Top Ten Forwarding Speeches in the Industrial Automation Industry in 2017

2017 is a splendid year for the industrial automation industry. Various innovative products emerge in an endless stream. Various advanced technologies are rapidly being promoted and applied. The whole industry has taken a big step from automation to intelligence. Of course, there are more remarks in the automation industry, such as screaming or screaming, or novelty frontiers, or vocal comments. It is also a beautiful landscape.

The following are the top ten forward-looking remarks of the industrial automation industry in 2017 compiled by Xiaobian. I hope that it will be of reference to the industry and hope to lead the whole industry to think.

1. Schneider Electric: The economic significance of the Internet of Things is comparable to the industrial revolution

According to the survey data, energy consumption will increase by 50% in the global energy supply sector in the next forty years. In the next 25 years, electricity consumption will increase by 80%. At the same time, in order to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by half, if global energy consumption is increased by 50%, energy efficiency must be tripled to achieve the goal. In the energy and power industries that are urgently needed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and control production capacity through new technologies, IoT technology is playing an important role in meeting these challenges.

After investigating the views of 3,000 business elites in 12 countries on the Internet of Things, Schneider Electric concluded that the Internet of Things will be more meaningful to the economic development than the industrial revolution, the Internet and mobile communications, and will greatly promote social innovation and Prosperity will trigger a new round of digital transformation of enterprises. Zhao Guohua, CEO of Schneider Electric, said: "By 2020, there will be 10 billion connected products digitalized."

In an interview, Prith Banerjee, Schneider Electric's global executive vice president, chief technology officer and executive committee member, said, "In the past 100 years, we have been committed to producing the best 'object' for our customers. In the times, we connect these 'things' and become interconnected products."

"The Internet of Things is the future of Schneider Electric." Prith Banerjee believes, "For Schneider Electric, we see the future trend - the integration of IT and OT, which will also contribute to the transformation of Schneider Electric."

2. Omron: Human-machine collaboration is a trend in the future

The digital information revolution has arrived, and a new generation of information technology is having a profound impact on the production line. All the equipment, people and data in the factory will be seamlessly connected through the Internet of Things, and then use big data analysis to optimize production, which is the effect of intelligent manufacturing, and is the latest trend in the current industrial automation industry.

At the 19th China International Industry Fair, Omron, a world-renowned manufacturer of automation control and electronic equipment, exhibited artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, robotic intelligent production solutions and corresponding automation products under the theme of “evolution”.

Ding Zhuo, director of the Omron Robot PJ Advancement Department, said in an interview: "In the traditional sense, robots replace manpower. One is that people are not willing to do things replaced by robots. Second, things that people can't do are done by robots. However, because the use of robots in some specific processes is still difficult to achieve, people need to combine operations. Perhaps the existing technology can not meet such requirements, in this case, the better cooperation between people and machines is A trend in the future, we are always paying attention to the direction of this market. For some specific applications, Omron may also consider some collaborative robots, or will enrich our product line."

3. B&R: Smart Factory stresses market change responsiveness

In the era of Industry 4.0, the concept of the factory has been different. No longer is the worker + assembly line + mass production so simple, Song Huazhen, marketing manager of B&R Industrial Automation (China) Co., Ltd. believes that the core of the smart factory should be the ability to respond to "changes." The “change” here refers to the realization of small batch and multi-variety production, but he also proposed that intelligence should not only include the product itself, but also the “optimization” of basic operation management such as quality, cost and delivery cycle. Smart factories can solve the problem of high quality, low cost and rapid delivery of these foundations, and then personalize on this basis.

There is no doubt that the booming smart factory poses a challenge to the traditional automation market. The industry generally believes that this kind of challenge is a positive push, and Song Huazhen has a different understanding: “Smart factories actually have two positive and negative effects on the automation market. Because smart factories emphasize integration, it The need for open automation products and solutions means that traditional closed systems will be gradually marginalized. Therefore, only those products that continue to extend their IT capabilities will receive positive feedback from the market."

On the other hand, Song Huazhen believes that with the deep application of cloud computing and IoT, the downward extension capability from IT vendors will cause some HMI, network transmission equipment, and on-site collection vendors to suffer certain impacts, although the overall market will grow. However, if it is unable to respond to future open demand, it will be difficult to survive in the market.

4. Li Peigen: The smart manufacturing ecology is quietly changing

On December 7th, Professor Li Huagen, a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a vice president of the China Association for the Advancement of Intelligent Manufacturing, said in an interview. “The development of smart manufacturing in China has made great progress, and the smart manufacturing ecology has quietly changed. ""

Li Peigen said that the Chinese academic circles are very concerned about the development of international intelligent manufacturing, and China's smart manufacturing industry has indeed made great progress. “Many companies have changed their mindsets. We need smart manufacturing and corresponding technical support. This demand has become urgent. This is a big change.”

Li Peigen said that another change in China's smart manufacturing ecosystem is that several large companies are showing their commitment to the development of cloud platforms for smart manufacturing, not only for their own businesses, but also for other companies. "Our country should have a number of large companies that have such a role to build their own platforms. This is also a sign that the ecology of China's smart manufacturing is quietly changing."

5. Gu Jiandang: Talent 4.0 is the first element to promote Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing

On December 7, during the second World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference main forum, Gu Jianfang, president of Phoenix (China) Investment Co., Ltd. said in an interview that in the process of promoting Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, we must first accelerate the promotion of talent 4.0. Construction.

Gu Jiandang said that about five years ago, in the process of the integration of German Industry 4.0 and China's smart manufacturing, Phoenix, as a promoter and initiator, was deeply aware of the leap from “Made in China” to “Made in China”. The biggest bottleneck is the construction of talents, education, and cooperation mechanisms for industry, university and research.

Gu Jiandang said that Phoenix, as a company actively promoting digital transformation, has focused on the practice of digital transformation in establishing university laboratories and conducting industry-university-research cooperation, and has promoted Phoenix's leap from product to technology to intelligent system solutions. In the future, China's smart manufacturing will be further broken, and the promotion of the industry-university-research cooperation mechanism will accelerate.

6. Shenyang Machine Tool: Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Will Change Future Business Models

On April 8-9, 2017, at the 2nd China Manufacturing 2025 (Shenzhen) Summit Forum, Zhao Wei, Acting Chairman and President of Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd., delivered a speech. He said, what is smart manufacturing? Mainly personalized manufacturing, can be met quickly when there is a personalized demand. With intelligent manufacturing technology, the change is the production relationship. No need to concentrate on building large-scale factories, every small factory owner can be the boss, all technical solutions, all services can be solved by the cloud platform smart factory.

Zhao Wei said that in the future, enterprises will not need to purchase equipment, but after the intelligent ecology built around processing needs, industry finance, consumer finance, and supply chain finance will be able to establish a new format and eventually form a shared economy. A radical change in production methods and business models.

“Building a smart ecology around processing needs, what is the closest relationship? Only economic relations are the closest. The ecology established by this cooperation is an ecosystem of cooperation and win-win, especially the smart manufacturing sharing economy nowadays, first of all, for customers, To create value for others to share value. What we really change in this round of intelligent manufacturing is the mode of production, the business model is changed, and the economic sharing is changed. It is necessary to benefit him." Zhao said.

7. Red Lion Control: Let industrial equipment talk to each other

In the era of smart interconnection, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the value of industrial communication products is more prominent, with the influence of “taking the lead and moving the whole body”.

He further elaborated: "The application of wireless LAN technology in industrial control is more and more extensive and important. It is suitable for various industrial environments, ensuring network reliability and security even under extremely harsh conditions. At the device level, field sensors, detectors, PLCs, card readers or other devices are interconnected to form a wireless sensor control network, which becomes a tool for managing data collection within the information system. With the rise of Industry 4.0, wireless network transmission Technology is gaining more and more attention, and wireless products that adapt to the Internet of Things and have security features will be more marketable."

In Gaodong column, the market for wireless applications has become more and more perfect, and the industrial network has higher requirements for real-time data transmission. This requires wireless devices to overcome interference, centralized management, and long delays in communication. The requirements of the industrial network. The rise of the industrial Internet of Things also requires wireless networks to seamlessly integrate with wired networks, so integrated routing, centralized management, and high security features are requirements for wireless devices in the future.
