Up to date information on how smart manufacturing is possible

Intelligent manufacturing is based on a new generation of information technology, through design, production, management, service and other aspects of manufacturing activities, with information depth self-perception, intelligent optimization of self-decision-making, precise control and self-execution and other functions of advanced manufacturing processes, systems and models.

After understanding the definition of intelligent manufacturing, it is not difficult to find that if enterprises want to realize intelligent manufacturing, they must do a good job in improving quality and efficiency with the theme of technology integration, digital, networked and intelligent transformation of professional scenarios, and promote the transformation of manufacturing to "intelligent" manufacturing. The cost reduction and efficiency increase of traditional manufacturing with the theme of service derivation extend to high value-added servitization. The transformation of business model, R&D model, production model, operation model and decision-making model with the theme of model change.

Intelligent manufacturing system is a kind of man-machine integrated intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts, which can be used in a highly flexible and low-integration way in the manufacturing process to simulate the intelligent activities of human experts in the manufacturing process for analysis, reasoning, judgment, conception and decision-making, so as to replace or extend part of the mental work of people in the manufacturing environment. At the same time, collect, store, improve, share, integrate and develop the intelligence of human experts.

Characteristics: Self-organizing ability; self-discipline; self-learning and self-maintenance capabilities; Intelligent inheritance across the manufacturing environment.

Smart manufacturing stems from the research of artificial intelligence. Intelligence is generally considered to be the sum of knowledge and intelligence, the former being the basis of intelligence, and the latter referring to the ability to acquire and apply knowledge to solve problems. Intelligent manufacturing should include intelligent manufacturing technology and intelligent manufacturing system, which can not only continuously enrich the knowledge base in practice, have self-learning function, but also have the ability to collect and understand environmental information and their own information, and analyze and judge and plan their own behavior.

Intelligent manufacturing is inseparable from the common interaction and participation of intelligent systems and human experts, it is a man-machine intelligent production, deep interaction of the manufacturing system, through the intelligent operation activities in the manufacturing process and the cooperation between people and intelligent machines, the use of anthropomorphic thinking methods such as analysis, reasoning, judgment, conception and decision-making to expand and extend the traditional directive operation mode of its machine. It is a conceptual update of manufacturing automation, which repeatedly expands the large volume of the traditional production and manufacturing process to flexibility, intelligence and high integration.

Yiyun Technology's understanding of "intelligent manufacturing" is like this:

Intelligent manufacturing is actually a human-machine integrated intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts, which can replace people in the production and manufacturing process to carry out various intelligent activities. For example, analysis, reasoning, judgment, ideation, decision-making, and so on.

The way that Yiyun Technology has learned about the new generation of information technology to upgrade "intelligent manufacturing" can be carried out from the following three aspects:

Production: from "homogeneity" to "personalization":

The success or failure of manufacturing enterprises often lies in the degree of customer recognition of products, and when the pursuit of individuality has become the consensus of the times, products can meet the diversified and personalized needs of customers has become the key to the success or failure of manufacturing enterprises.

Products: from "mechanical" to "intelligent":

By adding a large number of electronic technologies to the product and connecting with the cloud, each included object is equivalent to a smart terminal, which continuously records the static information of the product itself and the dynamic information of the surrounding environment changes, and uploads it to the terminal service management platform. Based on the analysis of a large amount of data, the product will gradually "understand" the customer, "know" the "self", perceive the customer's own special situation and its own changes, and make real-time feedback on specific occasions.

Industry: from "production" to "service".

According to the "smile curve" value theory, the high value-added links of the manufacturing industry are mainly concentrated in the front-end R & D design and back-end manufacturing services, while the added value of the manufacturing part in the middle is getting lower and lower, the manufacturing industry needs to seek new growth momentum, it must extend to both ends of the "smile curve", and the application of big data is providing an opportunity for it to realize the transformation to the manufacturing service industry.
