Chapter 202 Taking a breath of air, Cao Yang realized that he had been careless.

Japanese breakfast is very good.

Although Cao Yang ate a lot last night, he went to the hotel's buffet restaurant early in the morning to taste local delicacies.

What impressed him most was that there were several people in charge of making breakfast, all of whom were grandma-level figures.

The kind of grandma who is at least seventy years old, maybe even eighty years old.

This discovery still surprised him.

Are Japanese people already this way?

Grandma in her 70s or 80s is still working?

In a few decades, will China become like this?

With all kinds of messy things in his mind, Cao Yang followed the troops to the World Robot Conference.

As soon as you enter, you can feel the warm atmosphere.

Naturally, Cao Yang was in no mood to think about other messy things.

Unlike some exhibitions in later generations where the number of exhibitors is greater than the number of customers or visitors, this World Robot Conference not only attracted hundreds of professional robot manufacturers to participate in the exhibition, but also many automobile industries.

Personnel from the medical industry, food industry and other fields participated.

Coupled with some local people in Kyoto, the entire venue was quite lively.

Even during the process of going to the Nanshan booth, Cao Yang met several teams of beautiful girls playing cosplay.

The atmosphere was definitely created to be very lively.

"Robots are very popular in Japan."

"I think half of the people participating in the exhibition are ordinary people."

As a professional, Li Shigui naturally looks at problems from a different perspective.

Whether a certain industry in a country develops well or not sometimes has a lot to do with the atmosphere.

For example, animation has a very strong atmosphere in Japan, and its development is naturally very good.

"Japanese people often have their own uniqueness in making precision parts and are better at striving for excellence."

"It just so happens that robots are such a thing that pursues excellence."

Cao Yang's understanding of the overall situation in Japan is definitely no lower than that of Li Shigui and Mi Ying.

However, precisely because of this, he paid great attention to the development of equipment during the development of Nanshan.

Because the equipment cannot be developed, if we have to buy everything by then, it will be impossible to have core competitiveness.

When the time comes when people try to choke you, it won't be that easy.

When equipment develops, a series of materials and parts will have a foundation for development and the possibility of becoming stronger.

Because these equipment can not only be used in Nanshan, but can also be sold to outsiders, allowing this industry to develop along with it.

"Mr. Cao, many companies will hold their own product launches this morning. The organizers have shared the main event schedules of each company with everyone, and try to stagger the time as much as possible."

Soon, Nanshan and his group arrived at their exhibition hall.

Li Shigui took over a list from the employees who came to the scene in advance, which roughly listed the schedule of each company's press conference.

"Since many manufacturers are holding new product launches this morning, let's just wait until the afternoon."

"Especially the demonstration of the new robot will be discussed in the afternoon."

Cao Yang came here to compete, and naturally hoped to attract more viewers and media during the Nanshan Robot Conference.

That way it can have the greatest publicity effect.

Since everyone thinks the morning is good, he chooses the afternoon.

"In the afternoon, some media may have left the exhibition."

Li Shigui reminded him from the side.

These media also come with missions.

Often I finish my tasks in the morning and then leave in the afternoon.

As for whether they will return to their respective companies or move around freely, only they themselves know.

"It doesn't matter. Whether the media reports or not is not the most important thing. The important thing is to let the customers who come to the conference see how powerful we are."

"When the time comes, they will naturally help us publicize it."

Cao Yang was full of confidence, but Li Shigui didn't want to dwell on anything anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "How about we go to other exhibition halls in the morning to see what the latest robots released by competitors are like?"

When participating in an exhibition, in addition to promoting your own products, it is also very important to understand the dynamics of your competitors.

“Go and see!”

"Know thyself, ever-victorious!"

"After understanding the opponent's situation, our research on the next robot will be more targeted."

…

"Mr. Cao, this is FANUC's exhibition hall. What they released today is the latest Spirit series robot."

Li Shigui took Cao Yang and Mi Ying around the exhibition hall.

Then he took this opportunity to fully demonstrate his professional knowledge in front of Cao Yang.

As long as Mi Ying simply translates what the other party said at the press conference, he can explain the past situation of the other party's robots more clearly.

Although the information he possesses may not necessarily be the latest information about his opponent, it is enough to clear up Cao Yang's knowledge.

"Although FANUC was hit hard by us in China, their strength is still there."

"Just like this Spirit robot, it is a high-performance robot with full degrees of freedom. It has a high degree of freedom and flexibility and can perform various complex tasks."

"It uses FANUC's unique joint drive technology, which can achieve extremely high degrees of freedom and precision."

"In addition to the automotive industry, Spirit series robots are also used in aerospace, electronics, medicine and other industries, and can perform a variety of high-precision tasks, such as assembly, welding, spraying and inspection, etc."

In front of professionals, Cao Yang did not pretend to be big, but listened carefully to Li Shigui's introduction to him.

"In this exhibition hall now, Yaskawa Electric is displaying their AXIS series robots."

"AXIS series robots are also multi-degree-of-freedom robots and are mainly used in industrial automation, logistics, medical and other fields."

"It uses Yaskawa Electric's unique control technology and sensor technology to achieve a high degree of flexibility and precision."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Cao, I think the company may need to consider arranging personnel to research sensors in the future."

"Otherwise, if we have been relying on outsourcing, we will not have any advantage in price, and our technology will not be higher than those of these Japanese companies."

"After all, Japanese companies are world-leading in making sensors."

Li Shigui took this opportunity to give Cao Yang a suggestion.

He is now the deputy director of the Robotics Division, and naturally hopes that Nanshan Robot can develop and grow.

Although Nanshan has now mastered the technology of several large parts on robots, such as bearings, CNC systems and motors, a robot does not only have these three parts.

In the future, more and more robots will use a large number of sensors.

Otherwise, there are many functions that simply cannot be implemented.

"Sensors must be developed, but the properties of this thing are more like electronic components. We need to do it step by step."

Not to mention sensors, but also things like chips and memory, Cao Yang wants to do it all.

But this naturally requires a process and an opportunity.

"Indeed, the company has quite a lot of research and development projects now, and it will be possible to do more after a while."

Li Shigui saw that Cao Yang had no objection, so his goal was achieved.

There is no way he would just mention it and Cao Yang would just do it!

"Mr. Cao, the next thing we see is Kuka of Germany. This company has been widely used by both Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen. We also have direct relations with them on welding robots.

competition."

"Kuka is a German robot manufacturing company. Its most famous robot product is the Lion series of robots."

"The Lion series robot is a multi-degree-of-freedom robot, mainly used in manufacturing and logistics industries. It uses KUKA's unique robot control technology and sensor technology to achieve a high degree of flexibility and precision."

"However, the price of German robots is too high. I think not only will they not be able to beat us, but even Japanese companies will be able to continue to squeeze out their share in the future."

Obviously, Li Shigui is not particularly optimistic about Kuka's future.

What you make is not unique in the world. If the price is so expensive, there will definitely be fewer users.

"If we want to enter the European market in the future, we will inevitably have to compete with KUKA. At that time, those customers will not only look at the price. The robotics division will also need to buy a few KUKA robots and study them carefully to target their selling points.

Fight back."

Cao Yang naturally knew Kuka's name.

He even knew that Kuka was later acquired by Midea.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, for the world's mainstream robot companies, we have assigned dedicated people to study their products, conduct disassembly analysis and benchmarking."
