As a manufacturing power, China's move from "manufacturing" to "intellectual creation" is an inevitable choice to keep up with the world trend, which is also the only opportunity for China's manufacturing industry to catch up with others. Xin Guobin, deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, once said that smart manufacturing is the key to China's manufacturing industry to keep up with the world's development trend and enhance its development quality. It firmly grasps this main direction and promotes the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and manufacturing. It has an important and far-reaching impact on consolidating the foundation of the real economy. When it comes to integration of "artificial intelligence and manufacturing", it is to increase the penetration rate of equipment automation and intelligent industrial robots in the industrial field.

　　 Under the general trend of manufacturing's upgrade and transformation to automation and intelligence, industrial robots have huged replacement space. It is expected that China's industrial robot market will maintain rapid growth in the next few years. At the same time, the national policy also strongly supported the industrial robot industry, which greatly promoted the vigorous development of the industrial robot market. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for domestic manufacturing companies. At the same time, under the encouragement of market space, the domestic automation and robotics industry have also achieved a series of development results.

　　 In 2017, the cumulative production of domestic industrial robots exceeded 130,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of 68.1%, of which 12,682 sets were produced in December, a month-on-month increase of 56.5%. Wande statistics show that among the more than 30 robotics companies, 17 companies have released 2017 annual performance forecasts, and their performance is generally good till January 25. The third-quarter, 2017 financial report released by four domestic robot manufacturers represented by Xinshida, Xinsong, Eston and Tusta showed that the average revenue of the company increased by 54.75%. Among them, Xinshida's operating income was 2.58 billion yuan, Xinsong's operating income was 1.677 billion yuan, and Eston and Topstar's operating income were 665 million yuan and 508 million yuan respectively. Success belongs to yesterday, 2018 has come, and industrial automation cooperations and robotics companies have to embark on a new journey, and the future is still a new opportunity and a new challenge.
