Robots lending hand to China's manufacturing transformation

China Daily  

An arc welding robot is displayed at the World Robot Conference 2015 in Beijing, on Nov 24, 2015. Once the "world's factory," China is experiencing slower growth, especially in the manufacturing sector amid tepid global demand. The government rolled out an ambitious plan last year to upgrade the manufacturing sector to move upward along the global industrial chain and boost economic growth. The application of new industrial systems, including robotics, will help improve enterprises' productivity by up to 25 percent, creating added value worth 6 trillion yuan, according to recent research by Boston Consulting Group. Since 2013, China has bought more industrial robots each year than any other country and is expected to be the world's biggest operator of industrial robots in 2018, according to the International Federation of Robotics.
