Shenzhen Zhongling Technology is a supplier that specializes in hub motors for robots. Today I will analyze the current catering robot industry.

The digital and intelligent transformation of the catering industry is entering the second stage, that is, the combined service model of AI robots and humans continues to stimulate cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

A few days ago, the smart restaurant of the Winter Olympics hit the screen, and the scenes of robot catering and delivery aroused heated discussions among the public and their beautiful vision for the future of catering. However, it can be seen that only a very complete and humane solution can handle this comprehensive scenario.

The threshold is not low, but the urgent need for robots among catering businesses has almost become clear. One reason is the pressure of increasingly expensive labor costs, and the other reason is that the work efficiency in some scenarios is much higher than that of human labor. In recent years, well-known catering brands such as Haidilao, Quanjude, and Grandma’s Family have applied meal delivery robots to actual service scenarios on a large scale.

On the field of catering robots, or service robots, the battle between established robot players represented by Pangolin and Qinglang Intelligence and new AI players represented by Orion Star and Purdue Technology has become increasingly fierce. The ever-growing super cake is waiting for you.

A track full of imagination will inevitably attract a large number of players. As the application of catering robots reaches maturity, there are more and more players on the track, turning it into a big melee.

One group is AI startups represented by Purdue Technology, Orion Star, and Youdi Technology. Their advantages lie mostly in algorithms and software. For example, Purdue Technology’s core technology is low-speed autonomous driving, and Orion Star’s core technology is voice. Full-chain AI technology including interaction, image recognition, etc.

The second camp is the traditional manufacturing players represented by pangolins. Most of their advantages lie in industrial manufacturing capabilities and large-scale mass production capabilities. For example, Pangolin first started with hydraulic equipment, and then transitioned to service robot manufacturing.

The third camp is the emerging industrial players represented by No.9 Robot and Qinglang Intelligent. Their advantages are mainly solutions that combine software and hardware. For example, Qinglang Intelligent, which was established in 2010, actually focused on educational robots at first and only launched in 2014. The first-generation orbital meal delivery robot product was released, and No.9 Robot first focused on balancing car products as a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise. Its recently frequently unveiled sugar cube delivery robot was released in 2019.

The fourth camp is logistics platform players represented by Meituan and Ele.me. Their advantages are the technical teams of large manufacturers, rich supply chain resources and application scenarios.

In addition, there are real estate players like Country Garden, whose subsidiary Qianxi Robot was established in 2019, but currently has a very rich service robot product matrix.

Judging from the establishment time of each company and the frequency of product releases, the catering robot track has entered a period of rapid transformation of research and development. More products have entered actual application scenarios due to the players’ early investment in R&D and trial production, and have begun to emerge. Business benefits.

At present, this melee may intensify. One reason is that more AI algorithm players have strategies for deploying terminals. They are no longer satisfied with only providing software services, but provide comprehensive services integrating software and hardware. The second reason is that because many head robot companies focusing on the consumer-level field have accumulated a large amount of related technologies, it may only be a matter of time before they enter the catering robot track.

Shenzhen Zhongling Technology is a company that specializes in manufacturing and developing wheel hub motors and has long provided hub motor products and other accessories for robots. Since the launch of hub motors in 2015, its products have accompanied customers in more than 100 countries around the world and have become a leader in the industry. In a leading position. And we have always adhered to the concept of continuous innovation to bring the best products to customers, and a complete sales research and development system to provide customers with the best purchasing experience. I hope we can develop rapidly with the robotics industry.
