In 2016, the smart manufacturing boom swept across China. This is both a continuation and “deep localization†of the boom in Industry 4.0, and is the biggest hot spot in the progress of “Made in China 2025â€:
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continues to vigorously promote smart manufacturing projects. In 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved a total of 144 applications for integrated standardization and new model applications for smart manufacturing, and 63 pilot demonstration projects for smart manufacturing. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also issued a number of 2016 pilot demonstration projects for Sino-German intelligent manufacturing cooperation.
Local governments have also begun to establish smart manufacturing special projects. Local governments have actively organized various types of smart manufacturing conferences. Among them, the World Smart Manufacturing Conference held in Jiangsu Province has had a wide range of influence. Zhejiang Province and Hunan Province also held large-scale intelligent manufacturing forums.
E-works held the second International Forum on Intelligent Manufacturing this year in Wuhan, and the audience reached 1,000 people. E-works also held smart manufacturing application forums in Xiamen, Chongqing, and Nanjing, as well as professional forums for smart factories, smart R&D, and intelligent supply chains, which were widely welcomed by enterprises.
E-works held two German Industry 4.0 visits, two US Internet of Things and smart manufacturing inspections, entrepreneurs of manufacturing companies enthusiastically participated.
Actively establish intelligent manufacturing institutes throughout the country. For example, Nanjing established the Jiangsu Jingxin Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute and the Sino-German Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute. Changsha City cooperated with the China Electronics Group to form the Changsha Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute. In social media, various articles and cases about smart manufacturing are overwhelming.
This year, the integration of e-works and intelligent manufacturing consulting service business maintained a rapid growth.
With the rapid increase of labor costs in China, the requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction are getting higher and higher, market competition is fierce, and customer demands are increasingly personalized. Manufacturing companies are facing increasing pressure for transformation. In this context, smart manufacturing has become a hot topic for many manufacturers. Especially in the intelligent transformation of workshops, many large and medium-sized manufacturing companies have carried out relevant practices, and many companies are eager to try. Increasing smart equipment, establishing smart production lines, advancing smart logistics, and reducing labor have become common choices for many manufacturing companies.
Smart manufacturing is overwhelming. But it needs to be clear that intelligent manufacturing is only a means, not an end. Manufacturing companies should clearly promote the goal of smart manufacturing, actively study various emerging technologies for smart manufacturing, and discuss the necessity, urgency, and feasibility of applying various smart manufacturing technologies. The specific application of smart manufacturing technologies must be well analyzed and invested in requirements. Output analysis, a clear total cost of ownership, and a reasonable investment budget based on their own profitability. We must not be smart in order to intelligentize, and we must blindly go on smart manufacturing projects in order to win government projects, so as to avoid the formation of new islands of intelligence in the case of old information island problems and inaccurate basic data. , and even become a "only for the visit" of the flowers.
Manufacturing companies that promote smart manufacturing need to grasp the following five basic principles:
01. Correct understanding of intelligent manufacturing
The “smart†in smart manufacturing is still in the Smart stage. The smart manufacturing system has the capabilities of data acquisition, data processing, and data analysis, enabling closed-loop feedback. The future trend of smart manufacturing is to realize “Intelligent†and realize autonomous learning, independent decision-making and optimization and improvement. Smart Manufacturing integrates information technology, advanced manufacturing technology, automation technology and intelligent technology. "Manufacturing" in intelligent manufacturing refers to manufacturing in a broad sense. It does not only include the intelligentization of production and manufacturing, but also includes the intelligentization of various links in the manufacturing value chain. Deepening the application of enterprise information and industrial software is the basis and prerequisite for promoting intelligent manufacturing.
02. Correct understanding and application of intelligent manufacturing enablement technology
Smart manufacturing technologies include: Internet of things, additive manufacturing (3D printing, including equipment, materials, processes), cloud computing, e-commerce, EDI (electronic data interchange), PLC, DCS, automatic identification technology (RFID, barcode, machine Visual), numerical control systems, big data analysis (including industrial big data),
Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality, Digital twin (Digital Mapping, Including Products, Devices, Workshops), Industrial Security, Industrial Internet, Sensors, Cloud Manufacturing, and Information Integration (EAI, ESB). What needs to be clear is that some technologies are still in the early stages of development. Manufacturing companies need to comprehensively consider application methods based on their product characteristics, production models, and operating models.
03. Must understand the essential difference between intelligence and automation
Those saying that robotic applications and unmanned factories are industrial 4.0 are wrong. When building a smart factory, enterprises should consider the application of smart equipment, the data collection methods of production lines and assembly lines, equipment layout and optimization of shop logistics, the transfer method of products in process, the improvement and optimization of production processes, and the innovation of materials. And so on, not just the "machine substitutions" of certain stations. The intelligent production line can realize flexible automation, quickly switch production of multiple products, or can produce a variety of products with mixed lines, can automatically collect production data and quality data, and realize information integration of automation systems and quality analysis systems and MES systems. .
04. It is necessary to do a good job of overall planning, choose an implementation plan that suits the characteristics of the company itself, and effectively avoid risks.
Promoting smart manufacturing requires solving more complex and criss-crossing information integration problems, such as information integration of IT systems and automation systems, and data exchange of supply chains;
Promoting smart manufacturing requires the processing of heterogeneous data from a variety of sources, including a wide variety of data from devices, products, social networks, and information systems, and the need to ensure the accuracy of underlying data;
The promotion of smart manufacturing requires the cooperation of the IT department, automation department, lean promotion department and business department, and even supply chain partners.
Therefore, manufacturing companies must fully recognize the complexity, arduousness, and long-term nature of advancing smart manufacturing. The manufacturing enterprises should do a good job in training relevant technologies, select smart manufacturing consulting services with practical experience, and work together to plan a blueprint for smart manufacturing. Under the guidance of the overall plan, choose the first priority for the breach that companies are most likely to quickly achieve. For example, to promote predictive maintenance services based on the Internet of Things, promote sales of products that companies already sell, and improve customer service satisfaction; or improve the overall performance and product qualification rate of the equipment through the realization of intelligent production lines; through the establishment of enterprise-level BOM platform to achieve online customization of products.
05. Enterprises need to establish their own professional team and choose long-term strategic partners
Promoting informatization is a systematic project. The deep integration of informatization and industrialization is a larger system project, and the promotion of intelligent manufacturing is a very complicated system engineering. It involves the integration of many industrial software applications, involving intelligent equipment applications, Equipment networking, data collection, data analysis, and business process optimization, and need to be combined with advances in lean management.
Therefore, manufacturing companies need to establish their own professional teams, integrate information technology, automation and management talents, and select a number of long-term strategic partners, including consulting service agencies, intelligent manufacturing integrators, solution providers and service providers.
When manufacturing companies promote intelligent manufacturing projects, they must pay attention to choosing a solution provider that has implementation and service experience in the industry where the company is located. The product is open and scalable, and has localized service capabilities. The company has good communication skills and projects. Managers with managerial capabilities and rich industry experience. In advancing the smart factory project, it is particularly necessary to consider whether the solution provider has the comprehensive capabilities of software, hardware, and automation.
In short, to promote intelligent manufacturing, we must actively deploy the application of cutting-edge technology, but also lay a solid foundation and pragmatically promote. Throughout the 30-year history of China's manufacturing industry advancing the application of information technology, one after another experienced "engineering", from "accounting computerization", "flip chart", CIMS engineering, "two rejections (fling rejection, "Debited Account Form" "to the manufacturing information engineering project; has produced a "boom" again and again, from the financial software, CAD, ERP, ASP, cloud computing, e-commerce, etc., both the active promotion of the existing government, but also the mainstream of domestic and foreign The manufacturer's boost.
Many manufacturing companies have blindly applied some informatized cell systems whose technology is not yet mature, and their implementation and applications are not in place. This has led to the formation of many informatized islands. , Did not achieve the desired goal, and even repeatedly pushed back.
Therefore, regardless of what “buzz words†or booms are on the market, manufacturing companies can no longer blindly follow the trend, but should remain calm and rational in order to avoid counterproductive. It is hoped that the majority of manufacturers will refer to the above five basic principles and gradually advance the basic management level and actively and steadily push forward intelligent manufacturing so as to truly achieve practical results!
With the rapid increase of labor costs in China, the requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction are getting higher and higher, market competition is fierce, and customer demands are increasingly personalized. Manufacturing companies are facing increasing pressure for transformation. In this context, smart manufacturing has become a hot topic for many manufacturers.
