At present, China’s logistics industry is trying to transform from labor to technology, from the traditional mode to modern, intelligent one, followed by the application and popularization of a variety of advanced technology and equipment. Nowadays, the application of intelligent robots with handling, palletizing, sorting and other functions has become an essential technology in the logistics industry.
Logistics robots are mainly used in warehouses, sorting centers, and in the transportation process and other scenarios, mainly to complete the loading and unloading, handling, storage, sorting and transportation and other related work. With the continuous expansion of the application scope of logistics robots, the market scale of the logistics robot industry is also continuing to expand, and more and more enterprises layout, and the market opportunities and challenges coexist.
Logistics robot industry chain:
The upstream of the logistics robot industry chain includes controller, servo motor, servo drive, calculator, sensors, terminal actuator, etc.; midstream for different kinds of logistics robots, including AGV handling robot, sorting robot, stacking robot, picking robot, AMR robot; downstream applications in e-commerce, express logistics, automobile manufacturing, electronic products, food and beverage, pharmaceutical manufacturing, metal processing and other fields.
1.AGV
AGV trolley, it is a high-performance intelligent transportation equipment, mainly used in the handling and movement of goods, has been widely used in various industries; AGV trolley high degree of automation, convenient operation; when a workshop link needs a certain auxiliary material, by the staff to input relevant information to the computer terminal to the central control room, by professional technicians to the computer instructions, under the cooperation of electronic control equipment, this instruction is finally accepted by AGV —— and send accessories to the corresponding location.
2.Stack robot
Can replace the manual cargo classification, handling and loading and unloading, especially instead of human carrying dangerous goods, such as radioactive substances, toxic substances, to ensure the life safety of workers. To achieve automation, intelligence, unmanned. In addition to replacing people to carry dangerous goods, palletizing robot efficiency is much higher than manual work. Therefore, the use of palletizing robots to achieve automatic production is an effective means to promote the development of enterprises.
3.Sorting robot
It is a robot with sensors, objective lenses and electronic optical systems that can quickly sort goods. It through sensors, objective lens, image recognition system and multi-function manipulator equipment, according to the image recognition system to identify the shape of items, manipulator grab items, in the designated position, through these equipment to achieve goods fast sorting, sorting items is the more complex link in the whole logistics link, often time-consuming. The automatic sorting robot can achieve 24 hours of continuous sorting; small area, high sorting efficiency, can reduce the labor cost by 70%; precision, efficiency, improve work efficiency, reduce the transportation cost.
The market size of Logistics Robots:
With the development of technology and the increase of demand, the research and development and application of logistics robots are gradually valued in the global scope. China’s logistics robot industry has maintained rapid growth, although its overall market is slightly smaller than industrial robots, it is growing faster. In 2021, China’s logistics robot market size reached 12.6 billion yuan, up 63.64% year on year, and is expected to further grow to 15 billion yuan in 2022.
1.AGV handling robot
With the advent of industry 4.0 era and the gradual maturity of artificial intelligence technology, AGV increases rapidly, and it is widely used in the automobile industry, home appliance manufacturing, e-commerce storage and logistics, tobacco and other fields. Thanks to the growing scale of China’s robot market, the scale of the Chinese AGV market has increased from 2.85 billion yuan in 2017 to 8.77 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 32.45%. With the development and maturity of AGV technology, there is still a huge space for AGV in the future. The market size is expected to reach 9.69 billion yuan in 2022.
2.Stack robot
As an important part of industrial robots, the market penetration rate of palletizing robot is constantly increasing. In recent years, the market size of China’s palletizing robots has shown a continuous growth trend. In 2020, the market size of China’s palletizing robots was 17.63 billion yuan, up 21.5% year on year. In the future, with the continuous development of domestic intelligent warehousing, logistics and other fields, China’s stacking robot market demand will continue to increase, and its market size is expected to expand rapidly. The market size is expected to reach 23.1 billion yuan in 2022, and the industry has broad development prospects.
Investment and financing of logistics robots:
The number of investment events in China’s logistics robot industry increased year by year from 2018 to 2021, and the number of investment events in 2021 was 72, increased 14 %from the previous year. As of September 2022, the number of investment events in China’s logistics robot industry was 46.
