Not long ago, China Unicom officially launched the world's first full 5G industrial Internet end to end application in the "5G first demonstration area" in Xinchang, Zhejiang. It successfully installed and adjusted the three components of Siling automobile bearing, Zhong Cai pipeline and Xin Chai stock. It uploaded the real-time production data through the 5G Industrial Internet gateway, and formed the network interconnection of machines, raw materials, control systems, information systems, products and people. Through the real-time transmission and exchange of industrial data, rapid calculation processing and advanced modeling analysis, the intelligent control, operation optimization and production weaving mode transformation were realized.

"The notice issued recently by the Ministry of industry and information on the" 5G+ industrial Internet "512 project promotion plan has clearly defined the goal of 5G+ industrial Internet construction in 2022. 5G industrial Internet speed trend is obvious. In December 27, 2019, Li Yunzhou, executive partner of Beijing University's vertical and horizontal partner, and executive director of the center of China's vision and Fogg Research Institute, said in an interview with an economic report reporter in twenty-first Century.

In Li Yunzhou's view, with the accelerated landing of 5G business in 2020, the industrial Internet infrastructure area, including computing, storage, data center and network security, is expected to develop rapidly. In the long run, with the continuous improvement of the network infrastructure, the development of the industrial Internet industry will go through three stages: connectivity, perception and intelligence. When the data accumulates to a certain level, it will enter the intelligent age of the Internet of things, and all kinds of new modes of innovation will also emerge.

Reconstruction of production mode

With the rapid innovation of communication technology, the mode of production of manufacturing enterprises is undergoing tremendous changes.

In the Wuxi digital washing machine factory of Mei Group, through the improvement of pulling matching, combined with the simulation tool, the continuous flow of the box part and the continuous flow of the inner cylinder line are improved. Reduce the number of employees 113 people, reduce the area of 6525 square meters; shorten the distribution route by adjusting the logistics layout 23%; electronic tag, wireless location, AI vision and voiceprint detection and other new technologies combined with edge computing, reduce attrition 22 people, equipment abnormal reduction of 10%, line efficiency 34%, inspection process efficiency 15%, self error rate 37%.

In the Shenzhen light off factory of the industrial Fu Lian, the "fog cerebellum" connects massive devices to edge computing and cloud computing, and applies to surface mounting, CNC machining, robotics, environmental data acquisition and other scenes, covering the whole industry data acquisition. The robot + sensor mode develops self sensing, self diagnosis, self repairing, self optimizing and adaptive functions of robot AI, which improves product yield while reducing cost wastage. Industrial Alliance CEO Zheng Hong Meng introduced to the twenty-first Century economic report reporter: "we pioneered the transformation of the lighting factory model in the field of internal precision tools, and became the world's first intelligent tool factory for discrete manufacturing and worry free production. It included the core elements of supply chain intelligent decision-making, fully automated flexible assembly line, AI intelligent sub inspection and diversion system, production of big data decision center, etc., so as to optimize the production process based on data driven decision-making and the synergy effect of the platform, achieving a 30% increase in production efficiency, a 15% reduction in inventory cycle and a 92% reduction in production manpower."

Foxconn, the world's foundries, improves quality and efficiency by optimizing industrial machinery arms and automation equipment on the production line. Zheng Hongmeng said, "as of now, more than 80 thousand robots have been developed by the Industry Federation, which are distributed over 40 factories across the country."

Such similar scenes are happening more and more in other factories in China. Ge Long Hui statistics show that China's smart factory market scale in the next few years or will maintain an average annual growth rate of more than 10%, it is estimated that by 2022, the market size is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan.

In January 2017, the US group's takeover of KUKA was officially completed, and at the same time, the "new generation of man machine" strategy was launched at the same time, cutting into the robot manufacturing track. "Through the new generation strategy of human-machine, we want to achieve two effects. On the one hand, we serve the people. We hope that we can use digital and intelligent technology to provide better services for consumers. On the other hand, we are liberating people, liberating employees, suppliers, and even partners in the entire production chain." Zhou Xiaoling, Minister and chief architect of the US group's supply chain system, explained to reporters on twenty-first Century economic report that the goal of the strategy in the past three years is to achieve comprehensive digitalization and comprehensive intelligence.

According to the different industrial foundation, the main enterprises that are mainly involved in the construction of industrial Internet are concentrated in four main categories: the first is the equipment automation enterprises represented by GE, SIEMENS, BOSCH and space cloud network; the second is information communication enterprises represented by HUAWEI, Ali, purple light and wave; the third category is big data enterprises based on software development, such as UFIDA, petro Pacific, and orient Guoxin; the fourth is based on the upgrading of traditional manufacturing enterprises, such as Foxconn and the United States.

"From the perspective of long-term development, different platforms are not simply competitive relations, or who will become mainstream in the future." According to Li Yunzhou analysis, under the background of current macro policy support, the platform is based on their respective advantages and complementary and coordinated development, thus forming a resultant force to jointly promote the construction and development of China's industrial Internet.

5G iteration

The gradual progress of 5G has also made intelligent manufacturing an iterative competition in information and communication systems.

"Through 5G technology, manufacturing engineering can realize interconnection and interconnection from design, production to sales, and on this basis, realize the integration and optimization of resources so as to further improve the production efficiency and product quality of enterprises." Pacific Securities analyst Liu Guoqing analysis.

Midea is trying to make it more efficient to receive information and task commands through the slicing of 5G network. "The operator can arrange work tasks for the mechanical arm remotely, so as to achieve production control. Our Jingzhou refrigerator factory in the United States has achieved intelligent inspection through the use of AI technology in 8 key processes and points. At present, the quality digitization rate has increased from 15.8% to 100%, and the inspection automation automation rate has increased from 5% to 67%, and the product quality improvement has reached 15%." Zhou Xiaoling said that in the future, driven by 5G technology, intelligent manufacturing based on industrial Internet platform will be similar to the shared economy. Excellent enterprises can benefit from small and medium-sized enterprises by sharing their own advantages, sharing manufacturing and sharing supply chains, and large enterprises can also win a win-win situation by providing services.

At the same time, 5G will bring faster speed to sensor and data transmission. Intelligent factory will have less delay, have a more comprehensive insight into problems, find problems and solve problems in time and accurately.

Industrial Fu Lian has already made comprehensive preparations and layout in the field of "5G+ industrial Internet", and its investment is still expanding. "We are concerned not only at the software level, but also in applications and even ecosystem construction." Zheng Hongmeng said that the following will be widely applied in internal scenes, including logistics inspection AGV based on 5G and visual navigation, AGV, 5G+8K based Park driverless logistics vehicle, intelligent storage center, precision tooling intelligent processing line, intelligent lighting factory and so on. Through the combination of cloud computing and 5G, intelligent transformation of industrial scene will be made to promote the goal of improving quality, increasing efficiency, reducing cost and reducing inventory better and faster.
