The 40 upstream parts of the hottest industry stil

Industry 4.0: upstream parts still rely on Japan and other countries

Guide: entering hall 7h of the National Convention and Exhibition Center in early November is like being in a sci-fi movie scene of tomorrow's world. In the huge venue, China's Xinsong and foreign robot and industrial automation equipment production giants such as abb, KUKA and Nachi gathered, and the latest products displayed will meet the needs of future industry 4.0 with their respective scientific and technological advantages

the dynamic dance music is mixed with bursts of metal sound of manipulator swing. Entering hall 7h of the National Convention and Exhibition Center in early November is like being in a sci-fi film scene of tomorrow's world. In the huge venue, China's Xinsong and foreign robot and industrial automation equipment production giants such as abb, KUKA and Nachi gathered, and the latest products displayed will meet the needs of future industry 4.0 with their respective scientific and technological advantages

although Xinsong is the leader in China, we are surrounded by foreign companies. Han Songlin said with emotion that at the age of 27, he had just graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and entered China Science and technology Xinsong for only half a year

the Xuzhou guy who studied master's degree in automation insisted on working in Shanghai Xinsong. In terms of income level, many Internet companies must be higher now, but I pay more attention to the trend of industry 4.0. Han Songlin told China business

from hardware to solution

as Han Songlin said, Zhongke Xinsong, located in the relative center of hall 7h, is surrounded by booths of international giants such as abb in Switzerland, KUKA in Germany, and Nazhi in Japan. Standing at their respective booths, you can see each other's intelligent machinery and robots. Standing beside Han Songlin is a Xinsong double arm cooperative robot taller than him. It is white, and a black small UAV is being assembled at this time, Especially eye-catching, dexterous manipulator can install the propeller of the UAV, and the whole process flows smoothly

can you tell me what sensor you use? Lu Jun, general manager of Suzhou Road Vehicle Intelligent Electronics Co., Ltd., repeatedly inquired about Han Songlin and other staff of Zhongke Xinsong. As a domestic businessman, Lu Jun came to the Expo to sweep goods, and visited all the booths and booths of Chinese and foreign exhibitors

as a sensor myself, I am very optimistic about the future of industry 4.0. Intelligent equipment, including robots, is a large category. Lu Jun told first finance and economics that Lu Jun bluntly said that there is still a gap between China and developed countries, especially Japan's robots. Sensors are very good. To be honest, Japan's motion distance and angle are accurate, and our domestic original research and development is poor. Some domestic manufacturers buy parts and components from Japanese and other foreign counterparts, and the original research and development is relatively few

in addition, in the view of the road army, there are few types of intelligent equipment in China. The reason for the lack is that in addition to the design, the algorithm can not keep up

in addition to the hardware field that many domestic and foreign suppliers intend to occupy, customized solutions are also one of the pain points in China

according to Zhang Zhen, general manager of wanteng technology, many industrial enterprises have the most advanced software, but no one can operate it; Or it can only operate and cannot play a greater role. In the final analysis, it ignores the use of human in intelligent manufacturing as the test parameters of automotive brake linings. In his view, there is a huge market space for personalized customized solution providers in the future

Xie Dingquan, deputy director of Panasonic business department, also told first finance that compared with industrial 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing cases at home and abroad, there is a clear outline that in the past, China invested more in equipment, and now it is more to improve the overall efficiency through internal solutions

according to duyuhe, Secretary General of China industry 4.0 club, personalized service providers are the pioneers of blue ocean market development in the future. When a large number of domestic factories carry out intelligent transformation, foreign equipment suppliers are more upgraded to wireless control equipment on the basis of wired numerical control equipment. The development of wireless device interface standards has undergone qualitative changes from wired control to wireless control, from structure to mode, and these changes are based on customized solutions of personalized service providers. Differentiated competition is likely to make the blue ocean reappear

stones from other mountains

compared with other companies, the activity of KUKA booth in Germany is much larger. Rock star kr3 agilus robot brings drum performance, and visitors can also fight gophers madly with it. In the bustling background, KUKA has brought its robotteam dual robot welding workstation, which adapts to the intelligent trend of industry 4.0. Two Kr Cybertech robots kr8 r1420 and kr10 r1420 are used to show the compact and efficient welding operation, while the new products are loaded and unloaded on machine tools. The State Post Office has drafted a green development plan for express delivery, and the application display shows its high integration and fine driving characteristics

as the initiator and advocate of industry 4.0, Germany is in a leading position in manufacturing equipment, industrial automation, industrial software, etc. through the coordination of the whole industrial system (research institutions, associations, universities, etc.), it strengthens the advantages of hard manufacturing and expands the ability of soft services

these will enable Germany and even the whole Europe to obtain an additional output value of 200-300 billion euros, and the radical changes brought about by industry 4.0 will also be revealed in the future

Bosch Liyi strictly controls the molding temperature not to exceed 350 degrees. Liuhuowei, managing director of shile China, told China business that many technologies in Germany have been very mature, reaching industry 3.0, and many enterprises in China are still in the stage of 2.0. In the next 10 years, the biggest challenge facing China's manufacturing industry is how to achieve 3.0 and 4.0 together, and the goal is very clear

he said that for Industry 4.0, German companies including Dr Rexroth pay particular attention to the following four points: new line investment, old line transformation, Internet services, and industry 4.0 training

take the transformation of old lines as an example. Although the transformation of some factories in Germany is not very dynamic, the benefits and purposes are amazing. He said that after the transformation of the lol factory in Germany, the production efficiency increased by 6%, and its adaptability to a variety also increased by 10 times. It is expected to recover the cost in 1-3 years. If you invest in a brand-new production line, you can indeed meet various production requirements and increase the variety, but the return period of investment will be extended, some of which will take more than 10 years. Through the transformation of the old factory, the return period has been greatly reduced

in addition, many machines need maintenance. Proper equipment maintenance and remote programming can reduce production costs and increase the availability of facilities

Liu Huowei also said: German companies are also good at one thing: industry 4.0 training. We not only provide training equipment, but also use these equipment to train our employees. We have 250 factories around the world, and rich industrial manufacturing experience can be shared. Some system software and hardware are also produced by the enterprise itself, without relying on other suppliers. In short, the training center is a mini factory, covering the complete production value stream

in contrast to Germany, the US approach is to start with soft services and use its comprehensive advantages in basic science, industry, information technology, interconnection and other fields to build a global ecosystem organization and drive the overall improvement of industrial competitiveness in the whole process and all links

the docking and coordination of industrial interconnection between the United States and Germany have begun. No matter what term virtue uses, it takes industrial interconnection as the technical basis for transforming industry and establishing new competitive advantages, pays attention to the combination of top-level design and dominant enterprise leadership, highlights the core role of data in the whole architecture, and speeds up the standardization process in related fields. Since the second half of last year, the two sides have launched the docking and coordination of their respective systems, achieved comprehensive docking in functional areas, and initially formed a cooperative and collaborative situation to jointly lead the development direction of global industrial interconnection

not only from a strategic macro perspective, the concept of operating companies in these countries is also very different. According to Colin angle, co-founder and CEO of iRobot, the manufacturer of sweeping robots with the largest market share in the world, the annual sales volume of iRobot can reach US $650million, and the company spends no less than US $70million on research and development every year, accounting for nearly one tenth. In his view, only by continuously investing in research and development can any company maintain long-term healthy growth

local brands are developing rapidly

and German industry 4.0 emphasize that there are differences in technology and mode. China also launched made in China 2025 a year ago, and has made an overall plan for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry from the aspects of industry and policy. However, both of them are similar to achieve intelligent manufacturing

Wang Haibin, executive vice president of Siemens China and general manager of Digital Factory Group, said in an interview with China business in early 2018 that intelligent manufacturing is actually the upgrading of machinery and equipment from electrification to automation. The landmark technology is that industrial control computers such as PLC can be installed on machines, and people can write various logic control programs and automatic analysis programs

Atlas Copco, an industrial group that focuses on the manufacturing of compressors, road equipment, generators and other equipment, has achieved automation in the use and management of tools on some production lines. Atlas Copco (Nanjing) construction and Mining Co., Ltd. has a fully automatic mobile production line, i-flow, which not only makes the production line flow, but also can be compatible with the assembly of seven products, saving 27% of the assembly space and improving about 42% of the production capacity

today, we look at these processes. In fact, some of them have been automated, but the problem is that there are islands between these different processes. They have not really connected with each other, and the overall combat capability has not been achieved. Thousands of enterprises form an industrial society and an industrial chain, including upstream, middle and downstream, which need to be connected with each other, which is also an opportunity for Industry 4.0. Wang Haibin said

it is against this background that the robot industry, as the Pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown, has a great impact on the process of Intelligent Manufacturing in China. At present, the development of global robots is at a turning point of reshuffle, and Chinese robot enterprises have the opportunity to catch up with foreign enterprises. Qu Daokui, President of Xinsong robot automation company, has repeatedly stressed

according to the five-year development plan of China's robot industry, by 2020, the annual output of China's independent brand industrial robots will reach 100000 units, and the total sales scale will reach 150billion yuan. Under such a development plan, the domestic robot industry has been in a stage of rapid development in the past five years, especially in the new market of collaborative robots, and local brands have risen rapidly

the rapid rise of China's own brand robots can be seen from the exhibition of this ICIF. The first dual arm cooperative robot independently developed by Xinsong was launched at the Industrial Expo. The robot is equipped with flexible multi joint technology and movable binocular vision system, which can provide more free and open operation solutions for industrial manufacturing with more integrated and flexible performance

in addition, in front of the evert intelligent equipment booth, orange robots waved their arms dexterously; Esther's robot paints leisurely; Xinshida's palletizing robot can easily suck up cartons with two fixed stations and stack them intelligently. These local brands want to be more flexible, more flexible, safer and easier to use
