 1. ELABORACIÓN DE ESTADÍSTICAS 2013

INCORPORACIÓN DE ROBOTS DURANTE 2012

A continuación se presentan los resultados obtenidos por parte de la Asociación Española

de Robótica y Automatización de Tecnologías de la Producción (AER-ATP) sobre la
incorporación de robots industriales en España durante el ejercicio de 2012.

Conviene recordar que a todos los efectos, por lo tanto, también para estas estadísticas, la
AER-ATP se ajusta a la clasificación y a las normas establecidas por la International
Federation of Robotics (IFR). Así, según la UNE-EN ISO 8373, un Robot Industrial es un
robot que puede programarse por más de tres ejes, reprogramable, multi-aplicación, móvil
o no, destinado a utilizarse en aplicaciones de automatización industrial.

También es importante recordar que la IFR contabiliza el número de robots acumulados en

los últimos 12 años. En este sentido, AER-ATP referencia todas sus estadísticas basándose
en la normativa internacional, y única y exclusivamente en la Tabla I, puede observarse el
total de robots vendidos en España como referencia histórica.

Una vez más, desde AER-ATP se han remitido los correspondientes cuestionarios a los
diferentes fabricantes y suministradores que operan en el mercado español. Una vez
recogida esta información, se han analizado y contrastado con los cuestionarios facilitados
por un amplio número de ingenierías integradoras y de empresas usuarias con el fin de
garantizar la necesaria coherencia y fiabilidad del estudio.

En cualquier caso, desde AER-ATP se puede afirmar la veracidad de los datos que se
reflejan, si bien es posible que algunas unidades de robots instalados pueden haber
escapado al control de dicha estadística por la dificultad que conlleva a veces la
interpretación o seguimiento de las políticas comerciales de las empresas.

Se manifiesta a su vez, un cordial agradecimiento a las empresas que han participado

facilitando su información, entendiendo que la labor que realizan es en beneficio para todos.

 2. VISIÓN GLOBAL, APLICACIONES, SECTORES Y MARCAS

VISIÓN GLOBAL

A la vista de los primeros datos que muestra la estadística realizada se puede señalar que el
número de unidades totales instaladas asciende a 2.355 unidades, lo que significa una
disminución del 30 por ciento en relación al número de unidades instaladas en el ejercicio
anterior.
Esta disminución refleja seguramente de forma más fidedigna la realidad del sector que la
cifra del año anterior. La realidad industrial por la que atraviesa el sector se mantiene en
niveles de crecimiento desde el 2010.

APLICACIONES

En referencia a las aplicaciones de los robots (ver Tabla III, figura 3A), constatar que la
soldadura y la manipulación se equiparan con el 36 por ciento aproximadamente de
utilización para cada una de ellas. El 30 por ciento restante se reparte de forma parecida
entre el resto de aplicaciones.

SECTORES

Por lo que respeta a sectores (ver Tabla IV), el sector de automoción representa un 35 por
ciento, muy lejos del 60 por ciento del ejercicio anterior. Señalar que el sector de
alimentación y bebidas sigue un ritmo ascendente con el 10,6 por ciento de las unidades
incorporadas. También es notable la cifra por lo que se refiere al apartado de productos
metálicos representando cerca del 21 por ciento del total.
