The annual meeting of Asian Manufacturing Forum held in Weifang, Shandong Province, China, has attracted wide attention from people at home and abroad. Experts and entrepreneurs from 11 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, attended the meeting to discuss the future development trend of manufacturing industry and German industry Four The impact of the strategy on the transformation and upgrading of China's traditional industries was discussed in depth. Most experts at the meeting believe that intelligent manufacturing is the inevitable trend of manufacturing industry development. In the future, intelligent, personalized and customized manufacturing will become the new normal of industry.

 

Li Jie, a distinguished professor at the University of Cincinnati, said that the so-called industry Four After the first three industrial revolutions marked by mechanization, electrification and informatization, human society is embracing the fourth industrial revolution of integration of network and manufacturing industry.

 

Thomas Paul Hansen, director of the production automation research institute of Fraunhofer Association in Germany, believes that intelligent factory is the only way in the future. Smart factories are industries, he said Four Focus. Industry Four It involves the integration of information physical system, manufacturing and logistics technology, as well as the application of Internet of things, big data and service network in the industrial production process. Similar to people communicating in social networks, people, machines and resources communicate with each other in smart factories. "We will travel intelligently in the future, with intelligent logistics, intelligent buildings and intelligent power grid.".

 

Luo Jun said at the forum that the manufacturing industry in the future will be built on an interactive platform based on the Internet and information technology, scientifically integrate resource factors and production factors, and make the manufacturing and logistics distribution more intelligent, automated and networked. Whether it is the "re industrialization" proposed by the United States or the industry proposed by Germany Four , as well as the integration of informatization and industrialization proposed by China, the most fundamental thing is to establish an information platform based on the Internet to promote intelligent manufacturing. In this regard, these countries can be called "the same journey".

 

According to Luo Jun, German Industry Four The core of the strategy is still based on the Internet technology, which can be used for reference for the extension and expansion of the third industrial revolution and the "China industry 2025 strategy" that China is making.

 

Talking about the development trend of China's manufacturing industry, Luo Jun told reporters that the manufacturing industry in Europe and the United States has reached the industrial commanding point, and the current development shows some signs of stagnation, which provides opportunities and references for the development of China's manufacturing industry. The development direction of China's manufacturing industry is very clear, "there is power to move forward", and it can also "run desperately".

 

Paul Hansen said that by 2015, China's investment in technology research and development will reach 1.2 billion euros (about 1.5 billion US dollars), occupying a leading position in the world. In July this year, the Ministry of industry and information technology of China established the China Internet and industry integration innovation alliance, aiming to promote the centralized application of digital and information technology in the production process.

 

Many interviewees believe that the research and application of industrial big data in China has just started. With the development of big data, Internet of things and cloud computing technology, the value of data is increasing rapidly, and the technological innovation and industrial development trend with industrial big data as the main line is highlighting. By seizing the opportunity of intelligent era, China's manufacturing industry is likely to take a higher level in the global industrial value chain.
