Dongguan workers: challenges and opportunities, but hunger.
With the introduction of a number of new intelligent machinery production equipment in the factory, Huang Xin, a 27 year old mechanic, quit his job and decided to find another way. A few months ago, he needed 600 employees to work together in the grinding shop. Nowadays, a robot manipulator can replace 6-8 workers, and only 50 technicians can operate and supervise. "At that time, the wages were 3 or 4 thousand yuan, (work) year long 5 or 6 thousand pieces, to become the group leader more." According to Huang Xin, a few years ago, some traditional handicraftsmen like him were still very popular. But the "machine substitutions" have been launched, which greatly reduced the demand for ordinary workers in Dongguan manufacturing enterprises, and the demand for robot technicians began to grow vigorously. According to data from a Dongguan talent website, the number of robots posted on the platform is 645, equivalent to about 3 times as much as the same period last year. "The next step is to do some odd jobs and learn something like a robot operation. It's a challenge and a chance. You can't change your stomach without changing it." When asked about Huang Xin's next plan, he said so.
Industry personage: the workshop will tend to be unmanned, and the ordinary workers agree with the technical workers in the transition technology and service of a manufacturing enterprise in Guangdong. According to his introduction, since the mechanized equipment has been launched, the bad rate of product has dropped from over 25% to less than 5%, and the production capacity has increased from more than 7500 to 22 thousand per person per person per month. According to his plan, in the next two years, he will add 1000 machine hands to the enterprise. After the "machine replacement" program is completed, the entire backstage operation personnel will not exceed 200 people, and 80% of the process will be unmanned. "In the long run, large-scale replacement of traditional mechanic by machinery is a general trend." The person in charge said.
If the amount of labour is reduced, will the unemployment rate of manufacturing workers rise? The person in charge believes that the number of robot technicians in circulation is very small at present. If the traditional mechanic can learn new knowledge, it will be well developed to the robot mechanic. With the increase of capacity, it is bound to leave a small gap in the sales and service sectors, and those non - technical workers are also a good choice.
Education workers: a large number of traditional skilled workers have enrolled in online learning.
The voice coming from the education industry also provides evidence for the trend of "machine substitution". According to the state service system, a person in charge of the branch of the Hongcheng Learning Center, a branch of Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, the proportion of technical workers' consulting network learning has increased continuously in the last 2 years, which has surpassed the momentum of college graduates and white-collar workers in the workplace.
"The reason for their study is simple. One is to improve their educational background, the two is to learn new skills and accumulate themselves for transformation. So from this point of view, people's consciousness of adapting to the new environment and the new trend is still strong, and the more convenient and more practical features of the network learning are consistent with their needs. According to our statistics, the technology of mechanical manufacturing, automation and Mechatronics at the College of network education of the University of Electronic Science and technology is now the most popular of the technical workers, and the top priority of non technical workers, such as marketing, computer, English, accounting and other hot majors.
