Unmanned automated production lines, "private-ordered" refrigerators via the Internet, and home-use design with artificial intelligence ... In the face of smart trends, traditional manufacturing is struggling to transform. What is the future smart factory? How can Chinese manufacturing keep up with even lead the trend of intelligence? A group of well-known experts in the academic and industrial circles recently exchanged the latest achievements in artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing, and discussed how to achieve "China's advantages." Unmanned: smart manufacturing is not empty In a smart manufacturing demonstration plant in Jiangsu, the number of workers on the adjusted production line dropped drastically. From material distribution, assembly to packaging, the scene of turbulence in the old factory buildings could not be seen. But does the smart factory mean that the factory is empty? Experts say not necessarily. “A lot of people have misunderstood the Industry 4.0 and think that it is unmanned production. In fact, what we want to achieve in the next 10 years is not the unmanned production but the combined production.†One, Wolfgang Walst, CEO of the German Artificial Intelligence Research Center said. Valst believes that the next step in industrialization is large-scale, personalized production. In other words, factories will produce products in small batches, at high frequencies, and sometimes even produce only one product. This requires the factory to adjust the manufacturing plan in real time and automatically. "Machine and people must cooperate, the machine must be able to recognize the work carried out by people, while complying with a corresponding set of rules." Valst said that promoting real-time production line balance and predictive maintenance, and promote machine learning, deep learning, To promote automatic planning and design, these three points are crucial for smart manufacturing. Digitization: Data Unicom Lets Machines Learn on Their Own Massive parcels are constantly scanned, identified, data-processed, and positioned for distribution 24 hours a day. This is the courier's new robot sorting system that can sort 70,000 parcels in one hour, with an accuracy of 99%. From the experts' point of view, all devices and products in the smart factory are connected through the Internet of Things, and all production is operated through product memory. Academician of the European Academy of Sciences, Hans Uskert, dean of the Infinite Institute of Artificial Intelligence, said that when a product is turned on the production line, the machine will tell itself what to do without reprogramming the machine. The machine learns through the product. . “People are now mainly concerned with how to digitize within the company, but what's more important is how to combine the internal and external data of the company,†Uschkert said. Gao Baowei, executive vice president of the Qingdao Haier Institute of Industrial Intelligence, said that Haier has built an industrial Internet platform in recent years. The core is for end users. All aspects of design, manufacturing, and procurement are unified and open to respond quickly to user needs. Standardization: "China's smart manufacturing" should establish a technical threshold Industry experts said that the current domestic smart manufacturing equipment is more system integration, after the introduction of foreign advanced hardware and software, "building blocks" for the specific needs of various production companies. "The technical foundation is not conclusive, and intelligent manufacturing is passive water." Shi Shengjun, vice president of the HIT Group, believes that domestic smart manufacturing equipment manufacturers should first establish industry alliances, establish a standardized system, and then integrate the application of specific scenarios to enhance the digitalization of process equipment. Automation level. He suggested that we should strengthen exchanges with Germany and other advanced manufacturing powers, especially personnel exchanges, and introduce and digest advanced technologies. At the same time, in combination with domestic manufacturing fields, examples will be made in suitable application scenarios and joint promotion will be carried out.
