The development of the hottest storage robot is bl

The development of warehousing robots is still far behind, and it still needs a lot of work to promote the industry to mature.

attracted by the huge market scale, the increasing number of entrants also makes the market competition in the field of warehousing robots more difficult. However, in general, warehousing and logistics robots are still emerging industries, and their development is still in the initial stage. With the rapid expansion of the industry, some potential safety hazards have also been further highlighted

with the booming development of express delivery and e-commerce industries, as the record of order business volume continues to refresh and the demographic dividend gradually disappears, in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, giant enterprises have begun to increase automation and intelligent upgrading, and the development of the logistics industry continues to accelerate on the path of Technology intensive transformation

unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned warehouses and other technologies are emerging in endlessly, and the scale of logistics robots is becoming larger and larger. According to the 2018 national logistics operation data released by the China Federation of logistics and purchasing recently, although the growth rate of the national total logistics in 2018 fell slightly, the demand structure continued to be optimized, and the development of intelligent logistics such as unmanned warehouse, Internet transportation, logistics cargo tracing and so on was still accelerating

it is worth mentioning that the national logistics robot working group was also officially established in December last year, mainly responsible for the preparation and revision of national standards for logistics robots. By 2019, SF issued an announcement on changing some of the raised capital investment projects at the beginning of the year, saying that in order to intellectualize and digitize logistics, nearly 400million yuan of research and development investment will be added. In 2019, it will continue to invest in smart map and UAV transportation research and development projects

1 but at the end of the long-term performance month, cainiaolo announced that its first IOT robot distribution center in China was opened in Nanjing. At the beginning of this month, cainiaolo's first unmanned car future park in China was opened in Chengdu. In terms of JD logistics, jd.com also said a few days ago that it would build the first 5g intelligent logistics demonstration park in Shanghai. Nowadays, with the promotion of various parties and the support of capital, the unmanned transformation of the logistics industry is accelerating

among them, as far as warehousing and logistics robots are concerned, their market popularity has been rising, and capital has a great preference for this field. It is understood that in 2017, China's logistics robots completed a total of 42 financing events, including 34 warehousing robots, with a total financing amount of more than 1billion yuan. Since November last year, the capital has invested in about 20 technology logistics platforms, of which 15 are related to storage robot service providers, accounting for 75%. The total financing amount is nearly 2billion yuan, twice the total financing amount in 2017

at the same time, this field has also received strong support from national policies. Last year, the Ministry of science and Technology issued guidelines for the declaration of key special projects such as smart machines and multi curve comparators in the national key research and development plan to further support the development of robot enterprises. According to tractica, a market research company, by 2021, the global shipment of warehousing and logistics robots will surge from 40000 in 2016 to 620000, and the market revenue of the industry will also increase from $1.9 billion in 2016 to $22.4 billion

attracted by the huge market scale, the increasing number of entrants also makes the market competition in the field of storage robots more difficult. However, in general, warehousing and logistics robots are still emerging industries, and their development is still in the initial stage. With the rapid expansion of the industry, some potential safety hazards have also been further highlighted

as one of the enterprises that deployed robotics in the early stage, a robot accident occurred in Amazon warehouse last December, causing 24 Amazon employees to be sent to hospital for treatment. In February this year, a fire also broke out in the fully automatic three-dimensional warehouse of ocado, a British fresh e-commerce company, such as aluminum magnesium alloy, plastic and composite materials, resulting in a direct loss of US $58million, and the overall loss is expected to exceed US $400million

the occurrence of this series of accidents is constantly triggering people's concerns about the robot warehouse. In addition, in terms of the current development level of storage robots in China, we still need to rely on a large number of imports in core parts, and the development of the industrial chain is not yet mature. Many enterprises need to continue to strengthen brand building. Moreover, the relevant standards and specifications in the field of storage robots are also in urgent need of improvement, and all parties still have a lot of work to do on the way to promote the maturity of the industry
