From the industrial 1.0 steam engine era, to the industrial 2.0 electrification era, and then to the industrial 3.0 information era, nowadays, the information technology-based industrial revolution and the industrial 4.0 intelligent era are sweeping the globe and bring huge market opportunities.

Today, intelligent manufacturing has become an irresistible trend in the global manufacturing industry. In the coming 2018, facing new trends in the industry, Siemens, Schneider, Emerson, Delta and other domestic and international industrial control leaders are vigorously laying out the intelligent manufacturing market. And have unique insights into the future development of the industry. Therefore, in order to better penetrate the industrial control industry and analyze the development of the industry, OFweek Industrial Control Network carried out a list of the top ten industrial control statements of 2018. The following are the real-time views of major enterprises.

1. Siemens Tony Hemmelgarn: Digital technology helps Chinese factories shorten time to market

After taking over, Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO of Siemens Industrial Software, said: "After years of accumulation, Siemens has a deep understanding of China's industrial development and can help Chinese customers earn real digital dividends and achieve greater flexibility and higher production Efficiency, shorter time to market, and better product quality.

Summary: With the continuous integration of manufacturing and emerging information technology, the digital wave at home and abroad has swept through. As one of the "leaders" in the industrial control industry, Siemens has a certain guiding role in the domestic digital development. In August of this year, after Siemens announced the implementation of corporate structure adjustments, the digital industry has become a "big deal" for Siemens' future development. Facing the tide of intelligent manufacturing, as one of the hot industries, Siemens is rapidly expanding its digital industry. In the future, the digital industry may also be the main force for the future growth of corporate performance.

2. Dr. Porter: Artificial Intelligence and Industry 4.0 will go hand in hand

Dr. Porter of the German Artificial Intelligence Research Center once said: "The" Industry 4.0 "strategy proposed by the German government in 2013 covers artificial intelligence. The" Industry 4.0 "strategy focuses on the use of the Internet and artificial intelligence technology in manufacturing and other fields. People and machines, machines and machines are connected to realize intelligent operation and intelligent production. "

Summary: It is undeniable that Industry 4.0 has brought a "big reversal" to traditional German and even global manufacturing. The new model not only greatly saves manpower and production time, but also greatly improves production efficiency. And artificial intelligence as an enabling technology, combined with the Industry 4.0 model will generate greater business value.

3. Academician Zhou Ji: a new generation of information technology opens a new stage of intelligent manufacturing

At the 2018 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Academician Summit, Zhou Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and honorary chairman of the presidency of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "Smart manufacturing is the main focus and main direction of innovation and development of China's manufacturing industry. Currently, the Industrial Internet, Big Data and Artificial intelligence achieves group breakthroughs and integration applications, and informatization featuring new-generation artificial intelligence technology has created a new stage of digital, networked, and intelligent manufacturing in manufacturing. "

Summary: In response to Industry 4.0 in Germany or the Digital Internet of Things industry in the United States, China launched the “Made in China 2025” strategic plan in 2015, with the aim of adapting to the change in the global manufacturing landscape, promoting domestic manufacturing transformation and upgrading, and reshaping manufacturing New competitive advantage. It is foreseeable that a long period of time in the future will be an important period for the rapid growth of domestic intelligent manufacturing.

4. Qu Xianming: Intelligentization is the only way for domestic manufacturing to cope with the new situation

Qu Xianming, former vice president of the China Central Academy of Machinery Research, visited Xinhua.com in a special interview with the National Two Sessions of the People's Republic of China in 2018. When manufacturing industry responded to the new situation, first of all, they must pay attention to the intelligence of products. Advanced sensors, network communications, control systems, and robots used in the production of some large products can greatly optimize the performance and functions of traditional equipment. Secondly, the production process must be intelligent. Through big data, analyze the defects in the production process, and use artificial intelligence technology to analyze the quality problems of the products. Only in this way can the problems be solved.

Summary: China is known as the "world's factory", which relies on the huge domestic labor force. However, with the advancement of science and technology and the seriousness of the traditional manufacturing industry's disadvantages, the development of the manufacturing industry towards digitalization, networking, and intelligence has become an inevitable development trend. In this way, not only the high stability and reliability of product quality can be guaranteed, but also the manufacturing of China can gradually transition to high precision, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of "the world's manufacturing power".
