On March 16, in Beijing, at the "2023 (12th) China Intelligent Manufacturing Summit Forum and the 20th China Intelligent Manufacturing Year-end Inventory Award Ceremony", Professor Li Peigen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, grandly released and deeply interpreted the "2022-2023 China's Manufacturing and Intelligent Manufacturing Top Ten Hot Spots". This article is "Top Ten Hot Spots of Intelligent Manufacturing".
TOP 01
In 2022, the mainland manufacturing industry is facing severe challenges, and intelligent manufacturing has become the core strategy of the manufacturing industry to cope with the challenges. To this end, Continental continues to encourage the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, further emphasizes the importance of intelligent manufacturing, and clarifies the "main direction of attack" for manufacturing development. The central government and the local government jointly launched policies related to intelligent manufacturing, so that the "14th Five-Year Plan" intelligent manufacturing development plan can be further implemented, and help the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry.
TOP 02
With the accelerated development of the mainland manufacturing industry to digitalization and intelligence, the scale of the industrial software industry has maintained a stable development trend, and the capital market has become more and more favored by it. E-works believes that domestic industrial software enterprises should fully understand the contradiction between the short-term profit-seeking nature of capital and the long-term and arduous development of industrial software, and still need to think calmly and forge ahead while leveraging the capital market.
TOP 03
Smart factory construction is the core field of intelligent manufacturing. At present, manufacturing enterprises in various industries are actively promoting the construction and transformation of smart factories, and a large number of smart factory construction models have emerged. However, there are still many problems and misunderstandings in promoting the construction of smart factories. The construction of smart factories is a gradual process that requires "five-level cultivation".
TOP 04
According to a report released by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in December 2022, the density of industrial robots in mainland China reached 322 per 10,000 workers in 2021, surpassing the United States for the first time and ranking fifth in the world. This is mainly due to the continuous expansion of the mainland industrial robot market and applications driven by the demand for intelligent manufacturing and manufacturing transformation and upgrading, as well as the help of the capital market. However, the mainland industrial robot industry still needs to consolidate the foundation and move forward pragmatically.
TOP 05
In 2022, the global electric vehicle market will grow rapidly, and China is one of the main markets for global electric vehicle sales, which directly drives the development of smart factory non-standard automation integrators. However, the transformation of vehicle electrification has also brought new challenges to digitalization and intelligence for non-standard automation integrators in smart factories. At present, smart factory non-standard automation integrators are developing in the direction of specialization, while paying more attention to digital services.
TOP 06
As the core of enterprises to achieve accurate calculation and full control of the entire production process, from long-term supply chain design and optimization to production planning and workshop scheduling, APS has received widespread attention from manufacturing enterprises and continuously expanded the scope of industry applications. Manufacturers with different backgrounds have entered the APS market, and the ecology is hot. However, factors such as insufficient awareness of APS and lack of best practices that can be referred to still restrict the pace of APS application in mainland manufacturing enterprises.
TOP 07
In 2022, driven by the stimulation of industrial policies and application demand, the smart sensor market will be "stimulated". Among them, MEMS, CIS, radar, radio frequency, fingerprint and other smart sensors have shown the characteristics of mature markets. Especially in machinery manufacturing, automobiles, high-end equipment, electronics, petrochemicals, metallurgy and other industries, the application scenarios of intelligent sensors continue to expand.
TOP 08
The market impact brought by ChatGPT is obvious to all, and it has also triggered a new AI boom in the world. For manufacturing enterprises, the algorithm and training process behind the ChatGPT model are more novel, which is expected to drive AI to land in more scenarios. Scenario innovation will also become a new path for AI technology upgrading and industrial growth, further promoting the deep integration of AI and manufacturing.
TOP 09
With the acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of China's "manufacturing" to China's "intelligent manufacturing", the mainland manufacturing industry has gradually moved towards the high-end value chain, deriving a large number of intelligent manufacturing talent demand. The cultivation of intelligent manufacturing talents has attracted increasing attention. Strengthening the training of intelligent manufacturing talents and establishing an intelligent manufacturing talent team is of great significance to promoting the development of intelligent manufacturing.
TOP 10
With the increasing adoption of digital twin platforms, many digital twin platforms have sprung up. These digital twin platforms emphasize the integration of rich suites and tools, which are manifested in deep integration with technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, AR/VR/MR, etc. Since different vendors have different understanding of the technical system and value of digital twins, digital twin platforms present different development ideas.
