REVIEW: Smart + general trend is not only manufacturing, but also means that we will usher in a new era of Smart + manufacture.
As we all know, although China has become globally recognized as a big manufacturing country, but the advantage of China's manufacturing industry is mainly reflected in the manufacturing cost, or even mainly concentrated in the resource-intensive, labor-intensive industries. In the superposition recent years, China's manufacturing industry is facing the dual pressures of rising labor and raw material costs, the level of the traditional cost advantage gradually disappear, transformation of the entire manufacturing industry is imminent.
Therefore, in his government work report this year, they explicitly mentioned the need to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, especially around high-quality development of the manufacturing sector, strengthen the industrial base and technological innovation, promote the integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industry development, accelerate the construction of manufacturing power.
It is noteworthy that, when push comes to transform and upgrade traditional industries, high-quality development around the manufacturing sector, the government work report with special emphasis on "expanding the 'Smart +', enabling to upgrade the manufacturing industries."
In this process, how to integrate into the manufacturing Smart +? Smart + in which dimensions can help manufacturing "cost efficiency"? What pain points and difficulties in the process of landing it in there?
Future Smart + manufacturing era has come
We know about the new technology enabling manufacturing, in fact, the whole concept of industry there have been many over the last few years, for example, a "smart + manufacturing," Internet + Manufacturing "and" manufacture artificial intelligence + ", then what exactly these concepts different places?
In fact, the "Intelligent Manufacturing" more emphasis on the traditional industrial manufacturing to software applications, in essence, is to solve the digital + automation; and "Internet + manufacturing" sucked Internet tools applied to the manufacturing sector, the emphasis is supply and demand the docking and balancing, in recent years a large hot "Internet industry" is the industry point of view of Internet + mode; "+ manufacture artificial intelligence", focusing on artificial intelligence technology into manufacturing is the foundation in the digital, networked the intelligent, the core is whether the machine can have a "line" of autonomy.
Visible from the "intelligent manufacturing" process to "Internet + made" to today's "smart + made" behind it is iterative and evolutionary new technology enabling the manufacturing sector, the reason lies in the integration of artificial intelligence and related technologies, while various aspects of the progressive realization of the manufacturing efficiency optimization through machine learning, and ultimately to achieve the ultimate goal of "man-machine fusion of collaborative manufacturing".
Then, "Smart + made" exactly what impact on the traditional manufacturing industry? We can do observe three dimensions:
First, look at the dimensions increase productivity, namely by introducing artificial intelligence technologies, allows you to minimize human error, continuous improvement processes, improve product rate; moreover, through the introduction of intelligent robots, but also can reduce the repetitive, dangerous work, achieve cost savings while allowing the production of waste, time and other aspects.
Second, optimize the industrial structure dimension, large-scale application of artificial intelligence technology, while greatly transform traditional industrial structure, but also new and transform existing industries, such as injection of "smart +" of power, the automobile industry you can add new types of products, such as "autonomous vehicles" will be able to faster mass production; not only that, around all aspects of manufacturing, but also gave birth to more new smart + newly manufactured.
Third, the international division of labor dimensional reconstruction of view, by improving production efficiency, and then optimize the industrial structure, is bound to greatly enhance the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry in the global market, so that more Chinese manufacturing companies to compete more value space, the real "manufacturing power" goal.
It should be said, compared to the rest of the world, the status and importance of China's manufacturing industry in the national economy should be higher, it can be said that artificial intelligence will provide more room for development. MGI (McKinsey Global Institute) projections suggest that 51% of Chinese future work can be automated, artificial intelligence, expects the driving force of China's economic growth will reach 1.3 percent, higher than the world average.
Thus, not only is the trend Smart + manufacturing also means that we will usher in a new era of Smart + manufacture.
