Intelligence is an important feature and necessary way for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, which can drive the technological upgrading, efficiency transformation and value reengineering of the manufacturing industry, improve the supply level and capacity of the manufacturing industry, and create more emerging value for the market.
It is necessary to optimize the intelligent development ecology, promote the construction of intelligent benchmarking for leading enterprises, support the intelligent transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises, establish and improve the intelligent policy service, comprehensive guarantee and level evaluation system, and form a benign ecology of intelligent development.
Intelligent allocation of production factors brings large quantities and high-quality products, intelligent insight into consumer needs to produce more marketable goods, and adds intelligent factors to products to stimulate consumer interest ......Intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in improving supply support and accelerating the release of market potential.
We have accelerated the process of digital transformation, promoted the expansion and improvement of the scale and level of smart factory construction, and have built nearly 10,000 digital workshops and smart factories. We have created new scenarios, new solutions and new models for intelligent manufacturing, and achieved remarkable results in improving the quality and efficiency of the industry. Zhao Zhiguo, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.
Create more new value.
Intelligence is an important feature and necessary way for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, which can drive the technological upgrading, efficiency transformation and value reengineering of the manufacturing industry, improve the supply level and capacity of the manufacturing industry, and create more emerging value for the market. Gao Yingmai, director of the Digital Economy Strategy Research Office of the Institute of Informatization and Software Industry of CCID Think Tank, said.
Zhao Gang, president of Saizhi Industry Research Institute, believes that the intelligent configuration of various production factors to realize robot processing, flexible scheduling, intelligent equipment monitoring, intelligent warehousing and logistics, etc., will help improve production efficiency.
The intelligent production model can comprehensively reconstruct the traditional manufacturing system, and has outstanding advantages in demand-based production, whole-process coordination, and machine maintenance, which can make manufacturing more "smart", thereby accelerating the transformation of the efficiency of the real economy.
For example, relying on the reverse customization model, starting from the market and user needs, Beijing Tokyo Manufacturing helps factories establish new product research and development concepts, go deep into upstream production links, and continue to empower factories in original design. At the same time, we will give full play to the innovative advantages of first-chain integration and direct connection to factories to improve the "quality-price ratio" experience of products. During the "Double 11" period in 2023, many products launched in cooperation with this model have sold well.
Intelligent products and services will better meet the dynamic changes in the market and the diversified and refined needs of consumers. For example, new products such as smart speakers, smart homes, and intelligent networked cars are constantly emerging, making people's lives more convenient, and also triggering new consumption methods, including car entertainment, smart restaurants, and unmanned supermarkets, to create more new value. Gao Yingmai said.
Intelligent products can not only improve consumers' sense of intimacy, experience and satisfaction, but also establish real-time connections with customers for enterprises, and realize product upgrades and service optimization. For example, Zhao Gang said that the new generation of intelligent networked electric vehicles, because of their new functions such as automatic driving, voice intelligent control, and real-time networking, are deeply loved by consumers and drive a new round of car replacement boom. At the same time, automobile manufacturers can also dynamically obtain data on changes in consumer demand and improve supply support in a timely manner as needed.
Intelligent manufacturing is the main direction.
The high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing industry is regarded as an effective means to expand high-quality supply. Among them, "the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry is a systematic project, involving the full-link intelligent transformation of various industries, which is reflected in intelligent design, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent equipment monitoring, intelligent warehousing, intelligent logistics chain, intelligent marketing, intelligent customer service and intelligent products. Gao Yingmai said.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has carried out pilot demonstration work on intelligent manufacturing for many years, focusing on consumer goods, equipment manufacturing, electronic information, automobiles, petrochemical steel and other fields, focusing on the overall transformation of smart factories and the construction of intelligent scenarios in single or multiple manufacturing links, and has achieved outstanding results.
Lenovo Group's Hefei Industrial Base is the world's largest R&D and manufacturing base for intelligent computing equipment, and it is also a "lighthouse factory" that stands at the highest level of the world's manufacturing industry. Amu, vice president of Lenovo Group, said that with the support of the new IT architecture, taking production scheduling as an example, a huge and complex process that used to take 6 hours has been shortened to less than 2 minutes for a single calculation, and it only takes 5 minutes for production scheduling to be completed.
As of December 2023, there are 153 "lighthouse factories" in the world, of which 62 are in China, accounting for nearly half of the share. "The intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing industry is at the leading level in the world. Zhao Gang believes that the "lighthouse factory" represents the top level of the intelligent transformation of the global manufacturing industry, and China is the country with the most "lighthouse factories" in the world. These "lighthouse factories" are widely distributed in consumer goods, automobiles, household appliances, steel products and other fields, reflecting the outstanding advantages of the scale and quality of China's smart factory construction.
At present, nearly 10,000 digital workshops and smart factories have been built in various places. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, more than 2,500 of them have reached the level of intelligent manufacturing capability maturity level 2 or above, that is, the digital networking of core business links has been realized; 209 factories have explored intelligent upgrades, and actively adopted intelligent product design systems, intelligent production lines, intelligent equipment monitoring, intelligent three-dimensional warehouses, intelligent logistics vehicles and other systems to continuously improve production efficiency.
In the core business link of the leading industry in intelligent transformation, intelligence has reached a high level. China's home appliances, electronics, automobiles, steel, food and other industries have a high level of intelligent transformation. According to statistics, the penetration rate of digital equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry has reached 72%; The digital R&D and design rate of the equipment manufacturing industry has reached 68%. Zhao Gang said.
Seize new opportunities in artificial intelligence.
The development of artificial intelligence represented by large models is characterized by rapid technological innovation, strong application penetration, and fierce international competition, which is accelerating the deep integration with the manufacturing industry, profoundly changing the production mode and economic form of the manufacturing industry, and showing a strong enabling effect.
Tao Qing, director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote the intelligent upgrading of key industries and accelerate the intelligence of the whole process of manufacturing. Deepen the application of artificial intelligence technology in the integration of the whole process of the manufacturing industry, and greatly improve the intelligent level of R&D, pilot test, production, service, management and other links. Promote the pilot demonstration of artificial intelligence, expand characteristic application scenarios, accelerate the "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", form real productivity, and improve the quality and efficiency of manufacturing development. At the same time, promote the development of intelligent products and equipment. Give full play to the characteristics of strong cognition, strong interaction, and strong generation of large models, promote the upgrading and iteration of high-end equipment, key software, and intelligent terminals, and improve the intelligent level of key products and equipment.
China's manufacturing industry is large and wide, and there are obvious differences in technical level, process flow, implementation ability, etc., resulting in unbalanced development of intelligence and inconsistent process. The intelligent development model, path, and focus of various industries also have their own emphasis, which cannot be achieved overnight, nor can they be simply imitated and copied.
There is still a lot of room for improvement in the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. The survey shows that there are far from enough manufacturing enterprises in China to achieve single-point intelligence or deep intelligence, and the intelligent platform with industrial cluster service capabilities is obviously insufficient. The intelligent transformation of many manufacturing enterprises is limited to workshops, factories and enterprises, and it is urgent to establish and improve the industrial Internet intelligent platform to realize the industrial chain collaboration of R&D, design, production, logistics, channel providers and customers. In addition, the investment in intelligent transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises is small, the degree of application is low, and the transformation results are not outstanding.
Zhao Gang believes that the revolution of general artificial intelligence technology such as large models will comprehensively improve the maturity of intelligent manufacturing capabilities. New technologies such as 5G+ remote control, industrial digital twins**, intelligent robots, and digital engineers will be widely used in smart factories to promote the production efficiency of the manufacturing industry. The industrial Internet platform will fully integrate the full-link data element resources, promote the intelligent collaboration of the innovation chain, the industrial chain, and the first chain, and continuously promote the optimization of the supply-side and demand-side structures. The continuous deepening of information technology application innovation such as domestic chips and high-end industrial software will break through the "bottleneck" problem of intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
Breakthroughs should be made in setting standards, strengthening services, and building an ecosystem. Gao Yingmai said that it is necessary to play the supporting and leading role of standards, and strengthen the development, promotion and application of basic common standards and standards for key application scenarios. Improve the service capabilities of intelligent solutions, cultivate and develop solutions such as architecture design, system integration, product customization, scenario construction, operation and maintenance for intelligent needs, and effectively solve the problems of "how to be intelligent" and "how to be intelligent" of user enterprises. It is necessary to optimize the intelligent development ecology, promote the construction of intelligent benchmarking for leading enterprises, support the intelligent transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises, establish and improve the intelligent policy service, comprehensive guarantee and level evaluation system, and form a benign ecology of intelligent development.
