Intelligent manufacturing is a production method that can make enterprises more “smart” in R & D, production, management, service, etc. Manufacturing companies should start from the core pain points of their own development, based on reasonable overall planning and top-level design ， According to the development direction of intelligent manufacturing elements → Intelligent manufacturing capabilities → Intelligent manufacturing system, acquire intelligent manufacturing elements in stages and continuously, establish, improve and expand the enterprise in R & D design, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, order acquisition, product services The intelligent manufacturing capabilities of various links, etc., eventually form a complete, efficient and scientific intelligent manufacturing system.
At present, China's smart manufacturing is still facing major challenges such as key equipment and core components being constrained by people, the difficulty of SMEs being integrated into the wave of smart manufacturing, and the lack of a cultural core of smart manufacturing in most enterprises. The new opportunities brought by new models and technologies such as collaborative manufacturing and 5G are based on the principle of "based on the present and focused on the long-term", and implement intelligent transformation in stages and continuously.
"Why" and "Why" for Intelligent Manufacturing
"What is" smart manufacturing
Brand new production methods for enterprises to realize intelligent production, management, service and products
The concept of "intelligent manufacturing" first appeared in the book "Manufacturing Intelligence" by American scholars PKWright and DABourne. They defined intelligent manufacturing as robot application manufacturing software system technology, integrated system engineering, robot vision and other technologies, and implemented mass production systems. Sexual process. In the "Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020)" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, intelligent manufacturing is defined as the deep integration of new-generation information and communication technology and advanced manufacturing technology, which runs through all aspects of manufacturing activities such as design, production, management, and service , A new production method with functions of self-awareness, self-learning, self-decision, self-execution, and self-adaptation.
IResearch believes that intelligent manufacturing is a brand-new production method produced through the systematic application of the new generation of information technology, automation technology, industrial software and modern management ideas in all fields and processes of manufacturing enterprises. The application of intelligent manufacturing can enable manufacturing enterprises to realize production intelligence, management intelligence, service intelligence and product intelligence.
The origin and evolution of intelligent manufacturing
Origin: Digital Manufacturing → Growth: Networked Manufacturing → Goal: Intelligent Manufacturing
Intelligent manufacturing represents the integration of advanced manufacturing technology and informatization. Although the concept has been proposed only 30 years ago, the origin of intelligent manufacturing can be traced back to the middle of the last century, and its development and evolution can be roughly divided into three stages: from the middle of the last century Digital manufacturing by the mid-1990s, with computing, communications and control applications as the main features; networked manufacturing developed from the mid-1990s to the present, with the large-scale popularization of the Internet, advanced manufacturing has entered the Internet of Everything The main characteristics of the network stage; currently, based on the rapid advancement of big data, cloud computing, machine vision and other technologies, artificial intelligence is gradually integrated into the manufacturing field, and advanced manufacturing has begun to enter the intelligent manufacturing stage with a new generation of artificial intelligence technology as the core . However, limited by the development level of artificial intelligence technology and the application of manufacturing industry is not yet mature, the current "smart manufacturing" is still far from the fully intelligent stage of "adaptive, self-decision, self-execution", intelligent manufacturing is still the future Main development goals.
"Why" China needs smart manufacturing
Intelligent manufacturing is the only way for China's manufacturing industry to transform, upgrade, improve quality and increase efficiency
In recent years, China's economic development has gradually shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development. The government has paid more attention to optimizing the economic structure and transforming its growth momentum. Manufacturing is the main area of supply-side structural reform. Although the share of manufacturing value added in the total GDP of the country is declining, the real economy represented by manufacturing is the core support for China's high-quality economic development. From 2015 to 2016, the year-on-year growth rate of China's manufacturing value added was only 3.5% and 5.9%. The rising cost of production factors such as raw materials, land, and human resources made it difficult for the manufacturing industry to increase its profit margin. Improving quality and efficiency and changing production methods are the problems that China's manufacturing industry must solve, and the development of intelligent manufacturing is the only way for Chinese manufacturing to grow from strong to strong.
