Southern Daily | Member Sun Zhiqiang: Speak up for the high-quality development of domestic industrial robots

time:2023年03月08日
Sun Zhiqiang suggested that we should focus on domestic alternative applications in the mid and high-end fields, give full play to our country's institutional and market advantages, work simultaneously on both the demand side and the supply side, accelerate the iterative process through market applications, accelerate breakthroughs in robot application technologies and solutions, and create a number of application scenarios and demonstration cases with independent intellectual property rights to achieve domestic alternatives in the mid and high-end fields.
Sun Zhiqiang, Chairman and President of Guangzhou Risong Intelligent Technology Holding Co., Ltd., was greatly encouraged and deeply excited.
 
For the first time, Sun Zhiqiang became a "recruit" as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. However, as a "veteran" who has struggled in the field of industrial robots for more than 20 years, and also a "veteran" representative of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress for two consecutive sessions, Sun Zhiqiang has continuously made a voice for the industry in the process of performing his duties.
 
This year, on the basis of in-depth research, Sun Zhiqiang brought forward a proposal to "break through the 'last mile' of domestic substitution in the mid to high-end field of robotics", hoping to promote the high-quality development of relevant industries in China through his own performance.
 


Change of identity and continuous performance of duties
 
On the eve of the opening of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the new members arrived in Beijing ahead of schedule for centralized training. "The training content includes both policy and theoretical knowledge learning and experience learning and sharing, which gave me a deeper understanding of how to perform my duties and responsibilities," Sun Zhiqiang said.

Previously, as a representative of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, Sun Zhiqiang paid more attention to the development of the robot industry in the province. His suggestions on strengthening investment in scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation, and promoting the growth of specialized, specialized, and new enterprises have been fully valued and adopted.
 
Sun Zhiqiang stated that becoming a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) has the opportunity to learn and communicate with outstanding peers on a higher platform. It is necessary to open up our horizons, observe the industry from a larger perspective, actively participate in politics, offer suggestions, tell a good story of high-quality development in Guangdong, and demonstrate the development advantages of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao.
 
"I am from the manufacturing industry, and I am also a private entrepreneur who has witnessed the vigorous development of emerging industries in Guangdong. I intend to seriously summarize and refine the development experience of relevant industries, and contribute ideas to high-quality development." Sun Zhiqiang revealed.
 
During this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, Sun Zhiqiang actively spoke out and proposed to promote the establishment of the China Robotics Association, organize the creation of a collaborative innovation mechanism of "industry, university, research, and financial policy", and promote the research of major topics and the implementation of key projects in the robot industry. "To be successful, we must be successful. I am looking for more members to jointly support my proposal," he said.
 
Create more domestic robot application scenarios
 
In Sun Zhiqiang's view, high-quality development inevitably requires the important support of high-end equipment manufacturing industry. The robot field in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry is a necessary means to promote automation and intelligence in the manufacturing industry.
 
In long-term practice and research, he observed that although domestic robots have made great progress, there are still some shortcomings.
 
"The domestic robot industry has a problem of being small and fragmented, with a large concentration in mid to low end applications. In mid to high-end applications such as the automotive industry, 3C electronics, rail transit, and aerospace, the 'last mile' of domestic robot replacement still needs to be broken through." Sun Zhiqiang analyzed that this is due to the late start of domestic robots, and there is indeed a certain gap in product performance; On the other hand, domestic robots lack demonstration applications in mid to high-end key areas, resulting in their inability to iteratively upgrade and improve the applicability of their products and technologies, making technological breakthroughs difficult.
 
This year's government work report proposes to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system. Focusing on key manufacturing industry chains, we will focus on high-quality resources to jointly promote key core technology breakthroughs.
 
In response, Sun Zhiqiang suggested that we should focus on domestic alternative applications in mid to high-end fields, give full play to China's institutional and market advantages, work simultaneously on both the demand side and the supply side, accelerate the iterative process through market applications, accelerate breakthroughs in robotics application technologies and solutions, and create a number of application scenarios and demonstration cases with independent intellectual property rights to achieve domestic alternatives in mid to high-end fields.
 
Reporter's Notes
Diligent in running and practical work first
 
Starting from a welding gun, introducing the first robotic welding automation production line in China, and now building a "chain leader" enterprise in the robotics industry, Sun Zhiqiang fully demonstrates the spirit of "diligence" and "practicality".
 
Be diligent in running. Before going to Beijing to participate in the conference, Sun Zhiqiang visited multiple cities in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and other provinces along the upstream and downstream of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry chain, and conducted in-depth research in enterprise workshops. Over 20 years of experience in the field of industrial robotics have given him deeper thinking and deeper concerns about the development of the industry.
 
Work first. During the interview with reporters, Sun Zhiqiang constantly emphasized: to make the enterprise better, learn more from excellent representative members. "By striving to make enterprises bigger and stronger, empowering industrial development with innovative technological forces, and feeding back society, it is my way of performing my duties and practicing social responsibility as a CPPCC member," he said.
