Fan Cheng Save the building industry with robots!

In recent years, with the continuous development of domestic urbanization, the construction industry has also ushered in development opportunities under this influence. However, factors such as aging, dirty and tired in the traditional construction industry are "killing" construction workers.
Once a hybrid 3D printing robot helped European industrial parts manufacturers improve their work efficiency by 40%. (click to view the video details) this provides an idea for robots to help the construction industry. The development of the construction industry has been further accelerated day by day. In this process, the robot, as a new productivity and source power, has also increased the deepening integration with the construction industry due to the increasingly extensive application. The frequent emergence of construction robots not only meets the new needs of market development, but also makes a significant contribution to the transformation and upgrading of automation and intelligence in the construction field.
Aging, dirty and poor "kill" construction workers
As we all know, the construction industry has always been a typical labor-intensive industry, in which construction workers are an indispensable and important existence. However, in recent years, due to the continuous changes of demographic dividend, labor cost and labor cultural level, Chinas construction workers gradually have some problems in quantity and quality, which makes the development of Chinas construction industry increasingly unable to meet the needs of the times.
According to the 2019 migrant workers monitoring and survey report previously released by the National Bureau of statistics, the average age of migrant workers in China has reached 40.8 years old, and migrant workers over 50 account for 24%At the same time, the proportion of migrant workers aged 16-30 continued to decline for five years. These data all show that the aging trend of Chinas construction workers has become increasingly prominent, and the polarization gap is widening.
In this context, it is becoming more and more difficult for construction companies and construction sites to recruit workers, and the possibility of recruiting high-quality young and middle-aged workers is becoming lower and lower. Coupled with the current declining demographic dividend, the continuous improvement of labor quality and the continuous deterioration of the working environment, fewer and fewer people are willing to "move bricks", and the problems of recruitment, retention and expensive recruitment in the construction industry have accelerated.
So, as construction workers are slowly "killed" by age, cost and environment, how can we make up for the continuous lack of this part of labor force in the future? Who should help repair, sell and manage the house in the future? There is no doubt that the answer given by the construction industry is robot! Up to now, including country garden, many real estate companies in China have begun to introduce construction robots.
"Machine replacement" launched an all-round attack to save the construction industry
In the eyes of these real estate enterprises, robots bring great value by replacing or assisting construction workers. On the one hand, construction robots bring more automatic, intelligent and standardized construction methods, which have more advantages in efficiency, simplicity and quality; On the other hand, the replacement / assistance of robot for manual work also saves costs and ensures the safety of operation.
In addition, the greatest value of construction robot is undoubtedly its full adaptation to various working environments. It is reported that at present, construction robots have initially developed into a huge family of robots, including surveying and mapping, wall building, construction, steel beam welding, concrete spraying, construction protection, ground laying, decoration, cleaning, tunnel excavation, demolition and so on, basically covering all links of the building.
Moreover, construction workers do not need to worry about being robbed of their jobs by robots. Because the construction robot only undertakes the hard work of "dangerous, complicated, dirty and heavy", liberates the workers from it, and allows everyone to invest in more valuable and easier posts. In other words, construction robots are of great significance not only to real estate developers, but also to ordinary construction workers.
In short, at present, Chinas construction industry is large but not excellent, the contribution rate of science and technology is not very high, and the low degree of digitization and intelligence has become a major obstacle to the development of the construction industry to high quality. In this context, it is urgent to expand digital technology and intelligent means to empower the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, and a comprehensive attack with the help of robots is undoubtedly an effective way to save the construction industry.
Construction robots are in the ascendant and the future remains to be explored
Of course, at present, China is not in the leading position in the competition of construction robots. Including Japan, Australia, South Korea, the United States and Switzerland, they have already made achievements in the development of construction robots, and each has its own advantages in technology. In contrast, Chinas construction robots started late, developed slowly, and there is a certain gap. The industry is in the ascendant and has a long way to go in the future.
In this context, Chinas construction robots need to solve three problems if they want to achieve mature development and catch up from behind:
First, in terms of technology, at present, the intelligent level of construction robots in China is not high, the human-computer interaction ability is insufficient, and the integration with AR / VR, AI and other technologies is not enough. In the future, we need to make breakthroughs in robot ontology and related supporting technologies. At the same time, the existing construction robots in the market are only applicable to the ground. In order to meet the building trend of high-rise and low-rise in the future, the scope of application needs to be expanded.
The second is in terms of norms. At present, Chinas product standards and industry norms for construction robots are not perfect, and standards and norms are an important threshold and key component of industry development. Only when they are perfect can we create a healthy and good development environment for construction robots. Based on this, China needs to further strengthen the construction in terms of product standards, industry norms and service supervision in the future.
Third, in terms of talents, the development of robots cannot be separated from talents as support. Whether it is design, manufacturing, production, maintenance, operation and maintenance, it needs high-quality talents to guarantee. For construction robot, it needs professional compound talents with robot knowledge and construction field knowledge to support. Therefore, in the future, China still needs to start with universities and enterprises to strengthen the cultivation of talents.
