Under The Wave Of New Infrastructure Construction, How To Reconstruct The New Ecology Of Intelligent Manufacturing?

At present, the wave of new infrastructure is providing new impetus for the upgrading of manufacturing industry. Whether it is cloud computing, industrial Internet, 5g, AI and other technologies, it is releasing huge energy and realizing deep integration with various scenes of manufacturing, forming a more open, integrated and collaborative intelligent and digital ecosystem.

However, intellectualization is not only the surface informatization, it involves the transformation of the whole system behind, from the digitization of each manufacturing link, the data flow of each scene, to the life cycle management of products, and so on. This is not a one-day feat. We need to take root in the industry, closely combine technology with industry, and gradually reduce costs and increase efficiency.

In the digital market, manufacturing enterprises and technology providers are facing a broad market, but also facing various challenges.

On September 27, at the "2020 China intelligent manufacturing industry annual meeting" sponsored by the 21st century economic report, Wei Kaiyan, general manager of Schneider Electric's green intelligent manufacturing consulting, said that the key to intelligent manufacturing is not the amount of investment and the advanced level of equipment.

"In the process of communication with many entrepreneurs, we will have doubts about the return and effect of intelligent manufacturing investment." "Judging from Schneider's many years of experience, we should first identify the business form of the whole supply chain, and then refine it to each scenario, and then gradually develop it," Wei said

Intelligent and Digital Blue Ocean

Under the new infrastructure, intelligent and digital transformation of all walks of life has opened a new blue ocean.

In the face of the huge market, enterprises make further efforts, not only leading companies in various industries can provide external empowerment, but also small and medium-sized, entrepreneurial companies provide technical solutions.

Among them, the industry giants have obvious advantages. For example, Huawei, Shugen Internet, Schneider and other enterprises have both manufacturing experience and technical strength. On the basis of their own intelligent practice, they can export mature systems to the outside world, and have rich experience in b-end service.

There are many solutions for Huawei, such as the Internet, the Internet and the manufacturing. Guo Feng, head of the industry solutions Department of Huawei's China government enterprise intelligent manufacturing business department, said at the "2020 China intelligent manufacturing industry annual meeting," many machines and equipment used to be connected in the traditional way. At present, 94% of the connections in the entire industrial industry are wired, and 6% are in wireless connection. By 2030, we predict that about half of them will be carried by wireless means, with more drivers coming from the manufacturing industry, and more and more flexible and changeable market demand. "

According to Chen Yiping, vice president of Shugen Internet Technology Co., Ltd., under the dual influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020 and the new international situation, the industrial Internet, combined with the current 5g, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence and other technologies, can help the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, make up for the shortcomings in the current industrial chain, and form a domestic and international dual cycle phase with the domestic big cycle as the main body A benign industrial development pattern of mutual promotion. In the specific practice, enterprises can form the driving force of industrial interconnection through the networking, digitization and intellectualization of industrial Internet technology, so as to realize the comprehensive coordination of the whole value chain through the enterprise's R & D, manufacturing, marketing, logistics, post service, etc.

Wei Kaiyan said that recent years are the key stage of China's industrial upgrading, and the core connotation is to build a powerful country with intelligent manufacturing. At present, Schneider has more than 200 factories and logistics centers in the world. Of these more than 200 factories, 80 have been successfully transformed into intelligent factories, and three of them have been selected as "beacon factories" by the world economic forum. "The factories that were rated did not have particularly advanced equipment." Wei Kaiyan said, "the key is to form a harmonious collective of people, equipment and business forms."

How to build an ecosystem?

In the current digital market, facing the new opportunities of intelligent manufacturing, Internet enterprises begin to become "hard", and hardware enterprises increasingly emphasize "soft" strength. In the future, it is not only the original endowment of enterprises, but also the comprehensive strength of the industrial chain. How to really solve the pain points and build the industrial ecosystem is also the focus of the industry.

"From a higher point of view, we should put our manufacturing system on the far side." Wei Yan needs to adjust the supply chain accordingly

Secondly, because many enterprises are still groping at this stage, he suggested that we might as well open up a little bit and establish their own "circle of friends". Even if they are unable to share specific technical details, they can also inspire each other through communication. "At the same time, we can build a platform by providing various intelligent manufacturing services and equipment, and we can do things well together based on such a platform."

Finally, a good ecosystem needs a healthy soil. "For example, some government departments need to regulate the industry, some policies for financial support, including clear rules for data security, including personnel training in Colleges and universities and Research on some basic theories, are very important for future intelligent manufacturing." Wei Kaiyan said.

At the same time, there are still many challenges in the process of industrial upgrading and building the ecosystem.

In the field of digital post service, Chen Yiping thinks that the current industry still faces many pain points. For example, manufacturing enterprises are faced with high maintenance costs and difficult supervision in terms of service. In terms of sales, it is impossible to identify which high-quality customers are and how to tap the resale opportunities of high-quality customers. However, these problems are not without solutions.

"The solution is essentially the networking, digitization and intellectualization of the industry." Chen Yiping said that the first step is networking, that is, a series of networking between all industrial equipment, manufacturing processes, factories and enterprises. The second step of digitization can only be carried out through networking, that is, new data sources can be formed through digitization, and the final intellectualization can be solved by solving digitalization. Through intellectualization, the gap between new technology and manufacturing enterprises can be bridged, and the post market service will be more intelligent.

In the view of Jin xuzhe, CTO of Zhejiang xinzailing Technology Co., Ltd., first of all, digitalization of any scene must be applied with digitization, and secondly, it should be fully scene oriented. In addition, on the biosphere, Jin xuzhe said: "in the process of building an ecosystem, I think we should analyze every piece of data from the perspective of data. Each person in the ecosystem produces data value, and many links will be involved in the application process. Different data should be integrated or distributed to each link. Therefore, it is very important to analyze from such an angle. "
