Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, Sept. 21 (reporter Gong Wen) Smart custom watches, garbage sorting, identification of irregular welds... A large wave of robots, digital workshops and more are attracting attention at the 21st China International Industry Fair. Outside the expo, an industrial robot system operation programming competition jointly held by nine cities in the Yangtze River Delta made people amazed. Industry insiders said that whether it is technology research and development or talent cultivation, the trend of "intelligent manufacturing" is surging.

It is understood that there are more than 100 cutting-edge technologies and products at the Expo, including intelligent dynamic logistics vehicles, xMate flexible robots, adaptive robotic arms, etc., involving artificial intelligence, machine tools, automation, robotics, industrial Internet, digital factories and other fields.

ABB Group, the Swiss industrial giant, attracted a lot of visitors to stop at the intelligent waste sorting exhibition area at the Expo. The reporter saw at the scene that this solution is composed of YuMi, a two-arm cooperative robot responsible for sorting, IRB1200, a small robot responsible for feeding, material transfer and intelligent tracking system, intelligent classification algorithm and the corresponding control system. The cloud-based production kanban shows YuMi pictures of garbage, and YuMi "learns" the types of garbage and sorts them into four categories of bins, with a high rate of successful sorting.

Japan's Yamazaki Mazak company launched a new laser processing machine at the Expo, which is equipped with the world's latest direct semiconductor laser (DDL) technology, the electro-optical conversion rate of up to 40%-50%, which significantly reduces the operating cost of equipment, can process all kinds of complex shapes of pipes, and has a high degree of automation.

Suzhou Elite Robot Co., LTD. Display of six-joint robot, with easy programming, fast installation, man-machine collaboration and safety and other characteristics, suitable for automotive, injection molding and 3C industry assembly, material testing, grinding and polishing.

The expo is crowded, and outside the expo is also attracting people's attention. Recently, 45 industrial robot system operation and programming players from 9 cities in the Yangtze River Delta launched a labor skills "big competition" in Shanghai University of Engineering Technology: simulated robot joint assembly, grasp different workpieces for split, combined assembly, real-time data transmission through three-dimensional warehouse and touch screen communication...

After a fierce competition, Zhou Thang Lin, a technician from Emerson Environment Optimization Technologies (Suzhou) Co., LTD., won the first place in the competition. "I majored in robotics in school, and now I am mainly responsible for the maintenance and operation programming of industrial robots in the factory." Zhou Thang Lin said that the biggest motivation for the competition was to come out to see more and learn more, and meet some "masters". Because with the application of robots more and more widely, the precision is getting higher and higher, "individual combat" can not keep up with the "intelligent manufacturing" trend in the Yangtze River Delta region, more industrial collaboration and talent exchange will be launched here. Lu Ming, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, said that as the integration of the Yangtze River Delta gradually deepens, the spatial structure and professional division of labor are becoming clearer. Relevant departments of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta have reached a consensus to strengthen the linkage among cities, parks and enterprises and enhance the innovation and competitiveness of "smart manufacturing", focusing on key industries such as high-end equipment.
