With the acceleration of global digitalization, all industries are actively responding to new challenges. As a key part of the industrial manufacturing industry, the development trend of industrial control is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Especially driven by emerging technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things, and edge computing, China's industrial control will show a broader prospect.
First of all, what we see is that the upgrade of the industrial control system has entered the stage of networking, intelligence and openness from the closed peach blossom source in the past, forming a revolutionary way to bridge the various industrial chains, so that we can achieve modern standards through large-scale automation capacity. This progress is not only in line with the intrinsic requirements of the new industrial revolution, but also a sharp driver of its development.
Secondly, there is the significant impact of 5G on industrial control. The high stability and ultra-high bandwidth of 5G technology make industrial control have a very stable and efficient communication environment, and the data transmission is very fast at a speed of 100 meters per second. This undoubtedly adds a strong guarantee to the normal operation of the industrial control system.
As we often say, "under one person, above 10,000 people", industrial control systems have received unprecedented attention in the 5G environment, and many companies have begun to focus on how to make better use of this opportunity to make themselves gain greater competitive advantages in the market.
Then, we need to think deeply about why 5G has caused so much buzz. The reason for this is that 5G not only has tremendous value in its own right, but can also generate additional benefits by supporting other new technologies.
For example, the combination of 5G and edge computing can realize cloud training and edge inference, and at the same time, combined with big data, artificial intelligence and other tools, intelligent planning of a large amount of historical data, so as to optimize control parameters and stimulate the intelligent potential of the entire system.
This also makes the current ISA-95 architecture shift to a three-layer flat structure, and provides a comprehensive technical solution for the upgrade of the control system, helping the rapid rise of the distributed open automation control system.
For those PLC controllers (programmable logic controllers), which are regarded as representatives of the traditional ISA-95 architecture, the combination with 5G technology has a higher presence and a certain sense of importance. This combination makes the PLC more than just a traditional industrial control device, but smarter, more reliable and safer.
In general, 5G technology has become an important direction for China's future industrial modernization development, and its impact is even more than people imagine. It gives us an opportunity to conduct in-depth research on industrial automation, debugging and application efficiency, as well as to improve manufacturing efficiency and precision, and makes us see that in the near future, digital and intelligent transformation will bring qualitative changes to China's industrial industry.
At present, many manufacturers have taken the lead in the exploration and practice of 5G + PLC, and have carried out 5G network deployment and production line transformation, with remarkable effects on quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency increase.
At present, people in the relay industry are very concerned about the links where relays are likely to exert their maximum potential.
At present, relays are mainly used in logic control scenarios. Logic control is aimed at switching signals suitable for industrial scenarios, including input and output signals, and is defined as Boolean variable (BOOL) in the PLC data type. Switching signals mainly**: buttons, switches, sensors, indicators, buzzers, cylinders, valves, contactors, relays, etc.
We won't go into more technical explanations here, but we can give an example to understand.
In smart homes, relays can be used to control the switches of electrical appliances, while 5G+PLC can be used to realize data transmission and communication within the home. In the field of industrial automation, relays can be used to control the switches of machines, while 5G+PLC can be used to realize data transmission and communication between machines, which can achieve more efficient and intelligent control and management.
In specific operation, 5G + PLC technology builds a reliable data transmission channel by arranging 5G industrial routers on the edge side of the PLC. By softwareizing the PLC, it can adapt to different scenarios and needs, improve the flexibility and scalability of industrial equipment, and realize the functions of automatic control and data acquisition.
The deployment of this convergence technology is intended to help industrial manufacturing with digital management. In fact, as an industry involving many upstream and downstream industries, our relay industry also needs digital transformation. However, for most relays, most of the energy is spent on upgrading the production line, and it is difficult to promote digital transformation. But there's a better way.
When relay enterprises implement refined management, they need to promote synchronously from three aspects: management, business and market in order to achieve ideal results. However, for an enterprise, it is not easy to optimize the management of a single port, not to mention that relay enterprises have a complex organizational structure and upstream and downstream relationships, involving sample confirmation, order follow-up, logistics tracking, reconciliation and settlement and other links are even more difficult.
In order to solve this problem, Relay Information Network has launched the "Relay e-Purchase", with the help of information services, selection services, transaction services and cloud exhibition services, etc., to help enterprises quickly build a professional marketing interaction platform, and at the same time integrate the internal management system of the enterprise to achieve data integration and interoperability.
In terms of obtaining sales leads, which enterprises are most concerned about, "relay e-purchase" introduces the private domain of ** businessmen to realize the automatic distribution of leads to channels and salesmen to follow up, complete the whole process of business interaction with upstream ** merchants and procurement customers online, and push orders and logistics information in real time. In addition, it also provides multi-dimensional data statistics and analysis for different roles to improve the efficiency of enterprise procurement and sales operation management, improve operational efficiency, and help the digital transformation of relay enterprises.
Whether it is multi-channel and distribution on the management side, sales lead acquisition, automatic distribution business, rapid output of materials and product technical specifications, customer management and follow-up tracking, data statistics and analysis;It is also the task-based promotion of customer conversion on the business side, one-click promotion of standard material content, one-stop business interaction, flexible reconciliation and automatic order reminder, and real-time statistical analysis of business dataOr the client's mobile phone to take photos and place orders quickly, real-time push reminders of business interaction information, and one-click sharing to help brand promotion, all of which can achieve one-stop solutions, reduce the circulation of intermediate links, and improve management efficiency.
Through this system, relay companies can better track the orders of salesmen, and can quickly understand the demand and market response according to the real feedback of downstream users, adjust the production plan according to this situation, optimize the cost structure, and complete the digital transformation.
