Iterative updates from numbers to smart implementations

The keynote speaker who released this research report is Zhou Ji, President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. "If digital and networked manufacturing are the beginning of a new round of industrial revolution, then the breakthrough and widespread application of a new generation of intelligent manufacturing will form the climax of this industrial revolution." Zhou Ji said that intelligent manufacturing runs through products, manufacturing and services. Throughout the entire life cycle, products and equipment will develop from digital to intelligent generation in the next 20 years and become a huge engine for economic and social development.

According to Zhou Ji, intelligent manufacturing can be divided into three basic methods according to the historical evolution process: digital manufacturing, digital network manufacturing, and digital networked intelligent manufacturing. Digital manufacturing is represented by digital control, and computer integrated system is the symbol; digital network manufacturing connects people, data and things through the Internet. Through the collaboration of companies and enterprises, they share and integrate social resources and reshape the manufacturing value chain. Digital networked integration of intelligent manufacturing is a new generation of intelligent manufacturing. The cause is the accelerated development of artificial intelligence in recent years and the achievement of strategic breakthroughs, making the manufacturing system capable of learning, through deep learning, enhanced learning, applied to manufacturing, and knowledge. Acquiring revolutionary changes in the use and transmission efficiency.

"If the first-generation and second-generation intelligent manufacturing is 'to give the fish,' the third-generation intelligent manufacturing is 'to teach it to fish'." Zhou Ji said that in the digital manufacturing and digital network manufacturing stage, people put themselves The part of the perceptual analysis and decision-making function forward to the information system replication; and in the digital networked intelligent manufacturing stage, the machine and equipment not only has powerful perceptual computing analysis and control capabilities, but also has the ability to learn and enhance and generate knowledge, "the future, the third The generation of intelligent manufacturing will transform from weak artificial intelligence to strong artificial intelligence. It will free humans from more physical labor and a large amount of mental work and engage in more meaningful creative work. Human thinking will further develop into Internet thinking and big data thinking. And AI thinking changes."

From tandem to parallel promote the development of fusion

From digitization, networking, to intelligence, iterative upgrading of smart manufacturing, and the development of decades of Western developed countries. In China, since the 1980s, companies have made tremendous progress in promoting digital manufacturing, but most companies and the vast majority of SMEs have not yet completed digital transformation. Experts attending the forum believe that at present, China is in a crucial period of moving from manufacturing to becoming a powerful country. We must take advantage of our latecomer, promote and integrate the development of three generations of smart manufacturing, and forge China's "making new forces."

In fact, as we enter the new century, as new generations of information technologies such as mobile Internet supercomputing, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things are changing with each passing day, China has created a mass leap in many areas such as mobile Internet and artificial intelligence. “The era of the personal computer is the era of the United States. High-tech products are exported globally; but in the era of the Internet of Things, our advantage has been greatly weakened.” “The Father of the Internet of Things,” the founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Automatic Recognition Center Kevin Ashton said that since 2004, China has surpassed the United States as the world's leading exporter of high-tech products. Today, in the era of the Internet of Things, U.S. exports have fallen by 75% compared with the PC era. The chief scientist of the digital economy at the Sloan School of Management at MIT also first appeared in China for innovative products and applications for the mobile internet, and then extended its envy to the world.

"The next 20 years will be the critical period for the overtaking of smart manufacturing lanes in China." Zhou Ji said that China will promote smart manufacturing in two phases. From the present stage to 2025, the first stage will be divided into two steps. From the first step to 2020, digital networked manufacturing will be widely promoted throughout the country and the “digital transformation” lesson will be completed. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta should be fully applied, and at the same time, a new generation of intelligent manufacturing will be explored successfully in some areas. From the second step to 2025, digital networked manufacturing was popularized throughout the country and used in depth. A new generation of smart manufacturing achieved remarkable results in pilot demonstrations in key areas and was promoted and applied in some enterprises. In the second phase, from 2025 to 2035, a new generation of intelligent manufacturing will be implemented in the manufacturing industry on a large scale, and intelligent upgrading of China's manufacturing industry will be realized.

Show "national power" from manufacturing to service

Digital network intelligent manufacturing promotes the new industrial revolution because the scope of application is omnipresent. From smart products, smart production to intelligent services, it profoundly affects people's lives. Smartphones have become "standard" people. Experts predict that the future of smart cars, service robots will also enter people's lives. Products such as home appliances, toys, medical equipment, etc., because smart manufacturing is more flexible and personalized, customers can place orders and participate in production according to their needs. In key areas and key equipment, intelligent manufacturing of motion control will show "national strength." China will create "industrial brains" through intelligent manufacturing in the ten key areas such as aerospace, rail transportation, shipping and marine equipment, and create a "great power device."

The customization of production brought by smart manufacturing will promote the development of enterprises from manufacturing to manufacturing and service. General Electric of the United States through custom production, remote real-time analysis and control of engine operations, charging equipment operations and maintenance costs by the hour. Inspired by this, CRRC's "Fuxing" has more than 2,500 sensors on its train. It not only controls the train operations throughout its entire life cycle, but also gives timely feedback to the driver's driving status through video surveillance. It immediately detects anomalies and prompts them to run safely. Zhou Ji introduced that in the next 3 to 5 years, China will promote a new generation of artificial intelligence teleservices in such fields as wind power generation, helicopters, and meter water meters.

Plants, workshops, and production lines are the “main battlefields” for smart manufacturing upgrades. Before the speech of the chairman of the Gree Group, Dong Mingzhu, the Gree robotic band “accompanied” played a passionate “singing country”. Dong Mingzhu introduced that in Gree's "Product Department", not only intelligent air-conditioning was installed on submarines, but also "new members" such as robots, smart equipment, and numerical control machine tools were expanded. According to Liu Hualong, chairman of CRRC Group, the "China Standard" of the 254 key standards of "Fuxing" accounted for 84%. It is a Chinese standard EMU with full intellectual property rights. Nowadays, according to the "Made in China 2025" plan, they formulate the "China Railway Edition 2025", invest 3 billion yuan to plan 15 intelligent manufacturing special projects, develop trackless trains and unmanned public transportation, and open up new areas for smart transportation and smart cities.
