Foxconn launches "Million Robot Project" robot or will enter the photovoltaic production line

According to statistics, since 2002, the global demand for photovoltaic products has increased by about 50% per year. Despite the soaring demand, all kinds of sharp contradictions have become prominent with the development of the photovoltaic industry. As we all know, the manufacturing cost of photovoltaic panels has been high, so the unit cost of solar energy is much higher than ordinary energy. In addition, the yield of photovoltaic products has always been one of the problems that plague manufacturers. In recent years, the adjustment of the domestic photovoltaic industry has also caused the pressure on photovoltaic manufacturing enterprises to increase sharply. The idea of ​​an automated production line for the photovoltaic industry has gradually evolved into reality in such an environment. Foxconn announced that it will deploy 1 million industrial robots in the assembly plant in the next three years. This “million robot program” that touches the “neural” industry has focused more on the robot. For the prospect of robotic products, most people in the industry have given a positive response, on the grounds that the cost of robot production is fixed and the cost of labor in China is rising. Of course, the more important reason is the precision and consistency of the robot's movement during the production process, as well as the advantages in high-intensity repetitive work. In recent years, the rapid rise of the photovoltaic industry has also brought great impetus to the promotion of robot products in China. In the entire manufacturing process of the solar photovoltaic industry, robots have appeared. From the initial polysilicon ingots, to the rapid processing of wafers, to the final assembly of battery panels and battery modules, to the final testing phase, robotic products have begun to “penetrate” throughout the process. Zhu Pengkai, an engineer from Yingli Green Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yingli") equipment management department, said in an interview that in the photovoltaic module production line, robots are also expected to replace all manpower, helping the production line to achieve 100% unmanned operation. Costs and yield pressures are increasing year by year. According to statistics, since 2002, the global demand for photovoltaic products has increased by about 50% per year. Despite the soaring demand, all kinds of sharp contradictions have become prominent with the development of the photovoltaic industry. As we all know, the manufacturing cost of photovoltaic panels has been high, so the unit cost of solar energy is much higher than ordinary energy. In addition, the yield of photovoltaic products has always been one of the problems that plague manufacturers. In recent years, the adjustment of the domestic photovoltaic industry has also caused the pressure on photovoltaic manufacturing enterprises to increase sharply. The idea of ​​an automated production line for the photovoltaic industry has gradually evolved into reality in such an environment. As a manufacturer of high-quality, high-reliability photovoltaic modules, Yingli's photovoltaic manufacturing process covers the entire industry chain of the photovoltaic industry, from polysilicon preparation to photovoltaic module packaging, while using world-leading production technology and highly automated production equipment. Among them, the introduction of robots has also greatly increased the competitiveness of Yingli in the industry. According to Zhu Pengkai, Yingli has been using robots in production lines since 2005, most of which are from well-known companies such as ABB, FANUC, and Muse. "At that time, robots were used in the process of frame-laying and welding. Some related production lines have achieved semi-automation," recalls Zhu Pengkai. With the increase in labor costs in recent years, Yingli's attitude toward robot applications is also more open. It is understood that some of the robots have begun to "make a big fist" in the product testing process that did not have too many applications before. “In the solar module process, most of Yingli’s production lines have been unmanned, and there is not much silicon and battery processing involved before, and the application prospects of robots are also very clear,” Zhu Pengkai said. “Laying The unit is still manually operated. In the process of connecting the batteries, the operator also uses manual soldering irons. These processes will be replaced by dedicated robots in the future.” In addition, he revealed that in the final test unit, Robot products have also begun to be applied in the picking of products. In this unit, the application potential of robot products is also huge. As mentioned by Dr. Gu Chunyuan, head of the Discrete Automation and Motion Control Business Unit of ABB North Asia and China, the price of the robot is reasonable and the maintenance cost is not very expensive. By applying robots, the utilization rate of the machine itself is increased, and the investment efficiency of heavy equipment is also improved, which indirectly reduces manufacturing costs for customers. In other words, when using a robot, the user must have an overall concept. Therefore, in the entire life cycle of the photovoltaic production line, the emergence of robots not only highlights its own value, but also the value of users.
