At the close of the party's 19th National Congress, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, president of the country, and chairman of the Central Military Commission, went to the Beijing Exhibition Hall on September 25 to visit the "Great Five Years of Progress" exhibition. The world's largest submersible deepest operation manned submersible "Changlong" model, China's first independently developed 400-horsepower continuously variable tractor, strong military journey voyage weaponry model ... reflects the achievements of China's manufacturing industry The physical model appeared on the exhibition hall. In the past five years, a piece of “Great Power†has emerged. The high-end equipment manufacturing industry, one of the seven strategic emerging industries, has produced dazzling transcripts: "Hualong No. 1", an autonomous third-generation nuclear power equipment with millions of kilowatts of power, adopting the highest international safety standards, reveals yet another "business card" made in China; The domestic aviation engine broke through the bottleneck, transported the 20th and the 20th in service, and made the first flight of the domestically-made large aircraft C919. China's aviation industry has made historic breakthroughs; The world's largest cement transport ship will be delivered successfully. The world's largest container ship will be built in Shanghai. The first domestic aircraft carrier and new-type 10,000-ton destroyer will be launched one after another. The world's largest shipbuilding nation is making great strides towards shipbuilding power... Behind the results, since the party’s 18th National Congress, many new industries with high technology, high added value, and adapting to the trend of transformation and upgrading have grown into new engines for promoting the development of China's manufacturing industry, which strongly stimulates economic growth. From 2013 to 2016, the average annual growth rate of China’s high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing industry was higher than the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size by 3.8 and 1.4 percentage points respectively. From January to July this year, this advantage is further expanded to 5.3 and 4.1 percentage points. The key to the rapid growth of new industries lies in the farsightedness and strategic planning of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. In 2015, China introduced “Made in China 2025â€, which clearly stated the strategic objectives, major tasks, and major measures for the construction of a “three-step†manufacturing powerhouse, and described the blueprint for the first decade of building a strong country. In the past five years, China's manufacturing industry has taken the lead in the world, and its added value and product exports have accounted for the world's largest share. At present, a complete and independent system has been established. China has undoubtedly become a manufacturing power. After the "Great Powers", manufacturing "powerful countries" became the new target. What is the path from "big power" to "powerful country"? The deep integration of informatization and industrialization is a “nice noseâ€. "Made in China 2025," clearly stated that "to accelerate the integration of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing depth of the main line." In order to do a good job in the integration of the “two aspectsâ€, China formulated and organized 50 plans and special action plans to form top-level designs, policy systems, organizational guarantees, and working mechanisms that promote the deep integration of “two aspectsâ€. Under the “main line†of the integration of “Two Chemicals,†China’s smart manufacturing is the main target, implementing special initiatives for smart manufacturing specialization and smart manufacturing pilots, setting up a national smart manufacturing standard system, and building a number of digital workshops. A number of replicable and extendable models have been formed. In the past five years, smart factories have taken root in many companies. Among them, in the civilian sector, Haier, which already has eight interconnected factories, is quite representative. At present, a washing machine will be born every 15 seconds on a smart factory production line in Haier. In the interconnected factories, the number of workers is reduced by half, while the production capacity is increased by 2 times. In the flexible production line, more than 50 models can be arranged, which is five times the previous one. The interconnection plant's production efficiency has increased by 60%, and the user-defined ratio has reached more than 10%. Among them, the central air-conditioner interconnection factory has achieved 100% of products customized and monitored by users. On October 9, 2016, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee carried out its thirty-sixth collective learning on the strategy of implementing a strategy of building a strong network of nations. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his study that the world economy has accelerated its transformation into an economic activity that takes the Internet information technology industry as an important content. We must seize this historic opportunity to nurture new momentum with information and use new momentum to promote new development. We must increase investment, strengthen the construction of information infrastructure, promote the deep integration of the Internet and the real economy, accelerate the digitalization and intelligence of traditional industries, enlarge and strengthen the digital economy, and expand the new space for economic development. For Lu Yongxiang, former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee and former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the first half of the 21st century, the industrial manufacturing civilization will evolve into a network of collaborative, intellectual civilizations. "The transformation of China's manufacturing industry is ushering in new opportunities and new challenges in meeting the new technological revolution and global manufacturing service transition." What is intelligent manufacturing? The current academic mainstream view is: Intelligent Manufacturing (IM) is a human-machine integrated intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts. It can perform intelligent activities such as analysis in the manufacturing process. , reasoning, judgments, ideas, decisions, etc. Through the cooperation of humans and intelligent machines, we expand, extend, and partially replace the mental work of human experts in the manufacturing process. A number of interviewees told the China Economic Weekly reporter that updating the concept of manufacturing automation to be flexible, intelligent, and highly integrated is the main feature that distinguishes intelligent manufacturing from “pipelining and machine productionâ€. According to Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, smart manufacturing is more specific and direct, which is to develop a number of intelligent products. For example, existing industrial robots (22.100, 0.17, 0.78%) are only program-controlled devices, and the next-generation robots should be robots with certain "artificial intelligence." For example, he said, "For example, if a person mistakenly operates it, he is likely to be injured by a robot. If artificial intelligence is to be implemented on a robot in the future, then it will find that people within a safe distance nearby will not operate. This is an intelligent product. symbols of." Ren Baoping, Dean of the School of Economics and Management of Northwest University, believes that as the core manufacturing of China Manufacturing 2025, smart manufacturing mainly includes three aspects: First, develop a batch of intelligent products; Second, apply information technology to manufacturing The entire process of business management enables the production and management process to be intelligent. Third, at the micro level of the enterprise, information is fully exchanged and shared, and an industrial Internet or Internet of Things is established. The National Will and Realistic Demand behind "China's Intellectual Creation" On May 8, 2015, the State Council issued "Made in China 2025". It is also from 2015 that "China Made 2025" appeared in the government work report for three consecutive years. The government work report for 2015 first proposed “Made in China 2025â€. In 2016, it entered the stage of “initiation and implementationâ€, and in 2017 it put forward “in-depth implementationâ€. "Made in China 2025" includes the "1+X" planning system and has all been released so far. "1" refers to "Made in China 2025," and "X" refers to 11 supporting documents. Among the 11 supporting documents, there is a dedicated one. For smart manufacturing, the "Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering Implementation Guide (2016-2020)". Zhou Ji, president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that digitalization of the manufacturing industry is the core technology of the new round of industrial revolution. It should be the commanding height, breakthrough point, and main attack direction of the “Made in China 2025â€. Gao Yanmin, Director of the Consumer Products Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "Accelerating the implementation of smart manufacturing is the main direction for implementing the "Made in China 2025." “Made in China 2025†clearly stated that it will focus on the development of smart equipment and smart products, promote the intelligentization of production processes, cultivate new production methods, and comprehensively improve the level of intelligence in corporate R&D, production, management, and services. Under the "top-level design," relevant localities have successively issued relevant action plans to fully link "Made in China 2025." Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan, and Anhui Provinces respectively promulgated the "<Made in China 2025> Jiangsu Action Plan," "Guangdong Province Smart Manufacturing Development Plan (2015-2025)," "Fujian Province Implementation of <Made in China 2025> Action Plan," "< China made 2025> Sichuan Action Plan "China Made 2025 Anhui Chapter" and other documents to speed up the construction of a strong province. Hebei proposed to build 1500 smart factories and workshops in the next five years. The goal of Jiangsu is to build 1,000 smart factories by 2025, and to develop and apply 1,000 first (sets) of major equipment, of which more than 50% will fill the domestic gap. Zhejiang plans to have more than 100,000 industrial robots in service by the year 2020. In February this year, Chengdu’s “China Construction 2025†Pilot Demonstration City Implementation Plan was approved. Chengdu has become the third batch in the country and the first group in the western region following the city groups of Ningbo City, Southern Jiangsu, and the Pearl River Delta. Manufacture 2025 pilot demonstration cities. The construction of professional parks for intelligent manufacturing is also in full swing. “The total number of smart manufacturing industrial parks in China, including 3D printing, robotics, drones, CNC machine tools, and smart equipment, is expected to be 100.†Deputy Director and Secretary-General Xu Xiaolan said. The future of China’s “intelligent creation†will be broad. The "2016 China Manufacturing Competitiveness Survey Report" predicts that by 2025, China's smart manufacturing can complete more than 50% of the process; in 2035, it can complete 70% of the process; in 2045, 90% of the process can be completed. In 2049, the level of smart manufacturing went hand in hand with the developed countries, even leading the development in several areas. The intelligent manufacturing industry on the “outlet†has a huge imagination and is being favored by all kinds of capital. The “2016-2020 China Smart Manufacturing Industry Deploitation and Investment Forecast Report†issued by China Investment Advisors believes that China's smart manufacturing output will be around 1 trillion yuan in 2015, and it is expected to exceed RMB 3 trillion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate. About 20%. Minister Miao Wei stated that through the intelligent or information-based production process, the entire process can be optimized, all links are monitored, the rate of bad products can be greatly reduced, and the trend of increasing labor costs in China can be complied with, which will greatly increase efficiency and efficiency. Lu Yongxiang believes that intelligent manufacturing can realize high-quality manufacturing of complex parts; promote green manufacturing; can adapt to customers' individualization and customization needs; and promote the transition to intelligent service-based manufacturing; it is the only way to improve labor productivity in China's manufacturing industry. Taking the fine industries of aerospace, shipbuilding and other industries as an example, many components with complex structures and high processing quality require on-line monitoring and real-time intelligent control of operating conditions to significantly improve manufacturing quality and efficiency. Smartphones, ultrabooks, smart TVs, robots and other products are also used for industrial production because of the high-quality, high-volume manufacturing of precision components for smart production lines. From "Manufacturing" to "Intelligent Creation", China's "Parallel Connection" Development Path China is a veritable “manufacturing countryâ€, with more than 220 kinds of industrial products ranked first in the world, net exports of manufacturing industry ranking first in the world, and the added value of manufacturing industry accounting for 20.8% of the world’s total. However, the data shows that smart manufacturing is still one of the shortcomings of China's manufacturing industry at this stage. The Development Research Center of the State Council, together with Bosch, a famous German industrial company, released a research report in March this year: China's manufacturing industry is still in the stage of transition from Industry 2.0 to Industry 3.0. The "2016-2020 China's smart manufacturing industry in-depth research and investment forecast report" stated that most Chinese companies are in the R&D phase, and only 16% of the companies have entered the smart manufacturing application phase; from the perspective of the economic benefits of smart manufacturing, 52% The contribution rate of corporate smart manufacturing revenue is less than 10%, and 60% of corporate smart manufacturing profits contribute less than 10%. According to the results of the "2015 China Manufacturing Informatization Research" published by the "World Manager," the results show that nearly 90 percent of China's manufacturing enterprises are in the early and middle levels of information, and information-based coverage is relatively narrow, and each system is in a fragmented state. low. In 2015, the numerical control rate of key processes in China's manufacturing industry was only one-third, and large and medium-sized manufacturing companies also just over 50%. The United States, Germany, Japan and other countries have reached 80% to 90% of the NC rate of manufacturing. In addition, industrial software is also one of the constraints of smart manufacturing in China. Taking the embedded software, the core link of smart manufacturing, as an example, in 2016, China's software business revenue was 4.9 trillion yuan, of which embedded system software was 799.7 billion yuan, accounting for only one-sixth. Judging from the phase of industrial development, German Industry 4.0 is a development strategy proposed after the successful completion of “Industry 1.0†and “Industry 2.0†and basically completed “Industry 3.0â€, and is a natural “tandem type†development. In contrast, China's manufacturing industry is following the parallel development path of "Industry 2.0", "Industry 3.0", and "Industry 4.0" demonstrations. "So our task is more complicated than Germany's implementation of Industry 4.0. It is even more arduous," said Zhou Ji, president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. For example, Zhou Ji said that the situation facing “Made in China†is not optimistic: on the one hand, it is the external competitive market, the international high-end and low-end squeezes, and the manufacturing pressure is excessive; on the other hand, there are many constraints on the internal environment and “going out of realityâ€. It is still obvious that there is insufficient driving force for manufacturing. Under this background, there is still a lot to be done in the political and business sectors to complete the leap from “manufacturing†to “intelligentâ€. The government needs innovation and linkage. Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that in view of the law of the development of manufacturing industries, it is necessary to promote deep and continuous policy innovations in terms of supporting means and socialized services in the promotion of the manufacturing industry. The implementation of “Made in China 2025†involves multiple departments. How to truly realize the linkage of inter-departmental policy resources still requires unremitting efforts and exploration. "This requires a process of constant exploration, trial and error. It is difficult to do it all at once, and it cannot be rushed for success." As the main body of innovation decision-making, R&D investment, scientific research organization and application of results, enterprises need to propose localization requirements for smart solutions in the process of industrial transformation and upgrading. According to Bai Jinfu, former Inspector and Deputy Director of the Bureau of Economic Policy of the Central Policy Research Office and President of the China Economic Research Institute, under the “Made in China 2025†strategic guidelines, the demand for business transformation is urgent, but it currently faces two major problems: First, the transformation The direction and mode are not clear, "simple automation and machine substitution"; second, the standard is not uniform, "companies must face solutions in various fields and at various levels, and it is difficult to integrate and integrate." Liu Jinshan, a professor at the School of Economics at Jinan University, is currently working on a project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China titled "Investigation and Analysis of China's Intellectual Industry's Competitiveness." He also shared the same opinion: At present, smart manufacturing lacks statistical standards and industrial standards, and lacks systematically improved statistical data; the industrial classification catalogue has not yet been established. "It is imperative to establish intelligent manufacturing industry division standards, classification catalogs, and quality certification agencies, and formulate statistical work implementation plans and statistical management methods." Business writing change story Enterprises are the protagonists and market players that realize the “Made in China 2025†blueprint. On September 18th, Bao Shide Science and Technology (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Bao Shideâ€), a power tool manufacturer, held a “Startup Conference for the Transformation Project of Intelligent Manufacturing Business†at its headquarters in Suzhou. Through the development of the interconnection factory, the company gradually achieved online ordering and offline manufacturing of customized products. At present, the company has established an end-to-end intelligent management and implementation system from receipt of orders to planning to production operations. Helping Bao to achieve smart manufacturing at a higher level is Meiyun Zhizhi, a cloud service provider of Midea Group. The digital transformation results of Midea Air Conditioning Plant in the United States attracted Bao Shide: 33% improvement in overall manufacturing efficiency and improved product quality10 %, 68% reduction in production loss and halving of lost logistics time... Meiyun Zhimo said that it will build a full-value-chain plan synergy, supply chain management, and production execution information system platform to help Baoshi finally realize the interconnection of enterprise business and the transformation of smart manufacturing business. In addition to the Chinese manufacturing towns such as Suzhou and Shenzhen, Bao Shide’s revolutionary story is constantly being staged in China. The clothing manufacturer Red Collar Group uses digital technology, human body and version big data, intelligent information logistics and other technologies to achieve customized and personalized customization. The production cycle is shortened to 7 days. In Qingdao, the home appliance giant Haier Group has achieved customized customization and services for smart home appliances. With its Shenyang Refrigerator Factory as an example, it has increased its single-line production capacity by 80%, labor reduction by 60%, and inventory reduction by 80%. The number of smart manufacturing pilot demonstration projects announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology may support the “increment†of smart manufacturing. There were 46 demonstration projects in 2015, of which 39 were for the secondary industry and 7 for the tertiary industry; 63 were for 2016, including 1 primary industry, 61 secondary industries, and 1 tertiary industry.
