There is no doubt that manufacturing is a necessary indicator to measure a country's comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological strength, and plays an engine role in the economic growth of various industrial countries. In order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the manufacturing industry, countries are conducting diversified explorations and attempts from the perspectives of policy formulation, scientific and technological research and development, talent introduction, and application innovation.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s manufacturing industry has been fully integrated into the value chain and plays a vital role in the division of labor system. Not only are domestic companies actively committed to building national brands, but many foreign companies are also accelerating their deployment in the Chinese market, investing heavily in building factories, and striving to reduce product manufacturing costs and increase their own profits.
Unlike before, the development environment of the manufacturing industry has undergone tremendous changes. Nowadays, the method of manufacturing products based solely on manpower can no longer meet actual needs. Human-machine integration has become a prominent feature of the manufacturing industry. In the process of transforming and upgrading the manufacturing industry towards intelligence, digitization, automation, and efficiency, it is imperative to comprehensively adopt cutting-edge technologies and intelligent equipment such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, robots, drones, and unmanned vehicles. .
Digital manufacturing sounds amazing. As the name suggests, digital manufacturing is a new manufacturing method based on the digitization of information and knowledge, using modern information networks as the main carrier, and using digital, intelligent, and networked technologies to improve product design, manufacturing, and marketing efficiency. With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology, digital manufacturing is no longer out of reach, but has found a reliable basis for transforming ideal concepts into reality. As an active factor in realizing digital manufacturing, data is being recognized for its application value. Mining the potential value of various manufacturing data has also become an important research topic for many manufacturing pioneers.
Some researchers regard data as the "precious oil" of the new era, which is undoubtedly appropriate. Whether it is product design, product production, product storage, product transportation, product sales, or product supervision, a variety of data will be involved. Being able to collect, summarize, integrate and share relevant data in a timely manner has many benefits for improving product manufacturing efficiency and optimizing product production processes. The emergence and application of big data technology also embodies the value of multiple types of data.
Since big data technology can collect, count, process and analyze massive data information, it can provide important reference for people’s information feedback, business activities, public decision-making, etc., and it has been widely used. In various fields such as medical care, management, education, and entertainment. In the manufacturing field, the use of various data resources to complete the digital process of product manufacturing, factory management, etc. is providing strong support for the implementation of digital manufacturing from point to surface.
In the final analysis, on the one hand, digital manufacturing can accelerate the improvement of process technology in traditional industries such as petrochemicals, steel, and textiles, enrich product functions, increase product added value, and promote the transformation of mid- to low-end products into mid-to-high-end products. Promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; on the other hand, digital manufacturing can also significantly accelerate the pace of technological innovation in strategic emerging industries such as new materials, new energy, equipment, aerospace, and smart cars, shorten the industrialization cycle of scientific and technological achievements, and stimulate the development of the cantaloupe industry vitality.
For the rapidly changing world economy, maintaining greater elasticity and flexible manufacturing system can better withstand various challenges faced by the manufacturing industry in the development process. One of the major impacts of digital manufacturing on the manufacturing industry is to quickly respond to market demand and adjust production lines.
Specifically, multiple digital assembly workstations can not only expand and produce in series, but also plan in parallel and independently. As an enabler of smart factories, digital manufacturing will further optimize production arrangements, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of enterprises, improving equipment utilization, shortening product production cycles, and allowing users from all over the world to use the products they need as soon as possible.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, major cities in my country will accelerate the popularization and application of 5G, intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet, industrial robots, etc., and realize remote online office and product personalization. Efficient collaboration in customized customization, networked collaborative production, equipment remote management and operation, and other businesses. This will allow more companies to promptly transform their management and production methods while reducing costs, improving quality and efficiency, and truly integrating intelligence and digitalization into various industry segments.
