How to grasp the general trend of intelligent manufacturing

 How should robot companies grasp the general trend of intelligent manufacturing and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing?

The world is currently facing major changes unseen in a century. Opportunities and challenges coexist. The new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation represented by artificial intelligence, digital economy, and bioeconomy are greatly changing the development trend of manufacturing and promoting the emergence of manufacturing. New development features.

With the application and development of a new round of information technology revolution such as artificial intelligence, 5G, Internet of Things, and cloud computing, while promoting technological innovation, it has also become the source of power to promote the transformation and upgrading of the global manufacturing industry. In recent years, in terms of the total amount of industrial production and exports, China has become a veritable "manufacturing country", but it has not been able to rank among the world's largest manufacturing industries and still has a certain distance from the "manufacturing power".

The reason is that my country's manufacturing industry is generally "big but not strong", and it has deficiencies in independent innovation, resource utilization, industrial structure, informatization, quality and efficiency, and there is a clear gap with European and American countries. Specifically, the domestic manufacturing industry generally has problems such as high energy consumption and low industrial added value. At the same time, with the emergence of a series of problems such as rising global energy prices and rising labor and land costs in recent years, it is gradually squeezing the profit margin of China's manufacturing industry.

To this end, the state issued "Made in China 2025". In the latest 14th Five-Year Plan, comprehensively improving the development quality and level of China’s manufacturing industry is a major strategic deployment, making China a strong manufacturing country, and plans to build China by 2045. A strong manufacturing country with global leadership and influence lays a solid foundation.

Among them, it is clear that smart production is the main line of smart manufacturing, and smart factories are the main carriers of smart production.

Simply put, the smart factory is to further integrate intelligence into the entire production and manufacturing process, build an intelligent production system, networked and distributed production facilities, connect people, machines, methods, materials, and rings, and integrate multi-dimensional intelligence. the process of. Therefore, the smart factory is not only an intelligent factory form, but needs to fully integrate smart elements into the factory and production process to achieve efficient production, reduce costs, and build a new round of intelligent factory revolution. Everything is for efficiency, and everything is designed and developed for intelligent manufacturing.

According to GE estimates, a 1% increase in manufacturing efficiency will bring about US$10 trillion in global GDP growth. Intelligent manufacturing, as the name suggests, is to inject intelligent elements such as robots into the manufacturing industry to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce labor costs, thereby obtaining substantial economic benefits and returns. Therefore, intelligent manufacturing will become an important starting point and direction for enterprises to improve efficiency and realize transformation and upgrading.

Empower the 3C industry and build a smart factory

It is foreseeable that with the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend, smart production will gradually become the main line of smart manufacturing, and smart factories will be the main carrier of smart production in the future.

Simply put, the smart factory is to further integrate intelligence into the entire production and manufacturing process, build an intelligent production system, networked and distributed production facilities, connect people, machines, methods, materials, and rings, and integrate multi-dimensional intelligence. the process of. Therefore, the smart factory is not only an intelligent factory form, but also needs to fully integrate smart elements into the factory and production process in order to achieve efficient production, reduce costs, and build a new round of intelligent factory revolution. Everything is for efficiency, and everything is designed and developed for intelligent manufacturing.

As robots are an important carrier of intelligent chemical factories, many manufacturing companies will inevitably try to use robots to reduce production costs in the future, and at the same time obtain higher production efficiency. Especially in electronic production lines, there is a lot of repetitive labor, which is boring and tedious. , Machine substitution will be the general trend.

At this exhibition, the global leader in collaborative robot innovation, Jiuka Robot (Booth No.: Hall 9 9D20) also aimed at the smart factory trend of electronic production lines, and brought industry-leading collaborative robot products-Jiuka series of collaborative robots and Smart factories and 5G-related solutions hope that more companies can grasp the development space and opportunities of the smart terminal industry, and create more business opportunities for the booming electronics industry market in South China.

At present, in the 3C electronics industry, due to increased labor costs and rapid product update iterations, companies are looking for the most cost-effective solutions.

And in the smart factories of these enterprises, not only need to be able to achieve force control assembly in the narrow 3C industry, but also need to be able to achieve force control polishing, traction teaching, collision detection and other functions.

At present, the world is embarking on a process of industrialization that is completely different from the past. my country is facing a "window of opportunity" to transform and upgrade existing industries, and we must seize this important opportunity to further promote industrialization. Comply with the trend of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, step up efforts in cutting-edge technology industries and strategic emerging industries, as well as green, intelligent, and service-oriented, and realize the transition from "Made in China" to "Created in China" and "China "Speed" changes to "Chinese quality", "Chinese products" to "Chinese brands", and towards the mid-to-high end of the global value chain.

According to the “Smart Factory Report” published by Capgemini Consulting in May 2017, the world’s leading provider of management consulting, information technology and outsourcing services, investment in smart factories in the next five years will boost productivity by 27%. It is estimated that by the end of 2022, 21% of factories will become smart factories, adding 500 billion US dollars to the global economy. Therefore, smart factories will not only promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises themselves, but also contribute to the development of the industry and the revitalization of the economy.
