An electrician’s salary doubled when he switched to robot debugging! Such talents are very popular

Intelligent manufacturing talents with strong self-learning ability and foreign language skills are now very popular.

Xiao Jin, who worked as an electrician in a state-owned enterprise for more than five years, resigned from traditional manufacturing last year and transformed into smart manufacturing. His monthly salary has more than doubled. If he wants to change jobs to another company after one year, his salary can increase by 20%-30%.

Last weekend, at the Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Talent Training Forum held in the Artificial Intelligence Town, the most heated topic discussed by the participants was "talent". In the process of leaping from "traditional manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", front-line employees like Xiaojin who have a foundation and are willing to learn are becoming popular.

How big is the talent gap in intelligent manufacturing? In the "industrial robot" branch alone, the talent gap in the national industry currently reaches 50,000. To this end, companies have emerged on the market that offer courses specifically to cultivate intelligent manufacturing talents.

Switching to smart manufacturing has more than doubled wages

Xiao Jin, who came all the way from Beijing, was visiting Hangzhou for the second time. In August last year, he was optimistic about the intelligent manufacturing industry and came to Hangzhou for the first time to participate in a training class on intelligent manufacturing. The training class lasted for two and a half months. With half a month left, he received an invitation from a company in Beijing. Olive branch.

"My major in university is electrical engineering and automation, and I have been working as an electrician in a state-owned pharmaceutical factory since graduation." Xiao Jin said that the technical content of traditional electricians is not high, and the work content is relatively simple, "It is to ensure the normal power supply in the workshop. Operation and related repairs and maintenance work, so the monthly income is also very average.”

Before resigning, he learned that there was a huge talent gap in the smart manufacturing industry, and the salary was much higher than that of electricians with low thresholds. After coming to Hangzhou, Xiaojin mastered the professional knowledge of robot operation programming and related equipment project debugging and maintenance.

Currently, he works in an auto parts factory in Beijing. He is mainly responsible for debugging and maintaining automatic welding robots. These robots are used to produce cars of brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. "The monthly salary now exceeds 8,000 yuan, which is double what it was before." Xiao Jin said that he had always been worried about being replaced by robots, but now he has become the "master" behind the robots. Not only does his income increase, but his goals are clearer. "The talent gap is too big." Once you get older, as long as you accumulate more than two years of experience, many big companies will offer you twice the price to poach people."

There is a huge talent gap in smart manufacturing and training students are in high demand

The "Made in China 2025" plan proposes that intelligent manufacturing should be the main direction for the deep integration of informatization and industrialization. Industrial robots are considered key to achieving this goal. Currently, there are more than 7,300 robot companies in the country, with a talent gap of 50,000.

"There are two ways to acquire talents in this area, one is training in colleges and universities, and the other is transferring to related majors from the traditional manufacturing industry." said Liu Zenglong, general manager of Hangzhou Guide Robot Technology Co., Ltd. As early as 2015, with a career background of more than 20 years as a robot system integrator, he decided to start a business and engage in the training and recruitment of intelligent manufacturing talents. According to his estimation, half of the employees now want to transform from traditional manufacturing to smart manufacturing.

Yang Xu, director of the Talent Service Department of Guide Che, believes that there are currently two main talent needs for smart manufacturing companies: project debugging engineers and mechanical design engineers. The salary can generally reach more than 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, so a considerable number of people participate in training for this purpose. Two positions.

Compared with regular training, they pay more attention to practicality. In addition to launching basic content courses such as mechanical and electrical debugging and mechanical design, Guide Car takes into account the rapid changes in the intelligent manufacturing industry and makes major adjustments to the corresponding courses every three months. "For example, the manufacturing of new energy vehicles is very popular now, and the corresponding automotive simulation and simulation technology courses need to be updated."

In Yang Xu’s view, if you have relevant industry work experience, strong self-learning ability, and good foreign language skills, you will be very popular in the intelligent manufacturing industry: “If you can also independently package projects and lead a team, I conservatively estimate that you will change jobs after one year. , the salary can be increased by at least 30%.”
