A number of mature, replicable and popularizable new models of intelligent manufacturing have been formed, and the intelligent manufacturing promotion system has basically taken shape. In the future, we should further strengthen technological innovation on the supply side, actively cultivate the ecological system, and accelerate our progress toward manufacturing power.
On the website of terminal manufacturers, consumers can choose or even customize their favorite styles, colors, shapes and functions, and then automatically place orders for production, which has been regarded as a typical application of intelligent manufacturing. Of course, intelligent manufacturing is more than that. It runs through the whole manufacturing process and profoundly changes the efficiency and mode of manufacturing.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China recently issued the "National Intelligent Manufacturing Standard System Construction Guide (2018 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard"), proposed that by 2018, a total of more than 150 intelligent manufacturing standards have been formulated and revised, basically covering basic common standards and key technical standards; By 2019, a total of more than 300 smart manufacturing standards will be formulated or revised, covering basic generic standards and key technical standards, and gradually establishing a relatively complete system of smart manufacturing standards.
"The accelerated integration of the new generation of information technology with intelligent manufacturing as the core has become a prominent trend in the development of the global advanced manufacturing industry. We should focus on intelligent manufacturing, accelerate the building of a manufacturing power, and accelerate the transformation of economic development to improve quality and efficiency." Xin Guobin, vice minister of industry and information technology said.
Breaking Industry Barriers
Accelerating the promotion of intelligent manufacturing is an important focus to accelerate the in-depth integration of industrialization and information technology in China and promote the supply-side structural reform of the manufacturing industry. It is of great significance to reshaping the new competitive advantages of China's manufacturing industry.
China has become the world's largest intelligent manufacturing market, with the market size set to exceed 220 billion yuan by 2020, according to the China Intelligent Manufacturing Development Report 2017 -- 2018. According to the First List of Recommended Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Suppliers released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, more than 20 of them have a main business income of more than 1 billion yuan.
Intelligent manufacturing, standards first. Standardization is an important technical basis for realizing intelligent manufacturing. Miit sadie institute of machinery industry institute ZuoShiQuan thinks, intelligent manufacturing standards has the characteristics of cross-industry, interdisciplinary, cross major, so the new standard, geographical and professional boundaries, to break the industry is based on domestic demand and balance international system, established the basic commonality, key technology and industry application of three kinds of standard system of intelligent manufacturing standards of the state. What needs to be emphasized is that efforts should be made to break down the barriers between Chinese and international standards, and more attention should be paid to the interconnection between various intelligent systems.
"In recent years, China has explored and formed a number of mature, reproducible and popularizable new models of intelligent manufacturing. In terms of technical standards, a number of key standards, such as the Digital Factory Reference Model, have been developed, and the framework of intelligent manufacturing standard system has been initially established." "Zuo Shiquan said.
The Standard emphasizes that five key technical standards of intelligent equipment, intelligent factory, intelligent service, intelligent enabling technology and industrial network should be formed. In this regard, Chigo Group Chairman and President Li Xinghao said, this points out the development direction for intelligent manufacturing enterprises, that is, starting from intelligent equipment, to intelligent factories, intelligent services and industrial network upgrade.
In addition, "but also to pay close attention to the development of a number of industry intelligent transformation of basic common and key technical standards, gradually improve and perfect the intelligent manufacturing standard system, and accelerate the transformation of innovative technological achievements to standards". Xin Guobin said.
Improve production efficiency
The industry has fully recognized that intelligent manufacturing can shorten the product development cycle, improve production efficiency and product quality, reduce operating costs and resource and energy consumption. Speed up the development of intelligent manufacturing, not only can improve the quality of the traditional manufacturing efficiency, can effectively promote intelligent equipment, rapid growth of emerging industries such as software industry, at the same time help our country traditional industry to realize the dynamic match between production and market diversification demand, increase output, reduce consumption and improve the quality, a sharp increase in labor productivity, Offset the impact of rising costs of labor, raw materials and other factors.
"The development of intelligent manufacturing will play a historic and revolutionary role in promoting the unbalanced and inadequate development of China's manufacturing industry." Xin Guobin said.
Zuo Shiquan introduced, China's intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration project is very obvious, intelligent transformation before and after the highest production efficiency reached more than 2 times; Reduced operating costs by more than 20% on average and 60% at the highest. Some enterprises actively apply the new model of intelligent manufacturing, and have achieved significant improvements in production efficiency through mass customization, remote operation and maintenance services, and network coordinated manufacturing.
"Many companies are now actively developing smart manufacturing because it can really improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance competitiveness." Li Xinghao introduced that as early as 2012, Chigo Group started the intelligent strategy, launched the world's first intelligent cloud air conditioning, built the industry's only global intelligent cloud air conditioning big data center, and led the drafting and release of China's first intelligent cloud air conditioning standard. At present, the home appliance industry represented by air conditioning is moving from the intelligent single product to the intelligent ecological system layout. The future air conditioning industry is an era of intelligence, so is the manufacturing industry. Chigo is speeding up its research on the most advanced intelligent manufacturing strategic layout and striving to transform itself into "Smart Made in China".
Xin Guobin pointed out that China has become the world's largest intelligent manufacturing demand market. We should take the initiative to make good use of this huge market demand and accelerate the promotion of intelligent manufacturing.
Forming a propulsion system
Xin Guobin said that in recent years, China has basically formed a smart manufacturing promotion system, achieved breakthroughs in key areas, and achieved remarkable results in pilot and demonstration programs. At the national level, 305 pilot and demonstration projects have been carried out, increasing production efficiency by an average of nearly 30 percent.
It is understood that the current intelligent manufacturing promotion system has formed a work pattern of central and local collaboration, industry-university-research and application joint innovation, and joint promotion of all aspects. On the whole, the conditions for promoting intelligent manufacturing in China are ripe. On the one hand, the supply capacity of core equipment of intelligent manufacturing has been continuously enhanced, and the integrated service capacity has been continuously improved. China has successfully made breakthroughs and applied a series of key technologies and equipment, including high-grade CNC machine tools and industrial robots, additive manufacturing equipment, intelligent sensing and control equipment, intelligent detection and assembly equipment, intelligent logistics and storage equipment, etc. On the other hand, the basic support capacity of intelligent manufacturing is constantly strengthened, and the standard system of intelligent manufacturing is gradually improved.
But it should also be noted that in the process of implementing intelligent manufacturing, China is still faced with core technology equipment, supporting software, control system and other subjects, the need to strengthen technological innovation in the supply side of intelligent manufacturing, to meet the development needs of intelligent manufacturing.
"The development of intelligent manufacturing should be promoted from two aspects. The first is to promote the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, and the second is to promote the improvement of intelligent manufacturing equipment, core software systems and system integration capabilities through the development of intelligent manufacturing to foster emerging industries." "Zuo Shiquan said.
Xin Guobin stressed that the intelligent manufacturing ecological system should be actively cultivated, and the market application will drive the key technology equipment, intelligent manufacturing standards, core industrial software, industrial Internet platform and system solution supply capacity to effectively improve, form the development of intelligent manufacturing "Chinese solution".
