Smart manufacturing is just the beginning, smart factory is coming

When we talk about smart factories, one of the core requirements that we can't ignore is to realize the integration of information flow, material flow, and management flow. Through the collection and analysis of ERP systems, supply chain management software, the latest Internet of Things (access products and their corresponding components), and big data, information flow and material flow are integrated. In this way, each individual product and component can be monitored and managed in real time in the entire process of production, with advance forecasting, in-fact operations, and post-mortem tracking.

For Chinese companies, the long-term low-end link in the industry chain has caused their lack of information collection and analysis capabilities. Many Chinese companies are not even fully informed about the management of their factories. Even industry leaders are In the past few years, the isolated information island within the company was eliminated, and a unified information management system within the company was established. However, there is still a considerable gap between comprehensive and effective management of information and comprehensive use of information, not to mention the smart factory's new requirements for the creative use of information.

At the same time, the impact of smart manufacturing on procurement and supply chain management is far-reaching. It cuts the production of plants originally planned to be managed into smaller units. It can dynamically plan to smooth production fluctuations, and can also follow the market's reaction to adjust production capacity more quickly. It can also achieve the lowest inventory of raw materials and finished products. , Sharply increase production turnover efficiency. Manufacturers can thus obtain the ability to respond quickly to user needs and market fluctuations. At the same time, all parts involved in the production are interconnected due to the Internet of Things. Manufacturers are expected to achieve Justintime, which is achieved at most in the factory's inventory management in traditional factories, and in real-time inventory in the smart factory market. Suppliers can also be included to achieve true real-time. The benefits it brings are all-inclusive, including: reducing costs, improving delivery efficiency, and managing production capacity.

The smart factory has made many improvements to the current manufacturing form in software and hardware, and the corresponding human resources and management structure of the company must also be adjusted. For smart factories, the demand for human resources is new and multi-layered: First, there are senior talents who can redesign production processes, supply chain management processes, product redesign, big data analysis, and other complex work; Intermediate personnel capable of maintaining the daily plant commissioning and maintenance of intelligent factories, supply chain operations, etc.; the last is to have the manpower reserve of the entire plant's human resources upgrade to meet the higher operational and operational requirements of smart factories. Its management structure has become more flat because of the extensive application of information technology and automated production. The original production structure from the team to the line, then to the workshop and the unit needs to be adjusted to the new production settings.

At present, the biggest challenges for manufacturing companies are: changes in consumer behavior, shortened product cycles, increased supply chain risks, and complicated after-sales services. In these areas, all companies are facing challenges. For large companies that organize production according to the traditional model, such challenges are even more severe.

New technologies such as 3D printing and intelligent design software have greatly reduced the product development process for SMEs, and the division of labor and the rise of industrial clusters have eliminated the need for companies to complete all the work of manufacturing from the beginning to the end, as they did 30 years ago. Innovative financial instruments such as venture capital, crowdfunding, and industrial chain finance also allow SMEs to have stronger financing capabilities than in the past.

In this form, small and medium-sized manufacturing companies should take the lead in realizing the response to user customization and customization needs, redesign product design, production processes, and service processes, using information technology, automated equipment, and intelligence. The transformation of the production system to transform itself so as to achieve the goal of meeting customer needs and intelligent production.

In general, smart manufacturing is still in its infancy in China at this stage. When it comes to smart manufacturing and smart factories in the future, it must also make full use of industrial automation equipment that has been widely used by Chinese manufacturing companies. The future of smart manufacturing is based on redesigned production processes, supply chain management processes, product redesign, and data collection, analysis, and decision-making systems. It needs to form a standard, automation equipment needs to access such a production system, the first need to have is rich in features and application scenarios to meet production needs; second is to meet the needs of information collection, where the information includes product information and operational information; Third, it is necessary to maintain a certain level of production flexibility while standardizing production (standardization of process processes and standardization of parts and components). Finally, the use of friendly interfaces, low maintenance costs, and simple adjustments will be accelerated in the automation society. The popularity of such devices.
