Manufacturing transformation does not mean that machine substitution is the key to intelligent innovation

The manufacturing industry has come to the critical transition and upgrade. “Automation,” “digital,” and “machine substitution” have become hot words. However, many people will unilaterally equate manufacturing transformation with machine substitutions. This is not the case. There are “four challenges” in the process of manufacturing transformation. In the future development process, intelligent innovation is the key.

It is understood that there are more than 8,000 enterprises involved in the production of robots in China, of which more than 200 are robotic body manufacturing enterprises. Most of them are assembled and subcontracted. They are at the low end of the industrial chain, have low industrial concentration, and have a small overall scale. Many Chinese robot manufacturers sell less than 1,000 units each year, and it is difficult to cover the R&D costs of core components. Some domestic robot manufacturers can only survive in the production of some components and parts, and a considerable part of robot companies are in a state of deficit.

“At present, there is a high level of enthusiasm for the development of advanced manufacturing or emerging industries everywhere, but there is a phenomenon of 'blind investment' and 'turning upside down' and even the emergence of 'low end of high-end industries'.” In recent days in Guangzhou In the “National Science Day” held in 2016, the 120th lecture of “Guangzhou Science Popularity Forum” was also lectured in South China Botanical Garden. Prof. Jinping Jin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and South China University of Technology, specializes in polymer material processing and molding equipment technology and theory. "Industry Innovation Drives the Development of Challenges and Opportunities" as Keynote Speech. In the report, he used the example of the PRD company to point out that China’s manufacturing enterprises must change from processing and manufacturing to innovation and manufacturing, from labor-intensive to intelligence-intensive, and from importing to following independent innovation, and to industrial transformation. Problems encountered in the upgrade process propose strategies. More than 200 people, including citizens from the Guangzhou area and university students, listened to the excellent report of Academician Jin Jinping.

There are "four challenges" in the process of manufacturing transformation

In the report, Academician Jinping Jin used vivid and plain language, status and prospects from product manufacturing, challenges faced by China's manufacturing industry, key manufacturing technologies and their development, independent innovation and role of manufacturing, and innovation-driven manufacturing transformation. In five aspects, the author explained in a simple and easy way the position of China's manufacturing industry in the international arena and the necessity of transformation and upgrading.

Jinping Jin analysis, China's manufacturing industry in the transformation process, the main face the following challenges: on the one hand is the low-end excess, high-end lack; at the same time, high-end industries low-end; Third, standardization, integration backward, the lack of high-end standards in the manufacturing industry In addition, the status quo of cheap and low quality has not yet fundamentally changed. The quality and reliability of some key materials, key components, and core systems are not too high. He believes that the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry is not simply replacing people with “machines.” If the products are not innovative, the core technologies fail to break through, and the products produced are just “new bottled old wines,” making it difficult to increase value.

Increase the added value of products through intelligent innovation and transformation

Academician Jinping Jin made an analysis of the robot industry. It is understood that there are more than 8,000 enterprises involved in the production of robots in China, of which more than 200 are robotic body manufacturing enterprises. Most of them are assembled and subcontracted. They are at the low end of the industrial chain, have low industrial concentration, and have a small overall scale. Many Chinese robot manufacturers sell less than 1,000 units each year, and it is difficult to cover the R&D costs of core components. Some domestic robot manufacturers can only survive in the production of some components and parts, and a considerable part of robot companies are in a state of deficit.

The data shows that from 2013 to 2015, China has become the world's largest robot market for three consecutive years. According to the data released by the International Federation of Robotics, China's sales of industrial robots were 66,000 units in 2015, an increase of 16% year-on-year, with a total of 256,000 units. However, the market share of Chinese robot manufacturers is low, and there are small and scattered situations.

Jin Jinping said that the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry is not simply a matter of giving the robots a handful of past activities. "If the product is still the original product, the connotation has not changed, but only a little labor is saved, and the product still cannot achieve high added value." He stressed that intelligent transformation should combine two points: First, intelligent equipment must be strong; second, product itself must be innovative, core technology should be a breakthrough, “only good means can be used to make a good product. Open the market, it can not produce high added value."
