Advanced intelligent manufacturing in Guangdong: from "machine replacement" to "data replacement"

over the past three decades, Guangdong's manufacturing industry, as a major manufacturing province in China, has continued the traditional mode driven by a large number of cheap labor. Now it is being deeply rewritten by industrial robots and industrial big data

in a factory called weishang furniture in Foshan, Guangdong Province, there are few people in the workshop, and industrial robots have replaced most of the posts. In invisible places, industrial big data runs through the whole process of order, design, production and distribution, further bringing this "substitution effect" to the extreme

as a major manufacturing province, Guangdong has been committed to promoting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry in recent years. One of its focuses is to improve the automation level of manufacturing industry through "machine replacement", but this is only the beginning. Industrial big data is the core and soul of intelligent manufacturing

recently, a survey in many manufacturing cities in the Pearl River Delta found that following the "machine replacement", many Guangdong manufacturing enterprises are further exploring the "data replacement", that is, accelerating the application of industrial big data to all links such as sales, R & D, design, manufacturing, supply and decision-making, and exploring the localization path towards intelligent manufacturing

at the same time, with the huge application market demand, coupled with relatively perfect infrastructure and solid industrial foundation, Guangdong has gradually attracted a number of industrial big data enterprises to settle in, and the industrial agglomeration effect is beginning to show, and the "demand based supply" model is gradually working

the first domestic big data Blue Book: China big data development report No.1 released at the 2017 China international big data industry expo, which recently ended in Guiyang, shows that Guangdong's "big data development index" ranks first among all provinces, regions and cities in the country

this "leader" identity reflects Guangdong's multidimensional exploration in the era of big data, especially in the field of industrial big data application and industrial development

from "machine replacement" to "data replacement"

in the past few years, Guangdong, which actively seeks to accelerate the transformation of the manufacturing industry, has launched a vigorous "machine replacement" movement. Now, a number of manufacturing enterprises have begun to further try to apply industrial big data to sales, R & D, design, manufacturing, supply and decision-making, trying to find a more localized "advanced" path of intelligent manufacturing

in the factory of weishang furniture, we can see that different plates are flowing at the same time on the production line, and they are all pasted with an exclusive second dimension after the completion of cutting. Weiner said that it is not clear why plastic is identified as the most likely material dimension to be stopped, so that the big data system can complete the organization of production and the command of machines and workers

according to the linear understanding, the weishang model is roughly: on the one hand, relying on the huge house type database, it can accurately identify and efficiently meet the needs of customers; On the other hand, after the customer places an order and the data is transferred back to the workshop, the big data analysis system will "split" and "combine" all orders, and then carry out "mixed line production"

from this point of view, "machine replacement" is more to lay the foundation for intelligent manufacturing, and the application of industrial big data is the key "catalyst". Unlike the former, which intuitively replaces labor with such force, the latter is more able to help the upgrading of manufacturing industry from the "wisdom" level, replace people from a higher level, and complete some jobs that people cannot complete

"we have achieved 'what customers need, we will design and produce what'." Fu Jianping, founder of weishang furniture, told 21st Century Business Herald that the application of industrial big data not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also helps the enterprise break through the bottleneck between personalized customization and mass production, bringing a new intelligent manufacturing and business model

"machine replacement is industry 3.0, while software and data replacement is 4.0." Yang Juan, general manager of CCID Research Institute Guangzhou Branch of the Ministry of industry and information technology, believes that industrial big data "empowers" industrial transformation and upgrading, including intelligent production, quality improvement and efficiency improvement

in reality, the above-mentioned weishang furniture is not alone. Dongguan, another important manufacturing town in Guangdong, is known as the "world factory". Similar exploration is quietly carried out by some enterprises

Dongguan Jinsheng precision components Co., Ltd. showed us a case: by monitoring and comparing the big data of the spindle current of the machine tool, we can detect the damage of the tool in real time and stop the machine in time. This alone can reduce the comprehensive cost by 29%

"in the past, it used to rely on people to judge tool loss. Once it was found, it was often too late, and even forced to stop the whole production line." Xuhaigang, the solution engineer of the company's intelligent manufacturing business group, told that industrial big data would solve this problem in one fell swoop

in addition, through big data analysis and optimization of the pneumatic inspection process, Jinsheng has greatly improved the efficiency of a processing link on the production line by 15.38%, which is "equivalent to 50 more CNC machines"

one of the logic of Guangdong's manufacturing transformation is to "drive" the intellectualization of products, production, management, services, new formats and new models through industrial big data, so as to reconstruct productivity and competitiveness

the implementation plan for the construction of the Pearl River Delta national big data comprehensive pilot zone issued by Guangdong earlier proposed to guide and promote the application of manufacturing big data in the whole product life cycle and the whole industrial chain, cultivate a new "Data-Driven" manufacturing model, and promote the development of the big data industry

Guangdong big data administration has previously disclosed that Guangdong plans to support the construction of about 30 "data factories" in the pilot zone, and will focus on electronic information, automobile and motorcycle manufacturing hardware, textile, clothing, civil explosive building materials and other industries to promote the formation of a new "Data-Driven" manufacturing model

Li Xiaotao, vice president of Guangdong intelligent robot research institute and director of the big data research and development center of intelligent manufacturing industry, analyzed that industrial upgrading is actually a process of turning to automation, informatization and intelligence. At present, many manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong have begun to explore, which will lay a foundation for intelligent manufacturing in Guangdong in the future, but the process will be relatively long. Transformation enterprises should focus on automation and intelligence

Guangdong's exploration is also in line with the direction guidance at the national level. At the aforementioned digital Expo, Ma Kai, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, stressed that manufacturing is the main body of the real economy, the main battlefield driven by innovation, and the core application field of big data. Deepening the innovative application of big data is of great significance for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing in China

industrial big data enterprises accelerate agglomeration

it is worth noting that in this process, Guangdong's big data industry has also been activated

on the one hand, some local manufacturing enterprises have transformed into providers of industrial big data solutions after completing their own intelligent manufacturing upgrading and accumulating some experience in industrial big data application, that is, "transform themselves first and then transform others"

on the other hand, many industrial big data enterprises and intelligent manufacturing enterprises outside the province have also accelerated their influx into Guangdong in recent years

many analysts told that the huge market generated by the transformation and upgrading of Guangdong's manufacturing industry has become a direct incentive for these enterprises to enter the layout. In particular, in the past few years, Guangdong launched the "machine replacement" movement, which further stimulated the outbreak of demand

from the application speed and scale of industrial robots in Guangdong, we may roughly guess the size of its industrial big data market

according to the data previously disclosed by the Guangdong Provincial Commission of economy and information technology, in 2016, there were 22000 new application robots in Guangdong Province, with a total of more than 60000, accounting for about one fifth of the country. In the future, the province plans to add about 20000 applications every year

at the same time, in addition to the huge demand market, Guangdong's relatively perfect infrastructure and solid industrial foundation have also become an important factor for the rise and influx of a number of industrial big data enterprises

at an investment promotion conference in Foshan on June 8, Alibaba cloud signed a strategic cooperation project with the Nanhai District Government of the city. The focus of the cooperation between the two sides is to jointly promote the upgrading and transformation of enterprises with big data and build a Guangdong smart manufacturing demonstration project

sun Jiong, vice president of Alibaba cloud, said that Alibaba cloud will use cloud computing and big data applications to connect Nanhai industrial clusters, help Nanhai enterprises improve efficiency and management in industrial upgrading and transformation, and help enterprises develop

sun Jiong further said that a large number of consumer goods in Guangdong come from the output of local manufacturing industries, and the first core content of Ali's "new manufacturing" concept is to connect production with the market. Alibaba platform also hopes to change from the traditional B2B mode to C2B and c2m, realize market-oriented production, and help change the traditional low-value manufacturing mode

Guangdong Sigu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., which entered Guangdong layout early, has tasted "sweetness". This enterprise is mainly engaged in the R & D and production of intelligent manufacturing perception products, equipment and solutions, which is also the core component of data collection in industrial big data

Wang Yuhui, general manager of the enterprise, told that the revenue of the enterprise increased explosively to about 74 million yuan in 2016, several times that of the previous year, and is expected to double in 2017

on the other hand, there are also many cases of local manufacturing enterprises transforming into providers of industrial big data solutions

the above Jinsheng precision is a representative. In March this year, Jinsheng precision announced that the company obtained an order for intelligent manufacturing service business for the first time, providing intelligent manufacturing information transformation services for Hunan Oil Pump Co., Ltd., with an amount of 9.6 million yuan

Chen Hua, special assistant to the general manager of Jin Sheng precision, told that at present, in addition to the traditional business sector, the next strategic focus of the enterprise is to develop intelligent manufacturing related businesses, including industrial big data, and transform intelligent manufacturing system solution service providers

this is also the direction that Guangdong hopes to guide in policy

the 2016 action plan of Guangdong Province for promoting the development of big data (year) clearly stipulates that by 2020, the big data industry will become an important economic growth pole, and the scale of big data and related industries will reach 600billion yuan

the above plan proposes to improve the big data industry chain, form a batch of emerging information technologies, products, systems and services integrating big data, implement and develop a number of major projects in the big data industry chain, further optimize the layout of the big data industry, and form a relatively perfect big data industry chain

in addition, the implementation plan for the construction of the national big data comprehensive pilot zone in the Pearl River Delta also proposes to introduce and cultivate a number of big data backbone enterprises and leading enterprises with core competitiveness, introduce and cultivate about 6 big data leading enterprises and 150 big data service, product manufacturing and application backbone enterprises by the end of 2020
