New Record: One Million Robots Work in Car Industry Worldwide
新纪录:全球汽车业机器人运营存量达100万台

Frankfurt, Mar 22, 2023 — The automotive industry has the largest number of robots working in factories around the world: Operational stock hit a new record of about one million units. This represents about one third of the total number installed across all industries.

法兰克福,2023年3月22日——汽车工业在全球工厂中拥有最多的机器人:运营存量达到了约100万台的新纪录。这占所有行业安装总量的三分之一左右。

“The automotive industry effectively invented automated manufacturing,” says Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics. “Today, robots are playing a vital role in enabling this industry’s transition from combustion engines to electric power. Robotic automation helps car manufacturers manage the wholesale changes to long-established manufacturing methods and technologies.”

国际机器人联合会主席Marina Bill表示:“汽车工业有效地发明了自动化制造。如今,机器人在推动该行业从内燃机向电动化过渡方面发挥着至关重要的作用。机器人自动化有助于汽车制造商管理对长期建立起来的制造方法和技术进行大规模变革。”

Robot density in automotive
汽车领域中的机器人密度

Robot density is a key indicator which illustrates the current level of automation in the top car producing economies: In the Republic of Korea, 2,867 industrial robots per 10,000 employees were in operation in 2021. Germany ranks in second place with 1,500 units followed by the United States counting 1,457 units and Japan with 1,422 units per 10,000 workers.

机器人密度是说明主要汽车生产经济体当前自动化水平的一个关键指标。2021年,韩国每万名工人中有2867台工业机器人在运行。德国以每万名工人1500台排名第二,随后是美国的1457台和日本的1422台。

The world´s biggest car manufacturer, China, has a robot density of 772 units, but is catching up fast: Within a year, new robot installations in the Chinese automotive industry almost doubled to 61,598 units in 2021- accounting for 52% of the total 119,405 units installed in factories around the world.

中国作为全球最大的汽车制造国,机器人密度仅为772台,但正在快速追赶:在2021这一年之内,中国汽车行业新安装的机器人几乎翻倍至6万1598台,占全球工厂总安装量11万9405台的52%。

Electric vehicles drive automation
电动汽车推动自动化

Ambitious political targets for electric vehicles are forcing the car industry to invest: The European Union has announced plans to end the sale of air-polluting vehicles by 2035. The US government aims to reach a voluntary goal of 50% market share for electric vehicle sales by 2030 and all new vehicles sold in China must be powered by “new energy” by 2035. Half of them must be electric, fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid – the remaining 50%, hybrid vehicles.

雄心勃勃的政治目标正促使整个汽车行业投资于电动化:欧盟已宣布计划在2035年前停止销售空气污染型车辆;美国政府旨在通过自愿目标,在2030年前将电气化交通市场份额提高到50%;到2035年,在中国销售的所有新车必须由“新能源”驱动,其中一半必须是纯电、燃料电池或插电式混合动力车辆,剩下的50%是混合动力车辆。

Most automotive manufacturers who have already invested in traditional “caged” industrial robots for basic assembling are now also investing in collaborative applications for final assembly and finishing tasks. Tier-two automotive parts suppliers, many of which are SMEs, are slower to automate fully. Yet, as robots become smaller, more adaptable, easier to program and less capital-intensive this is expected to change.

大多数投资于传统“笼子式”工业机器人进行基本装配的汽车制造商,现在也在投资于协作式应用,用于最终装配和精加工任务。二级汽车零部件供应商,其中许多是中小企业,在完全自动化方面的速度较慢。不过随着机器人变得更小,适应性更强,更容易编程和资本密集度更低,这种情况有望得到改变。
