China's industry 4.0 or will go more difficult

What is Industrial 4.0? If you buy a house, the interior structure of the House will be passed on to your computer, you can see every corner of the house without going to the house. Then, you can according to their own preferences, through the computer design ideal way of decoration, and with the likes of furniture. You just need to point fingers, the 3D print robot in charge of the decoration will enter your room and begin to make a drastic renovation. When you enter your new house, you will find that everything is what you think it is--this is the 4.0 revolution of industry that Germany has put forward.

At the Hannover Industrial Fair in April 2013, the German government has formally put forward the "Industrial 4.0" strategy, the main content is from centralized control to decentralized enhanced control of the basic mode of transformation, the core value is intelligent manufacturing, the goal is to establish a highly flexible personalized and digital products and services production model. In this model, traditional industry boundaries will disappear, and new areas of activity and forms of cooperation will be created. The process of creating new value is changing and the division of labor in the industry chain will be restructured.

Hu, researcher of Shijiazhuang Science Industry Technology Research Institute, said that industrial 4.0 would be the future trend and would eventually replace the traditional industrial business model. Hu told "China News" Reporter: "Industrial 4.0 technology using the Internet and the integration of large data technology, the industry will need to integrate the industry, thereby reducing labor and other costs, in the original budget will not change the situation can produce more products." ”

At home, Industry 4.0 is also methodically testing the water. For example, the business of Home textiles, the network to try to customize the production mode to open the market. Industry insiders believe that in this model of the traditional industrial model will be gradually replaced, customization will be a sweep before the problem of serious inventory, and the entire industrial chain will be more closely linked.

Unlike the industrial 3.0 robot Revolution, Industry 4.0 more is in the original technology for more sophisticated division and integration, Industrial 4.0 more attention to detail, and can achieve small batch of many batches of personal customization production. Hu said that industry 4.0 will lead to a new round of technological revolution, and in this revolution, the original operating sales model will be squeezed again, such as online shopping squeeze traditional retail industry.

Shanghai Ming Carpenter Intelligent System Co., Ltd. in the 16th session of China International Industrial Exposition on the first set of Industrial 4.0 pipeline, and has been actually used in production. At the end of 2014, the first batch of personal customized Land Rover Aurora will be on the line in Changshu, Jiangsu province.

Shanghai Ming Carpenter Intelligent System Co., Ltd. founder Chen said: "Taobao, the cat is connected only online shop sellers and consumers, it is only the role of network sales channels." In the Industrial 4.0 era, electronic shopping malls such as Taobao may be dead when consumers can tailor their products directly to smart factories and get cheaper prices. ”

Lower cost prices, higher commodity quality, wider industry cooperation, more "lazy" production methods, industrial 4.0 seem to portray a near-perfect future.

However, Hu said that although China has launched the 4.0 version of the industrial wheels, but we are doomed to encounter more hardships on this road.

The most important thing is how to solve the surplus labor force. Germany put forward the concept of Industrial 4.0 is out of labor shortage, and our labor force obviously does not exist this problem. When the industry 4.0来, more production will be replaced by robots in the "Smart Factory", and industrial-intensive transformation into technology-intensive, which is bound to cause further labor surplus.

Technology and quality is one of the major problems to be solved, Germany's industrial standards are quite perfect, and basically have their own technology independent intellectual property rights. And China in the industrial standard is still in the situation of hegemony, the United States, Germany and Japan, basically contribute to our production of industrial standards we have introduced, but did not integrate these standards into their own things. And standards are often refined through continuous practice, which makes us technically at a dilemma in the 4.0来 of industry. You can choose to continue to introduce other people's things, or pay high tuition fees.

But the quality problem needs to pay enough attention in our country's industrial production, because our country overall economic level and abroad still have the big disparity, some enterprises in buys the product often pays more attention to the price but neglects the quality, this has left the great hidden danger to the industrial 4.0 cooperation. In a large production system, problems in any one link can have a significant impact on the entire production system.

Although on the road of Industry 4.0, we must still have many things to learn, but as the future development trend, China's industrial 4.0 is also imperative. We must lay down the mentality, should not be too impatient, open-minded to learn, face up to their own possible problems. Hu told reporters that when China studied robots, many foreign insiders thought China could not make robots that could move. And in the Industrial 4.0 era, we will give them more surprises.
