With the decline of the population fertility rate and the extension of life expectancy, the aging trend is severe in many countries around the world. If the labor force is reduced, it will hinder economic development. Among them, Asia and Japan are typical representatives of the aging countries, to improve the population structure and make up for The labor force is insufficient, and all countries in the world have relevant measures, such as encouraging births.
Germany and Japan, the two economically developed countries with increasingly severe labor force, are manufacturing powers. Among them, Germany, the world's leading industrial manufacturing power, is the economic engine. Following the digital revolution, Industry 4.0 has now become a label for Germany. It is regarded as the “superior student†in the German manufacturing field. Its Amberg factory is the most advanced digital factory in Europe and the world. 75% of the production process is automated. The plant's production capacity has increased 8 years ago. Times.
As one of the most aging countries in the world, Germany's labor shortage will hinder economic growth. In the context of aging, the business community is highly enthusiastic about Industry 4.0. There are data showing that 46% of German companies are using “Industry 4.0â€. According to an earlier research report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, by 2020, German industrial companies will invest 40 billion euros a year in the "Industry 4.0" R&D application. More than 80% of companies will fully digitize their industry chains in the next few years.
Japan is the country with the most aging population. Under the background of severe labor shortage and aging population, Japanese SMEs have begun to increase capital expenditures. In order to make "robots" become the labor force, Japan is not only a large robot manufacturing country, but also a service type. Robot applications are also at the forefront of the world. Japan has also announced a series of "Robot Strategies", which use robots extensively in manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture, services, medical care, etc., with a focus on the new era of robotics.
Especially in the case of severe aging, the importance of medical care has become increasingly prominent in order to cope with social problems such as caring for the elderly and children due to aging, and to provide service robots as "laborers" to provide services to Japan. We will develop robots as an aging solution and solve the problem of insufficient labor.
In the retail industry, Japan's Rosen and Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd. are conducting trials of "unmanned" convenience stores, a special function shopping basket. When you check out, you can put the basket on the automation counter. Panasonic will use the smart shopping basket. Named "collecting money robot."
In addition, the Henn-na robot hotel in Japan should not be unfamiliar. The hotel waiter is mainly based on robotic clothes. Since the robot hotel and restaurant are in the scenic spot, there are currently more than 200 robots deployed. It is called the “robot kingdomâ€. There are 10 human employees who supervise robot work to handle emergencies at any time. In addition, the robot service not only attracts a large number of tourists, but also saves operating costs and improves work efficiency. It has also won praise from the Japanese government.
Japan's Softbank has also launched a Pepper humanoid robot that can be used to guide or care for elderly patients. In the view of Japan's Softbank Sun Justice, the artificial intelligence singularity is coming, and more funds are now being invested in the field of artificial intelligence. An investment fund with a scale of up to 100 billion US dollars will be one of the largest sources of investment funds for the technology industry in the next 10 years.
Although robots can't solve the problem of aging in many countries, the application of robots can solve the problem of labor shortage. Robots will become the global employment force in the labor market. In addition, the aging of the population is accelerating globally, and service robots such as pension and child care are quietly emerging. The related robot industry will also become the next blue ocean.
Draw-wire sensors of the wire sensor series measure with high linearity across the entire measuring range and are used for distance and position measurements of 100mm up to 20,000mm. Draw-wire sensors from LANDER are ideal for integration and subsequent assembly in serial OEM applications, e.g., in medical devices, lifts, conveyors and automotive engineering.
