Now they all tend to work in an automated way. Good automation equipment has a great market prospect. Now in China, there is no strong patent concept in this respect. Generally, a new automation equipment has been imitated in about three years. Karl Automation can provide automation equipment system solutions
The automation equipment industry said that the recent order receiving situation was quite prosperous, mainly due to the lack of labor in the mainland and the continuous growth of labor costs, which led to the rapid increase in demand for automation equipment by large manufacturers such as semiconductors, solar energy and panels. It is understood that in the past, the change of old factory buildings into automatic production lines was not in line with the economic benefits, which made most manufacturers flinch. But now it seems that many large factories have adopted automation more and more. It is estimated that in the next few years, automation equipment manufacturers such as Yangcheng (3498) and Wanrun (6187) are expected to continue to benefit.
The automation equipment industry said that the wages in the mainland have been increasing recently, and now the time point to rely on cheap labor production in the mainland has passed. In addition, the labor problem in the mainland has continued to rise recently, which has also led to a significant increase in the willingness of Taiwanese companies to upgrade their automation equipment in the near future.
Since the establishment of automation equipment in enterprises will inevitably increase the operating costs, such as the need to purchase more new industrial computers and set up new automation equipment and production lines. Not only that, but also the need to build new factories to meet the economic benefits. Therefore, many old enterprises are also discouraged and unwilling to replace automation equipment at this time.
However, the automation equipment manufacturer said that once the automation equipment was installed, it could really improve the production efficiency of the factory and save more labor costs. For the factory that originally needed thousands of workers, after the installation of robots and automation equipment, it might only need dozens of workers to solve the problem. In this way, the company could save considerable labor costs. But for the company that installed automation equipment, At the initial stage, we must endure the pain of sudden increase in expenditure.
The automation equipment manufacturers said that at present, the panel and semiconductor manufacturers have begun to vigorously promote the concept of unmanned chemical plants, that is, they hope to reduce the labor cost as much as possible. For example, in order to improve the production yield, the semiconductor factory must fully use automation equipment in the dust-free room. As for the panel industry, because the size is getting larger and larger, it can no longer use manual handling as in the past, so it currently includes large size panels of more than 8.5 inches/10 inches, They are already using automatic conveying equipment to carry out the operation.
The automation equipment industry pointed out that once the old plant is to be converted into an automation plant, most companies believe that it is not economical. However, since the launch of many new plant plans in 2010, it is obvious that the planning proportion of automation plant has increased, which is enough to show that enterprises have listed automation equipment as a very important indicator in the planning of new plant in order to consider long-term layout.
In addition, due to the continuous development of various electronic products towards miniaturization and thinness in the future, the requirements for precision are increasingly high. Therefore, human assembly and processing alone cannot meet the company's needs, and more automation equipment must be used to implement it. This is also the main reason why Taiwan's automation equipment industry is very optimistic about the future operation.
