美國先進自動化產業協會報告北美機器人市場創紀錄增長
August 28, 2017– The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) announced the results of its research on robotics and automation trends, sales, and growth. A3 provides quarterly statistical reports to its members for benchmarking and business intelligence purposes. As expected, many records were set in the areas of robotics, machine vision, motion control and motor technology for the first half of 2017.
2017年8月28日——先進自動化產業協會（A3）公布了一項關于機器人和自動化趨勢、銷售和增長的研究成果。A3為其成員提供季度統計報告，用于基準測試和商業情報目的。正如預期的那樣，2017年上半年，在機器人、機器視覺、運動控制和電機技術領域均創造了紀錄。
A snapshot of some of A3’s research findings includes:

Robotics
機器人
The North American robotics market had its best opening half ever to begin 2017, setting new records in all four statistical categories (order units, order revenue, shipment units, and shipment revenue). In total, 19,331 robots valued at approximately $1.031 billion were sold in North America during the first half of 2017, which is the highest level ever recorded to begin a year. These figures represent growth of 33% in units and 26% in dollars over 2016. Automotive related orders grew substantially in that time, increasing 39% in units and 37% in dollars, while non-automotive orders also grew 21% in units and 10% in dollars over the first half of 2016.
從2017年開始，北美機器人市場獲得了最好的半年開局，在所有四個統計類別（訂單數量、訂單收入、出貨數量和出貨收入）中創下新紀錄。2017年上半年，北美銷售的機器人一共19,331臺，價值約10.31億美元，創歷史新高。這些數據在數量上比2016年增長33％，在銷售額上增長26％。汽車相關訂單在當時大幅增長，數量增長39％，銷售額增長37％，而非汽車訂單，同比2016年上半年，數量也增長21％，銷售額增長10%。
Motion Control & Motors
運動控制與電機
For the first half of 2017, orders for motion control and motor products amounted to $1.622 billion, up 14% over the first six months of 2016. Shipments totaled $1.757 billion, up 10% over the first half of 2016, and the fastest growing categories in that timeframe, in terms of shipments, were Motion Controllers (21% to $97 million), Sensors & Feedback Devices (20% to $76 million), Actuators & Mechanical Systems (17% to $318 million), and AC Drives (17% to $199 million).
2017年上半年，運動控制和電機產品訂單達16.22億美元，比2016年前六個月上漲14％。出貨量為17.57億美元，比2016年上半年增長10％，從出貨量上來看，其時增幅最快的分別是運動控制器（增長21％至9700萬美元），傳感器和反饋設備（增長20％至7600萬美元），執行器與機械系統（增長17％至3.18億美元）和交流驅動器（17％至1.99億美元）。
Vision & Imaging
視覺與圖像
In 2017, the machine vision market in North America also posted its best first half performance compared to any other year. A total of $1.241 billion was sold in the first six months of the year, with an increase of 11% over the same period in 2016. Machine vision component markets were up 11% in total to $177 million and systems increased 10% to $1.058 billion. Some notable growth rates were: Lighting (20% to $35 million), Smart Cameras (16% to $183 million), and Optics (16% to $20 million).
2017年，北美機器視覺市場相比以往任何一年，亦是表現最好的上半年。今年頭六個月共銷售12.41億美元，同比增長11％。機器視覺零部件市場總額增長11％至1.77億美元，系統增長10％至10.58億美元。增長率較大的有：照明（增長20％至3500萬美元），智能相機（增長16％至1.83億美元）和光學元件（增長16％至2000萬美元）。
Experts expect software to trend up, cameras, lighting, and imaging boards to be flat, and optics to trend down over the next six months. Additionally, expectations are for Application Specific Machine Vision (ASMV) systems to increase and smart cameras to remain flat in the next two quarters.
未來半年，專家預計軟件呈上升趨勢，相機、照明和成像板將保持平穩，光學元件則有所下滑。此外，預期未來兩個季度，專用機器視覺（ASMV）系統獲得增長，而智能相機保持平穩。
