China's Manufacturing Industry: Machine Substitution

In the exploration and practice of a hundred years of industrial civilization, mankind ushered in a new era of the information age. Looking back on the history of manufacturing, from the invention of the steam engine by Watt to the Ford T-car and the first automotive assembly line, the rapid development of the manufacturing industry has met the growing needs of mankind and provided material for the substantial improvement of human life. basis. At the same time, it should also be noted that the process of industrialization so far has mainly been the construction of a large amount of pollution from the production and consumption processes on the basis of consuming a large amount of non-renewable resources, which has sacrificed the living environment of human beings, resulting in the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry. The issue has become the focus of current attention. Among them, the manufacturing industry is still the pillar and leading industry of the national economy. How to meet the requirements of the scientific concept of development so that the development of the manufacturing industry gradually eliminates existing problems and achieves sustainable development is an urgent task before us. Sharp task.

"Machine Substitution" can enhance the development momentum of the smart equipment industry. Intelligent manufacturing stems from the research of artificial intelligence. It is generally believed that intelligence is the sum of knowledge and intelligence. The former is the basis of intelligence. The latter is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge solutions. Since the 1980s, the research of artificial intelligence has evolved from the discussion of the general thinking law to the knowledge-centered research. Various kinds of different functions and different types of expert systems have come into being. There has been a "knowledge project." New concept and began to be used in manufacturing systems.

In recent years, when machine substitutions are invested in manufacturing, it is necessary not only to have flexibility, but also to show intelligence, otherwise it is difficult to handle a large amount of complex information workload. Second, the ever-changing market demands and the complex environment of fierce competition also require that the machine substitutions show higher flexibility, agility and intelligence. Therefore, machine substitutions are receiving increasing attention. This will be included in the national development plan and will be vigorously promoted.

It is crucial to develop intelligent automation through the development and application of machine substitutions. The specific research projects selected are intelligent computers, human-machine interfaces, mechanical sensors, robot control, new devices, and system integration under dynamic environments. For example, as the automation automation solution for the first brand of manufacturing automation and system integrator, it has been promoted, applied and demonstrated in domestic manufacturing industry, and achieved the goal of “reducing staff, increasing efficiency, improving quality, and ensuring safety”, and further optimizing the population. Structure, improve labor productivity and contribution rate of technology, cultivate new economic growth points, and speed up industrial transformation and upgrading. It is not only the development of manufacturing technology, especially the development of manufacturing information technology, but also the result of the deep development of automation and integration technology.

Substitution of machines from the "manufacturing" to "intelligent" transformation and upgrading. The intelligent manufacturing system is not only the environment where smart and technical integration is applied, but also the carrier of intelligent manufacturing mode. Compared with traditional manufacturing, the intelligent manufacturing system has the following features:

1, self-discipline;

2, man-machine integration;

3, virtual reality technology;

4, self-organization and super-flexibility;

5, learning ability and self-maintenance ability.

From this point of departure, we also say that intelligent manufacturing as a model is an advanced manufacturing system that integrates automation, flexibility, integration, and intelligence into one and continues to develop in-depth, high-tech, high-tech and advanced technologies. The human-machine integration system, which is composed of smart machines and human experts, highlights the analysis, judgment, and reasoning of the intelligent activities of human experts with computer simulation in a highly flexible and integrated manner in all aspects of manufacturing. , ideas and decisions to replace or extend part of the mental work of people in the manufacturing environment. At the same time, collect, store, improve, share, inherit and develop the manufacturing intelligence of human experts.

The traditional production model will be upgraded to automation and intelligence, accelerate the pace of "machine substitution", and ultimately effectively and forcefully promote the transformation and upgrading of the enterprise from "manufacturing" to "intellectual-made" and realize the sustainable development of China's manufacturing industry.
