Is The Era Of Machines And People Grabbing Rice Bowl Really?

In the context of rising labor costs, all walks of life are actively carrying out automated pformation, automated production has become an inevitable trend in the future.

In October this year, there were rumors that "Foxconn 40 thousand robots will make 60 thousand workers lose their jobs". After a reporter's investigation, it was found that tens of thousands of layoffs were not true, but the wide application of intelligent robots has become an irreversible trend.

At present, the second Guangdong International Robot and Intelligent Equipment Fair is being held in Dongguan.

According to the world clothing shoes and hats net, Dongguan from September to October 2016, 2014

A total of 1485 special fund projects are reported, and 87 thousand workers are expected to be reduced.

Does this mean that the era of machines and people grabbing jobs has really come?

Automation displaces 87 thousand jobs in Dongguan

According to the world clothing shoes and hat network, the "machine replacement" project is mainly concentrated in labor intensive industries, including electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, electronic information.

As well as packaging and printing industry.

Since the state proposed "made in China 2025", as a big manufacturing city in the Pearl River Delta, Dongguan has been the most resolute city in automation upgrading.

In order to cope with the rising labor costs and further promote the pformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry in Dongguan, in 2014, Dongguan issued the "implementation of opinions on speeding up the development of the industrial robot intelligent equipment industry" in Dongguan, the series of "machine replacement" policies in Dongguan to promote the enterprise's "machine replacement" action plan (2014-2016 years) and Dongguan's "machine replacement" special fund management measures, and announced that in the 3 years of 2014~2016, the annual budget of 200 million yuan was used to subsidize the technological pformation of automation equipment in Dongguan enterprises.

According to the world clothing shoes and hat net, Dongguan's "machine substitution" is mainly promoted in the industries, such as electronics, machinery, food, textile, clothing, furniture, footwear, chemical industry, logistics and so on.

According to the latest statistical data disclosed by reporters by the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of letters, the total number of special fund projects for machine replacement has been 1485 as of October this year since the start of the "machine replacement" special fund declaration. In September 2014 this year, the total investment was about 22 billion yuan, and the number of new equipment and equipment was about 48 thousand (sets), all of which were ranked first in Guangdong province.

The relevant person in charge of the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of letters told reporters that the project involved five pillar industries and four characteristic industries. Among them, the two pillar industries of electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing and electronic information manufacturing industry accounted for 35.4% and 30.8% respectively, while those in the characteristic industries accounted for 6.9% of the most items in the package printing industry.

After the above "machine replacement" Declaration project is completed, labor productivity has increased by an average of 1.7 times, at the same time, it can reduce employment by about 87 thousand people, and the average cost per unit product has dropped by 11.1%.

All walks of life are actively engaged in automation upgrading.

Put forward in China

2025, after the development strategy, all walks of life in the past two years are actively carrying out automatic pformation.

In the home appliance industry, Haier, Midea and GREE three giants have been making efforts to automate the production workshop in the past two years.

Among them, the air conditioning division of the United States group began to widely use all kinds of three axes and four axis robots in various workshops as early as 2010.

It is understood that in 2014, the annual sales of air conditioner in the United States increased from 50 billion yuan in 2011 to 70 billion yuan, and the number of workers dropped from 50 thousand to 26 thousand.

In the 2018 year of the air conditioning scheme, the number of workers dropped to 20 thousand.

The US side said it plans to reinvest 5 billion of the US in 2016-2020 years to upgrade production automation.

Last year's annual report showed that the number of in-service employees was 93299, 14821 fewer than in 2014.

GREE electric last year's earnings report also showed that the number of incumbency employees was 70561, a decrease of 858 compared with the previous year.

Not long ago, GREE electric also announced that the company's salary increase of 1000 yuan was also mentioned in the paper.

In order to upgrade the manufacturing industry, the United States and GREE have even crossed the field of robotics.

Among many listed companies in Dongguan, 300083.SZ is a typical representative of automation pformation.

Since 2014, Jinsheng has launched a large-scale "machine replacement" project.

Last July, Jinsheng precision became one of the pilot enterprises of the first demonstration project of Intelligent Manufacturing in 2015 by the Ministry of industry and information technology.

It is understood that the headquarters in Changan town Jinsheng precision is a mobile phone precision components as the core business of the company.

Jin Sheng Precision related person in charge in November 30th said in an interview with reporters, the company's intelligent manufacturing program preliminary results made the company's product quality yield increased from 95% to 98%, the product development cycle shortened by 30%, capacity increased by 15%.

"If it's intelligent manufacturing, the number of employees will be reduced.

(but this piece) has not been produced in mass production yet, so it is difficult to measure and reduce data directly.

The relevant person in charge told reporters.

In addition, according to the world clothing and shoe net, the mobile phone manufacturers HUAWEI and ZTE's production automation pformation are also being carried out.

The age of machine and human being grabbing rice bowl has arrived?

Under the background of rising labor costs in China, the automatic upgrading of machine substitutions has become an irreversible trend in Chinese factories.

So, has the machine robbed people of their jobs?

Jiang Lin, an economics professor at the south of the Five Ridges College of Zhongshan University, said, "in the short term, we can not talk about machines and people grabbing jobs."

In his view, although the national level "made in China 2025", but the Pearl River Delta enterprises "machine substitutions" fuse is more than a few years before the shortage of labor, "is forced to pform the automation."

He believes that at present, the Pearl River Delta and even the Yangtze River Delta, labor shortage phenomenon still exists.

As mentioned earlier, "machine substitution" has been in Dongguan for more than two years. What is the current situation of employment in Dongguan?

Dongguan City Human Resources Bureau official told reporters, according to the real name system employment registration management system statistics, by the end of October this year, the real name registration system employed 5 million 285 thousand and 900 people, down 3.14%, down 0.35%.

The total amount of employment decreased slightly, and the scale of employment was generally stable.

From the perspective of seeking people, the supply and demand of the market has eased, but the rate of seeking more than 1 is still high, indicating that the overall employment is still in short supply.

According to the statistics of Dongguan Human Resources Bureau, from the situation of the rework after the Spring Festival festival this year, there is still a gap in the post employment of Dongguan enterprises.

In Jiang Lin's view, the "machine substitutions" in the Pearl River Delta are still at the low end of the manipulator replacement, and can only replace some workers who repeat work.

He believes that when the domestic robot industry develops to the middle and high-end intelligent robots, it can be said that "robot robbed rice bowl". "Even then, even the position of lawyer can be replaced."

At present, intelligent manufacturing is the only way to upgrade China's manufacturing industry, and automation pformation is the only way for intelligent manufacturing.

Jiang Lin believes that robots eroding human work will also enable humans to emancipate themselves from repetitive work and engage in higher intelligence.

For example, workers in the production line need to develop labor skills and become maintenance managers of the manipulator.

According to the world clothing and shoe net, there are still many problems and challenges in the process of "machine replacement".

For example, the shortage of automation or high-end talent also seriously hamper the automation upgrading of domestic SMEs.
