In recent years, China's intelligent manufacturing technology has experienced rapid development and achieved significant results. With the advancement of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data, intelligent manufacturing has become a key driver in transforming traditional manufacturing industries across the country. This article explores the principles, technologies, and the transformative impact of intelligent manufacturing on industrial upgrades.
**First, Understanding Smart Manufacturing**
The fundamental principle of intelligent manufacturing lies in the characteristics of an intelligent system. In a distributed manufacturing network environment, it leverages the concept of distributed integration and applies multi-agent systems from distributed artificial intelligence to enable flexible and intelligent integration within network-based manufacturing systems. The system is designed with self-organization capabilities at both the individual unit and overall system levels, forming a distributed multi-subject intelligent framework.
This approach allows for the creation of a distributed networked intelligent manufacturing system suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Agents are given autonomy to function independently while also collaborating to enhance the system’s self-organization abilities. For instance, a prototype system can be composed of four nodes: system manager, task planning, design, and production. Each node plays a specific role, ensuring efficient communication, data sharing, and real-time monitoring of operations.
**Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies**
Several advanced technologies support the development of intelligent manufacturing:
1. **New Sensing Technology**: High-sensitivity, accurate, and reliable sensors using new materials and methods like quantum measurement and optical fiber sensing.
2. **Modular Control Systems**: Designing hardware and software with open platforms and unified data formats for seamless integration.
3. **Advanced Control & Optimization**: Utilizing large data modeling and high-performance optimization techniques to improve process efficiency.
4. **System Synergy**: Integrating complex automation systems with unified interfaces and event management tools.
5. **Fault Diagnosis & Maintenance**: Implementing online monitoring and self-healing mechanisms for equipment reliability.
6. **Real-Time Communication Networks**: Ensuring secure and reliable wireless and embedded communication for industrial applications.
7. **Functional Safety**: Ensuring safety in both hardware and software through rigorous testing and verification.
8. **Precision Manufacturing**: Advanced machining, molding, and joining techniques for high-quality production.
9. **Identification Technology**: Using RFID and image recognition for tracking and defect detection.
**Second, Intelligent Manufacturing Leading Industrial Transformation**
**1. The Automotive Industry as a Leader**
The automotive sector is at the forefront of intelligent manufacturing. As Zuo Shiquan from the CCID Research Institute highlighted, smart manufacturing represents an ecosystem that spans product development, production, and services. Vehicles are evolving into smart terminals, integrating various functions beyond just transportation. The goal is to create an ecosystem of connected, intelligent vehicles that redefine the industry.
**2. Overcoming Technical Hollowing Out**
Experts emphasize the need to avoid “technical hollowing out†in power battery manufacturing by focusing on high-end, international standards. Companies must invest in R&D, adopt global best practices, and develop independent intellectual property to ensure long-term competitiveness.
**3. Accelerating Industrialization in the Home Appliance Sector**
Home appliance manufacturers are embracing intelligent manufacturing to boost efficiency and reduce labor costs. Companies like Haier and Midea have implemented smart factories, increasing productivity by over 30% and reducing staff significantly. These transformations reflect the shift toward user-centric, data-driven manufacturing models.
**4. New Energy Vehicles as Rising Stars**
With government policies like “Made in China 2025,†the new energy vehicle industry is undergoing a major transformation. Intelligent manufacturing is becoming essential for this sector, enabling customization and personalization. As consumer preferences evolve, the industry must adapt to meet new demands, making intelligent manufacturing a critical trend for the future.
