Consumer-level drone disappeared, this year or the first year of drone-IT information
Three days ago, Twitter hot on the list is "big Moon", but similar reports in recent years, many "largest moon XX years", the report argued, paradoxically, so some people have quipped, you mess with the Moon not speak. Outbreak in the technology industry, "the first year" the word with "mega Moon" almost always appears, but for which year is the first year are not the same, to put it bluntly, everyone bullies drones will not talk.
2015, China civilian consumption level no machine market scale soaring to has 800 million Yuan, industry with of gives 2015 "no machine first year" of title, in this year of high rendezvous Shang, Lei Feng network with presence of no machine exhibition business mentioned this word is get has a not as of replies: "Yuan what years, shouted to shouted to people concern of also on so several home make airlines took of, this year to is Shang is first year's. ”
A 18th territories China international high-tech results fair (high Rendezvous) in Shenzhen as scheduled held, for exhibition of onlookers masses for, to this exhibition does can develop about horizons, feel technology brings of power, but in many practitioners of eye in the, event zhixia more is boring and noisy, many booth of exhibits are is in any exhibition are can see of "no new of products", and also has the big exhibition said rotten of concept...... Wrote in that participating members to return in "a lap around, surprise is not much, it is a familiar feeling".
Not just in the main venue, venue, too, but in this year's "unmanned systems" exhibition venue found some subtle changes.
Alone one years Qian so long, just this year first half of in various "XX electronic exhibition, and XX intelligent exhibition" Shang, also can see countless of no machine manufacturers put they home of consumption no machine, these no machine regardless of is looks also is function, are to people a "new bottled old wine and nothing egg with" of feel, until this high rendezvous of no machine concert, Lei Feng network surprised to found, consumption level (airlines took, and toy class) products disappeared of trace, remaining just two or three home just, instead of is various commercial, and Industrial uses in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles and peripheral products.
"The drones finally made people intuitively feel useful. ”
Two "no way, consumer drones have a sea, not say any more chances, even if alive is dying. I say this may offend a large number of peers, but don't really think the admission, Xinjiang and that several manufacturers had consumer of almost (aerial) market stood rigid, has no chance, the deeper into the drama die harder, professional and gaotou. "Say that the UAV company initially started as a consumer drone, and made two generations of products, described as broken cannot be overemphasized, and later was driven to no way, looking for direction, made a major drone.
"Professional drones have yet to take hold, the opportunity. Seems like the Xinjiang also involved in this area, out of a plant or something, but not as terrible as they in the field of aerial. ”
Exhibits from the scene, set sail compared to market "followed the Xinjiang" product trends, professional-grade is really Eight Immortals, all the machines without a big shadow of Xinjiang. Rotary wing, fixed wing, vertical take off and landing fixed wing ... ... Have ideas to.
"Xinjiang has his limitations, they did a good long axis, so you see their MG-1 too much rotor, this is their corporate brand. Many rotors have drawbacks as well as benefits of natural, maneuverability, and endurance are to be raised, we do is fixed-wing + rotor combine, as stable, and more efficient. "
High frequency of occurrence of vertical take off and landing of fixed-wing drones
Indeed, in the "unmanned systems" exhibition halls, rotor UAV did not commandeer the audience like a consumer-level, other forms of drones also occupies a small proportion. Judging from this flourishing situation, drones in the area from a professional use of enterprise "rule" is really far away, which is one reason many manufacturers have entered the professional-grade market, after all, took the bridge is better than no bridges cross the river much larger opportunities.
Always listen to the three earlier said that the rise of a product, even in an industry or not, depends on the peripheral device is a large rise, if an industry has emerged of numerous specialized peripheral product manufacturer, then explained that the industry was not far from the mainstream.
Drone aircraft flying in the high-tech fair exhibition, industry drones peripherals booth is a lot more than other events, intelligent op is one from Guangzhou, their main product is to do large UAV ground station, as well as control systems. In General, the manufacturer of UAV ground station UAV will be tested bundled and sold, so customers are saving, but essentially they are unmanned aerial vehicle business. Op art smart booth staff tell of Lei Feng network, they do only Earth stations and consoles, not drone. Such benefits are given to the user on demand the right to choose their own drone, they give the drone is more stable operation.
Console emulator
External devices such as console or with drones and crash, and the thermal imager is long before the drones fire has been poured into a variety of industrial applications, the event, exhibitors of the UAV is equipped with facilities, thermal imager has also appeared many do. Which a exhibition business of sales Member told Lei Feng network, whole "no system exhibition" of hot imaging instrument manufacturers no a is specifically to no machine do of, because hot imaging instrument application than no confidential early have more, these manufacturers zhiqian is do related equipment of, with no machine in many special field application (adventure, and search-and-rescue, and power temperature, and building diagnosis and so on) of universal, on infrared hot imaging instrument of needs growing.
"Basically is to fire up this year because we are TO b before, orders had to go running, customers are relatively fixed, the drones are not what customers do too much. But this year is different, many manufacturers take the initiative came to customize the UAV's thermal imaging. ”
The sales representative's argument is, orders increased speed as if their companies have turned the drones.
From this point of view, is specialized in drone of explosive growth, attracted the attention of many traditional industries. Other than thermal imaging, specifically several specialized research and development programme of unmanned aerial vehicle battery business in which Lei Feng network interview with the two of them, both said that the drone batteries and super long battery life-only scenarios, he himself did not plan to do UAV.
Four long ago, chatting with a small camera manufacturers, the manufacturers charge a very high profile, said, no one machine only in a preliminary stage, until the technology is mature, wait until the full outbreak, our drones will inevitably become a product that you want. I said, "just want" the word a bit over the top, like a cell phone, please? Not likely. After he did not look very nice, and immediately the concept, saying, you see application of agricultural crop protection, power line inspection, did not become unmanned drones is the trend of the future ... ...
Self opportunity will not become a need we cannot assert, however, from the "self-timer" responsible attitude, he to the UAV field uses the same is very positive.
From this high-tech fair on unmanned systems exhibition "professional-grade instead of consumption" subtleties of drone industry is indeed more mature, people's concept of drone from "toy" subtle "productivity tools". Fair was a miniature, believe that in the future more and more "XX technology exhibition" is no longer "can only take pictures of drone" of the world, but has a more high-tech drone and can change people's lives show.
More from unmanned aerial vehicles for the meaning of human change, from the "productive" changes, and so on, this year should be the unmanned aerial vehicles the first year.
消费级无人机销声匿迹，今年或是真正的无人机元年 - IT资讯
三天前，微博热门榜单上都是“超级大月亮”，然而近些年来类似的报道也有不少“XX年来最大月亮出现”，这些报道各执一词，又自相矛盾，于是有人调侃说，你们就是欺负月亮不会说话。在科技行业的爆发期，“元年”这个词儿跟“超级大月亮”差不多，总是出现，但是每个人对于哪年才是元年的说法也不一样，说白了，大家也都在欺负无人机不会说话。
2015年，中国民用消费级无人机市场规模疯长到了8亿元，业界随之赋予2015“无人机元年”的称号，在今年的高交会上，雷锋网跟在场的无人机展商提到这个词却得到了一个不一样的答复：“元什么年，喊来喊去人们关注的也就那么几家搞航拍的，今年才能算上是元年吧。”
一第18界中国国际高新技术成果交易会（高交会）在深圳如期举行，对于参展的围观群众来说，来这种展会确实能够开拓一下眼界，感受科技带来的力量，但是在众多从业者的眼中，盛会之下多是无聊和聒噪，很多展位的展品都是在任何展会都能见到的“毫无新意的产品”、还有各大展会说烂的概念……以至于参展的同事回来在文章中写到“一圈逛下来，惊喜没有想象的多，反而是有熟悉的感觉”。
不仅仅是主会场，分会场也是如此，只不过在今年的“无人系统展”的分会场发现了一些微妙的变化。
不用说一年前那么久远，仅仅今年上半年在各种“XX电子展、XX智能展”上，还能见到无数的无人机厂家摆出他们自家的消费无人机，这些无人机无论是长相还是功能，都给人一种“新瓶装旧酒且没什么蛋用”的感觉，直至这次高交会的无人机专场，雷锋网惊奇地发现，消费级（航拍、玩具类）产品消失的无影无踪，残存仅仅两三家而已，取而代之的是各种商用、工业领域用途的无人机及周边产品。
“无人机终于让人直观地感觉有用了。”
二“没办法，消费级无人机已经一片血海了，不说做了机会不大，就算能活下来也是苟延残喘。我说这话可能会得罪一大批同行，但是真心觉得别入场了，大疆和那几个稍差点的厂家已经把消费级（航拍）市场站得死死的，一点机会都没有，入戏越深死得越惨，专业的还有点搞头。”说这话的这家无人机企业最开始也是消费无人机起家，并且做了两代产品，用折戟沉沙来形容不为过，后来被逼得没办法，重新找了个方向，做起了专业无人机。
“专业无人机方面大家都还没站住脚，机会大把。表面看上去好像大疆也涉足这方面，出了个植保机什么的，但是远远没有他们在航拍领域那么可怕。”
从现场的展品来看，相比起航拍市场“跟随大疆”的产品潮流来说，专业级真的是八仙过海了，所有机器都没有了大疆的影子。多旋翼、固定翼、垂直起降固定翼……各显神通。
“大疆有他的局限性，他们做多轴做得好，所以你看他们的MG-1也是多旋翼的，这是他们企业的烙印。多旋翼有好处自然也有缺点，机动性啊、续航能力啊都有待提升，我们做的就是固定翼+多旋翼结合的，一样稳定，效率更高”。
现场出现频次很高的可垂直起降固定翼无人机
的确，在“无人系统展”的会场上，多旋翼无人机并没有像消费级那样霸占全场，其他形态的无人机也占据了不小的比重。从这种百花齐放的局面来看，无人机在专业用途的领域离某企业“一统天下”着实远了一些，这也是众多厂商纷纷进军专业级市场的原因之一，毕竟千军万马过独木桥总比过没桥的河机会大得多。
三早前总听人说，一个产品、甚至一个行业的兴起与否，就要看其周边设备是否大规模兴起，如果一个行业已经出现了大量专门做周边产品的厂家，那么就说明这个行业离主流就不远了。
在高交会的无人机展上，行业应用无人机周边设备的展台也比其他的展会要多了不少，来自广州的欧普智能就是其中一家，他们的主要产品是做大型无人机地面站以及控制系统。一般来说，做无人机地面站的厂家都会将无人机调试好打包出售，这样对于客户应用也比较省事儿，但本质上他们还是无人机企业。欧普智能展位的工作人员告诉雷锋网，他们只做地面站和控制台，不做无人机。这种好处是给了用户根据需求自主选择无人机的权利，他们则会给无人机做更稳定的操作体验。
控制台模拟器
像控制台这种外部设备还是跟无人机贴边的，而热成像仪则是在无人机火起来之前很久就已经投入各种行业应用的了，这次展会上，针对无人机配备设施的展商中，做热成像仪的也出现了不少。其中一家展商的销售员告诉雷锋网，整个“无人系统展”的热成像仪厂家没有一家是专门给无人机做的，因为热成像仪应用比无人机要早得多，这些厂家之前就是做相关设备的，随着无人机在很多特殊领域应用（探险、搜救、电力测温、建筑诊断等等）的普及，对红外热成像仪的需求与日俱增。
“基本上就是这一年火起来的，因为我们之前都是TO B的，订单都得自己去跑，客户也都相对固定一些，这些客户里面做无人机的不太多。但是今年不太一样，好多厂家主动跑过来要定制无人机的热成像。”
用这位销售员的说法就是，订单增多的速度好像自己的企业都已经转行做无人机了。
从这个方面来看，是专业无人机爆发式的增长，引起了不少传统行业的重视。除了热成像仪之外，专门几家专门研发无人机电池方案的企业也在其中，雷锋网询问了其中两家，这两家均表示，只做无人机电池以及超长续航方案，自己暂时并没有做无人机的打算。
四前一阵，在与一家做小型自拍机的厂家聊天的时候，该厂家负责人非常高姿态地表示，目前无人机只是在一个初级阶段，等到技术成熟、等到完全爆发，我们的无人机必然成为一个刚需的产品。我说，“刚需”这个词儿有点过了，像手机一样吗？不太可能吧。他听后脸色确实不太好看，马上转换概念，说，你看现在农业植保、电力巡线的应用，不是越来越离不开无人机了么，无人机是未来的趋势……
自拍机会不会成为一个刚需目前我们还不能断言，不过，从这位“自拍厂”负责人的态度来看，他对无人机专业领域用途同样是非常肯定的。
从本次高交会无人系统展上“专业级取代消费机”的微妙变化来看，无人机行业确实更加成熟了，人们对于无人机的概念已经从“玩具”潜移默化到了“生产力工具”上。高交会只是一个缩影，相信未来越来越多的“XX科技展”将不再是“只能拍照的无人机”的天下，而是拥有更高新技术的、能够给人们生活带来变化的无人机的秀场。
以上，从无人机对人类的意义的变化、从重视“生产力”的变化等方面来讲，今年才应该是真正的无人机元年吧。
