When Germany proposed "Industry 4.0", it was quite forward-looking at the time, like drawing a high-tech dream for the global manufacturing industry.
They envision a highly intelligent and automated production environment, using advanced information technology to make machines and people smarter, and production efficiency and personalized customization capabilities have been improved by several steps.
When this concept first came out, it was really eye-catching, as if it would open the door to the future industry as soon as it opened its eyes tomorrow.
As a result, more than ten years have passed, and when we look back, the slogan was loud and loud, but now it has become a joke.
On the contrary, we in China listened carefully at the beginning, not only listened to it, but also worked hard, and now it has become a star on the global industrial stage.
First of all, what exactly is this Industry 4.0?
To put it simply, it is an upgraded version of the manufacturing industry, where is the power? It can make every link of the production process, from raw material procurement to finished product delivery, all data-based and intelligent, so that machines and people, machines and machines communicate like friends, the efficiency is so high, and customized products can be done in minutes.
The Germans proposed three major directions at that time: "smart factory", "smart production" and "smart logistics".
It sounds like a blueprint for the factory of the future. Imagine that the factory thinks on its own, the robots and humans on the production line dance in harmony, and the goods find their own buyers, doesn't it feel like science fiction?
But in the end, Germany's plan is more like an ideal utopia.
We in China have really put these ideas into practice.
In 2015, our "Made in China 2025" was born, which can be said to have absorbed the essence of Industry 4.0, and it is not just talking, it is really doing.
For example, the speed and scale of China's development in the fields of new energy vehicles, 5G communications, and high-speed railways can be described as "leaping". Like the photovoltaic industry, we have achieved the world's leading, and the fields of smart home and smart logistics are also blooming everywhere.
It can be said that Made in China 2025 is not only catching up, but also surpassing in some areas, showing a strong late-mover advantage.
Among them, we have won 34 of the 35 core technologies, and only semiconductors are still struggling, but this progress bar has been pulled to 99%, do you say it is not a cow?
On the other hand, in Germany, the voice of Industry 4.0 is getting smaller and smaller, and the coal era seems to be making a comeback.
Sorry, let's take it slowly.
The once-glorious automobile industry has also been shaken by the wave of electric vehicles. As for the United States and Europe, they are still thinking about how to join forces to deal with our photovoltaic industry and engage in anti-dumping.
To be honest, our Chinese enthusiasm is really not covered. When Europe and the United States were arguing about aiding Ukraine or confronting Russia, we were wholeheartedly engaged in construction and developing our own strength.
As a result, people's "Industry 4.0" has become a talk on paper, but our "Made in China" has become a reality, and it has exceeded expectations.
Behind this, to put it bluntly, is the problem of execution. People say it well, we are doing beautifully, we can't just shout slogans, we have to come up with real money.
It is under this spirit of hard work that China has stepped into the forefront of the world step by step, becoming a real "world factory", and moving towards a higher and smarter manufacturing future.
So, don't care what others say, let's work hard and speak with strength. This is China's speed, this is China's power, people have to be convinced! What do you want to say about this, remember to share and write down your views!
