New Technology Drives PRD Upgrade

Guangdong province has integrated the layout of artificial intelligence industrial cluster development, making clear that Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai are the core, with Dongguan, Foshan and Huizhou as the key areas, and strive to create a number of innovative industrial clusters.

Through the "three step" strategy, by 2030, the basic level, technology level and application level of artificial intelligence will achieve a significant breakthrough in the whole chain.

Intelligent production line, "digital factory", fun eighteen "Wu Yi" robot......

At the Guangdong international robotics and Intelligent Equipment Fair held in 2018, many Pearl River Delta enterprises brought dazzling intelligent manufacturing solutions to show the world the diversity of "intelligent manufacturing in Guangdong".

"The next 20 years will be a critical period for China's manufacturing industry to grow from strong to strong, and also a critical period for the development of intelligent manufacturing as the core technology of the new round of industrial revolution."

The honorary chairman of the Chinese Academy of engineering, academician Zhou Ji, said that for a long time, the intelligent upgrading of production lines, workshops and factories will become a feast for promoting the pformation of manufacturing industry.

Recently, reporters in the Pearl River Delta region interview found that from traditional manufacturing enterprises to emerging smart equipment enterprises, from Guangdong to the Pearl River Delta region, are actively involved in this intelligent manufacturing feast, and strive to promote the Pearl River Delta to become the world's intelligent manufacturing heights.

Take the "intelligent manufacturing" express train, each enterprise has its own strengths.

In the Pearl River Delta, a group of intelligent equipment enterprises, which had earlier upgraded the "intelligent express" of manufacturing industry, became the biggest beneficiaries of this feast.

The Polytron Technologies Inc, which focuses on building industrial robots, is a typical example of rapid emergence and growth in the great momentum of "machine replacement" in the PRD.

"Tusta took 10 years from founding to listing."

Wu Fengli, chairman of tusta, said.

How can "miracle" be born?

Dongguan, known as the "world factory", has been promoting "machine substitutions" in the labor-intensive enterprises such as electronics, food, textiles, clothing and furniture in recent years.

Data show that in Dongguan's 7669 regulated industrial enterprises, nearly more than 1000 have launched intelligent pformation in the past 3 years.

Tusta is relying on its own research and development of rectangular coordinates manipulator, six axis multi joint robot and other fist products, to meet the needs of Dongguan and even the PRD manufacturing enterprises for customized industrial robots, and has developed into one of the few domestic enterprises that cover the core components of the robot, the body manufacturing and automation solutions.

Since 2013, tusta's operating income and profit have maintained a growth rate of over 40%.

"In recent years, the company has been sorting out the industry with strong demand for intelligent manufacturing equipment in China, and has carried out industrial layout for the five major industries, 3C, automobile manufacturing, photoelectric, new energy and medical care, which are relatively large in demand.

It is hoped that in the future, we can build a national market based on the Pearl River Delta, and eventually become an international intelligent manufacturing integrated service provider.

Wu Fengli said.

To seize the opportunity of intelligent manufacturing is not only a new intelligent equipment enterprise such as tusta, but also a lot of traditional manufacturing enterprises who dare to "eat crab".

Reporters at the Guangdong international robotics and Intelligent Equipment Fair saw that some traditional equipment manufacturers not only learned to "create", but also played a "shared economy", while solving their pain points and becoming the exporter of the industry's intelligent production plan.

The encyclopedia machine from the production socket is now one of the most potential manufacturers in the field of special injection molding machines in China. It can provide customized solutions for the cooperative customers to "turn off the lights".

"The market is changing so fast that the product life cycle is very short. It is very difficult for equipment manufacturers to meet the changing production requirements in the past with fixed products and models."

The implementation of the encyclopedia machinery business has been understood by Wen long. Under the demand of "cheap and quick customized" equipment procurement, Wikipedia machinery has developed a new mode of customized production of modules based on the rapidly changing 3C industry.

"Production enterprises do not need to spend money on equipment. Our customized modules are grafted on the original equipment like building blocks to add new functions to the equipment."

Not only that, encyclopedia machinery is also committed to promoting the intellectualization of factories.

From the moment of receiving orders, the company broke all production links into different data, making data a communication language for different manufacturing links.

"At present, we basically achieve interconnection and interoperability in the production link, relying on data production."

Jie Wenlong introduced that the invisible "data stream" precipitated a large number of industrial data, enabling the machine to become intelligent through the "cloud".

In order to further promote the intellectualization, we have set up intelligent assistant manufacturing departments, remote cloud control and open departments, etc., and provide comprehensive solutions with the precision mold and other related enterprises.

Promoting "intelligence making" upgrading, and coordinating efforts everywhere

Faced with the wave of intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry, how does the Pearl River Delta work?

At the academician summit meeting in Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau, many academicians paid great attention to this issue and made suggestions.

"Step by step, from the sensor and other basic core technologies to intensify efforts to overcome difficulties and escalate."

Luo Xiwen, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering.

"In the process of promoting intelligent manufacturing, we must adhere to five principles: first, we must persist in innovation driven; two, we must adhere to enterprises' measures; three, we must adhere to industrial upgrading; four, we must persist in building a good development environment; five, we must adhere to open and collaborative innovation."

Academician Zhou Ji proposed.

In fact, academicians' concerns are also the concerns of the government.

In recent years, the government departments in the Pearl River Delta region have launched a series of planning policies for the development of intelligent manufacturing, which has strongly promoted this process.

Artificial intelligence is the "goose goose" that leads the industry pformation.

In August of 2018, the Guangdong provincial government announced the "new generation of artificial intelligence development plan of Guangdong province". The overall layout of the province's artificial intelligence industry cluster development is clear, taking Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai as the core, Dongguan, Foshan and Huizhou as the key areas, and strive to create a number of innovative industrial clusters.

At the same time, in the future, through the "three step" strategy, by 2030, the basic level, technology level and application level of artificial intelligence will achieve a significant breakthrough in the whole chain, and industrial development will enter the high-end link of the global value chain.

In order to achieve this goal, Guangdong is currently in the overall layout of scientific research, platform system, demonstration application and industrial development.

Located in the eastern part of the Pearl River, Dongguan city is aiming at building an international advanced manufacturing base, aiming at intelligent manufacturing outlet, and advancing the strategy of Intelligent Manufacturing in the whole ecological chain.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of information, the Dongguan authorities on the one hand promoted the escalation of intelligent manufacturing on the one hand. In 2018, it decided that 312 projects were subsidized by automation, and vigorously developed a number of high standard intelligent workshops for intelligent decision making. On the other hand, the whole chain strengthened the supply of intelligent products, carried out all-round, whole process diagnostic services for enterprises, and set up a pool of service resources. At present, more than 100 professional service organizations were on the record of "Zhi Dongguan" website. HUAWEI, tusta and other famous enterprises have accepted the "online inquiry" from experts from Germany and China Hongkong.

At the same time, Dongguan also needs to introduce and expand the intelligent equipment industry. As of August 2018, the city's intelligent equipment enterprises have reached 260, providing support for the intelligent upgrading of local manufacturing enterprises.

At present, the city of Foshan on the West Bank of the Pearl River puts forward the orientation of "national manufacturing innovation center", is taking intelligent manufacturing as the main direction of attack, and speeds up the pformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry.

In the meantime, Foshan has highlighted the demonstration and guidance, giving full play to the exemplary leading role of the two provincial intelligent manufacturing demonstration bases in Nanhai District and Shunde District, and summarizing and promoting the pformation experience of different industries, so that enterprises can see the effect and find the way.

At the same time, Foshan has actively occupied the commanding heights of advanced equipment and technology, nurturing leading enterprises in intelligent manufacturing, and encouraged enterprises to quickly control advanced international technology through overseas mergers and acquisitions, and promote the improvement of manufacturing level.

At present, there are about 100 robot research and development enterprises in Foshan, covering the whole industrial chain, and more than 300 intelligent equipment manufacturing enterprises above designated size.

The acquisition of the German KUKA robot by the US group has become a classic case of the traditional manufacturing robot industry.
