Defining intelligent manufacturing with industrial software, Shandong activates the "brain" of manufacturing industry
In the year of achieving breakthroughs in the transformation of old and new driving forces in Shandong Province over the past five years, the digital transformation of industries has been comprehensively accelerated, and new technologies, industries, formats, and models have become important driving forces for high-quality economic development.
Undoubtedly, in promoting the digital transformation of manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing is the core, and the deep application of industrial software is the key. Industrial software connects the R&D end, supply chain end, production end, quality end, equipment end, and marketing end of enterprises, realizing the overall linkage and efficient collaboration of the business chain, and laying a solid foundation for the digital transformation of manufacturing. "Recently, Wei Daisen, Vice President of Inspur Group, told Economic Daily reporters.
1. Intelligent manufacturing is the core of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry
After nearly 5 years of continuous reform, the dividends of the transformation of old and new driving forces in Shandong have begun to emerge, and the fundamental transformation of economic development from "quantity" to "quality" and from "form" to "momentum" has been achieved. At present, the integration level of informatization and industrialization in Shandong ranks second in the country, and multiple projects have become national benchmarks.
It is worth noting that in the "14th Five Year Plan" for the development of intelligent manufacturing jointly released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight departments, a two-step strategy for intelligent manufacturing is proposed. By 2025, most manufacturing enterprises above designated size will achieve digitization and networking, and key industry backbone enterprises will initially achieve intelligence.
In Wei Daisen's view, manufacturing is the main battlefield for enterprise digital transformation, and "promoting high-quality development of manufacturing plays a crucial role in the overall digital economy
Why is intelligent manufacturing the key and core of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry?
Behind Industry 4.0 is Consumption 4.0, which seems to be a cycle from automated mass production to today's large-scale personalized customization. In the past, the production model was product centered and manufacturing centered, while the core of large-scale personalized customization was customer-centric and consumption driven. Manufacturing is transforming into the service industry, which is the current background for promoting intelligent manufacturing, "Wei Daisen emphasized。
2. How to move from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing
China Railway Industry has been building smart factories since 2019, establishing a complete ERP system in 2020, and building the entire intelligent manufacturing system in 2021. Through the integration of five major industrial software systems, vertical integration and horizontal interconnection have been achieved. PLM, ERP, SCM, MES, IIoT and other systems have been fully connected, helping the company move from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, from selling products to 'product+service' transformation, and from extensive factories to lean digital factories. Production efficiency has been greatly improved, making it a benchmark enterprise for intelligent manufacturing in China. ”Wei Daisen introduced to the Economic Daily reporter.
In his opinion, in the process of enterprises moving from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, it is essential to establish a digital mainline for the entire product lifecycle, which is the most important. Wei Daisen stated:
1.It is necessary to design based on the most advanced models, build a unified data model, and fully integrate the three links of design, manufacturing, and management;
2.To innovate the digital supply chain, change the traditional single chain model, and build a networked, collaborative, intelligent, visible, and predictable supply chain system;
3.To establish an industry collaboration network around commercial and business collaboration networks, and collaborate with production service providers, suppliers, logistics providers, and asset operators;
4.The core of establishing a new generation of intelligent factories is to use industrial software, including MES, EMS, WMS, QMS and other systems, to solve the efficient integration problem of end-to-end production and manufacturing, and achieve transparency, greening, refinement and intelligence of the entire production process;
5.To utilize AI+data edge side, activate the potential of industrial big data, and develop AI scenarios such as machine vision intelligent inspection and real-time safety production control;
6.To promote the application of the next generation of industrial IoT networks, integrate new generation network technologies such as 5G and TSN, build precise and real-time perception industrial IoT networks, and create a fast response human-machine collaborative manufacturing mode.
3. Cracking the bottleneck problem of industrial software
The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry needs to be led by digital transformation; The core of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry is intelligent manufacturing; Intelligent manufacturing, on the other hand, is defined by industrial software - a logical line that is now increasingly recognized by manufacturing companies.
As a crucial tool supporting the development and innovation of a manufacturing powerhouse, industrial software has become a key driver for improving the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing industry, and accelerating the transformation of old and new driving forces, "said Wei Daisen.
According to the Economic Daily, by resolutely implementing the national software development strategy and deepening the major project of "Two Famous Cities with Multiple Parks, and One Hundred Enterprises Cultivating Thousand Products", Shandong Province has continuously created a new situation in the development of the software industry. From January to July this year, the province's software industry achieved a revenue of 493.71 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.8%.
Among them, Jinan and Qingdao, two famous software cities in China, achieved software revenue of 238.73 billion yuan and 171.69 billion yuan respectively from January to July, a year-on-year increase of 14% and 12.9%. Qilu Software Park and Qingdao Software Park have been selected as national demonstration bases for new industrialization industries and are actively striving to become famous software parks in China. A number of industrial software "Shandong brands" such as Inspur Software and Huatian Software have been launched.
In order to jointly explore the industrialization path of industrial software, build an industrial software innovation system, and support the high-quality development of Shandong's industrial software industry, the "Shandong Industrial Software Alliance" initiated by Inspur Tongsoft has been officially launched recently. Based in Shandong and facing the whole country, it will gather various forces in the industrial software industry ecosystem, effectively integrate resources from industry, academia, research, and application, optimize the industrial development environment, expand the tightly coupled ecosystem, solve key software bottleneck problems, and accelerate the technological innovation and industrial development of Shandong's industrial software industry.
Industrial software, as a crucial tool supporting the development and innovation of a manufacturing powerhouse, plays a crucial role in promoting intelligent manufacturing. Through in-depth application of industrial software, it is possible to connect the R&D domain, supply chain domain, production domain, quality domain, equipment domain, and marketing domain, achieving overall linkage and efficient collaboration of the business chain. Inspur has formed an independent and complete industrial software system, covering key applications in various fields such as digital supply chain, production and manufacturing, quality management, intelligent factory, intelligent logistics, equipment services, etc., from the edge layer industrial Internet of Things platform to the workshop layer MOM intelligent factory management system, and then to the ERP management system, fully supporting the digital transformation and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
