diversification of information and the complexity of assembly operations in ship manufacturing, more and more countries have started the "machine substitution" reform trend. They combine robotics technology with computer integrated manufacturing systems to develop applications, and with the effective cooperation of high-precision materials and components, they gradually realize the automation problem of shipbuilding production.
The United States has been developing biomass since the 1960s.produced commercial types of
industrial robots. In the 1980s, its robot technology achieved a breakthrough. Due to rapid development, robots were later listed as applicable technologies for shipyards. On this basis, new concepts of ships and their automated production, as well as technologies such as the forming and processing of hull curved panels controlled by robots, have been developed.
South Korea is one of the countries that has achieved remarkable results in the development of ship-based robots since the new century. At the beginning of this century, the South Korean government listed the development of a new generation of intelligent robots as a national project to promote economic growth. South Korea's three major shipyard companies extensively added robots to the original supply and demand, successfully upgrading ship products on the original basis. The scale of the ship robot market has also expanded from US$95 billion in 2003 to US$180 billion in 2010.
In addition, for the European Union, among its five framework plans to promote economic development, three are projects related to the research and development of robots. The goal of one program is to develop a capable welding robot suitable for closing shipyards; the goal of another program is to develop a lightweight robot that can weld, clean and paint in long and complex spaces; and the goal of the latter program is to It uses robots to automate 30% of the welding work in the shipyard and improve production efficiency by 10%.
For our country, although the application of robots related to shipbuilding is still in a blank stage, with the strategic adjustment of our country’s economic structure, the country is accelerating its progress from a large shipbuilding country to a powerful shipbuilding country. The desire to apply robot technology to accelerate the development of traditional shipbuilding industry toward automation, low cost, and energy saving is even more urgent. It is believed that the transformation and upgrading of my country's ships will be completed soon.
In this process, on the one hand, our country must seize the strategic development opportunities for robots in the shipbuilding industry; on the other hand, the shipyard companies themselves must be prepared for the application of robots. .
In terms of development opportunities, since 2011, the number of robots in our country has increased year by year, and now it has surpassed Japan to become the world's largest robot market. In this context, further opening up the use of intelligent robots is not only to save the shipbuilding industry in the short term, but also to improve corporate reputation and product quality in the long term. Therefore, from a strategic perspective, our country should regard robots as one of the important means of shipbuilding modernization, establish a firm belief in development, and formulate a good development plan.
Afterwards, as the main body of implementation, the shipyard itself must do a good job in relatedPreparatory work, such as actively exploring ship welding robots; solving the adaptive welding arc tracking problem; solving the assembly accuracy problem; and doing corresponding production design, technical management, personnel quality and related technical support.
In short, our country has all the foundations for the development of ship robots and has significant advantages in the process of realizing the intelligent upgrading and transformation of ships. As long as we seize the current good development opportunities and be ready to charge at all times We believe that our country's shipbuilding industry will soon grow from small to large, from weak to strong.
