Connector market development four major points of view(2)

It is expected that in the next few years, more unknown fields will develop new application requirements due to the Internet of Things. Future Internet of Things platforms will surely witness the development of hyper-connected environments, in which various new ultra-low power and sensor technologies will be applied, bringing changes and added value to many fields including not only medical care and industry.

3. IoT wearables will be the next growth point of connectors. According to Gartner's forecast, compared with 2016, the number of global connected devices will reach 4.9 billion in 2017, an increase of 30%. By 2020, this scale will increase five times, that is, 25 billion units. Internet of Things devices have become the main driving force for business development and will affect various industries in social life. If the formation speed of the Internet of Things can be demonstrated by independent market research, then this trend will get a whole new stimulus and gain further attention. The Internet of Things is also called the Internet of Everything, and its corresponding connectors will undoubtedly play an important role in it. Of course, at present, the Internet of Things is still a macro concept, and when it comes to the connector market, we will find that this innovation will continue to be driven by the demand for miniaturization, high integration of on-chip functions, and ultra-low power (ULP). Driven by systems designed for operation. This trend is particularly pronounced on wearable devices. Today, electronic component manufacturers around the world are trying to compete for a place in "wearable" devices, and miniaturization occupies an absolute priority in this respect. The demand for compact low-power devices has now expanded to all aspects of the electronics industry. We might as well take the earliest and most technologically cutting-edge medical field in the wearable field as an example. It has expanded to a new generation of portable medical devices. Molex, a leading international company, has started to lay out this aspect very early. Molex provides a series of highly innovative solutions for the medical electronics field through the MediSpec product family. For example, PolymicroTechnologies' MediSpec hollow silica waveguide, designed for medical laser applications, is a top-notch advanced medical technology. Another innovation is the MedSpec Medical Plastic Round (MPC) interconnect system, an economical interconnect product with a high durability rated 10,000 times. MPC interconnect systems have extremely high plug-in times and low plug-in forces, and the cost is only a fraction of that of competing systems with machined contacts. As the application of Internet of Things technology in all walks of life becomes more and more diverse, it will pose more severe challenges to the innovation capabilities of connector companies. 4. Smart factories and robots will make industrial connectors achieve a blowout in 2017. Although connectors are small, the development level of the connector industry is often closely related to the overall industrial level of the country. "Made in Germany", which symbolizes high quality, efficiency and innovation, is recognized and praised all over the world. Like the overall industrial level, the development level of the German connector industry is also very high, playing an important role in the German electronic and electrical industrial system. At the same time, "Made in China 225", which is regarded as the Chinese version of "Industry 4.0" plan, has attracted much attention from the society since it was put forward. The concept of "intellectual manufacturing in China" also continues to heat up, and the ambitious goal of manufacturing a powerful country is also expected. With the development of industrial manufacturing towards automation and intelligence, connectors, which are widely used in mechanical equipment, factory automation, power distribution, railways and other fields, are naturally the focus of development. Solutions and technologies for "Industry 4.0" and "Intelligent Production", connectors that can influence production efficiency in stamping, injection molding, assembly, crimping and other modules naturally need new upgrades. The interconnection and cooperation between various module areas also puts forward new requirements for connector devices. Take heavy-duty connectors as an example. Increasingly demanding application environments require the excellent performance of traditional heavy-duty connectors, and at the same time It has a wider range of applications and fast and comprehensive service capabilities, and can be widely applied to industrial production, especially connection operations in harsh and complex environments, to meet the diverse needs of customers in China and global markets for intelligent control equipment. At the same time, the requirements of smart factories for automation will definitely enable industrial robots to play more uses in the future. As a connector manufacturer that provides internal connections and sensing solutions for robots, it is naturally impossible to miss this promising sunrise field. The robot industry is booming in China, and connector solutions for partial connections of robotic arms and complete robot control systems are also attracting more and more interest. Although the connector is only a small component in the intelligent control process, it is the foundation part to ensure the overall quality and realize intelligence. Since many working environments of industrial robots are high-risk operations, arm joints must adapt to the increasing production requirements of complexity and precision. Traditional cable connections can no longer meet this requirement, which puts forward more connection requirements for connecting components. For example, in many operating environments, we can't connect the robot, but we can only transmit signal instructions to the robot through wireless connection. This kind of non-contact connection product must integrate non-contact power supply and high-frequency technology, and can reliably transmit power, signals and data without actual contact in almost any environment. Obviously, compared with traditional connection methods, industrial robots The development will inevitably bring huge changes to the field of connectors, and this new development will also feed back other fields of connectors and bring revolutionary progress prospects to the entire connection device.
