Building An Industrial Internet, Strong Matrix Beauty, The Road Of Technological Transformation And Empowerment

As an important cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution, the industrial Internet has become an indispensable factor in the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. From the digitalization and intellectualization of the supply chain to the automation and lean management of the production end, and the addition of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and so on, the technological attributes of the giant manufacturer of electrical appliances in the US are becoming more and more obvious.

At the first "industrial Internet" business exchange meeting in the US, the media learned that since the US group accelerated its digital transformation in 2013, it has achieved good results in both revenue and net profit in 5 years; the US industrial Internet pilot plant in Nansha.

After automation and digitalization, the inventory of raw materials and semi finished products has been reduced by 80%. The self developed injection plane library automatic distribution system has raised the turnover rate of logistics by 2-4 times. The first fully developed automatic production line in the factory has increased automation to 65% of the industry, the quality has been increased by 17%, and the overall manufacturing efficiency has increased by 44%. The air conditioner domestic delivery cycle has been delivered from the past more than 20 days to the fastest 3 days, and the export delivery cycle has been shortened to 24 days.

The effect of industrial interconnection and digital transformation is obvious to the United States, but the greater value lies in the fact that the United States has transformed the experience accumulated in the process of its own group transformation into products, and has continued to output for the industry.

As Jin Jiang, general manager of Yun Yun Zhi, said in his speech, faced with the practical problems of China's manufacturing industry, such as demographic dividend, cost advantage and overcapacity, the use of technology to promote industrial upgrading is a great opportunity and challenge for Chinese traditional manufacturing industry.

And its business scope covers the industrial Internet matrix of intelligent manufacturing, big data & mobile identity management, digital marketing, finance and manpower, consulting management, intelligent logistics and so on, which is the key to the breakthroughs in the whole value chain of manufacturing industry.

　　 Five years invested more than 8 billion, the results of the digital transformation of the United States highlighted.

The digital transformation of Midea began in 2012 and began to move forward rapidly in 2013. Before that, the various departments in the United States Group set up their own system, not only the data flow was not smooth, but also the statistical standards were difficult to be unified. In order to solve the decentralized system, the United States Group unified the whole company in the 1 stage of digitalization, and regarded "one beauty, one system, one standard" as the basic rule of the internal system construction of the group.

The unification of standards and systems provides abundant data soil for the subsequent digital transformation of the United States. Therefore, in the era of "Internet +", the United States built a platform for intelligent manufacturing, mobile and big data, which has greatly promoted the efficiency of enterprises.

In the 2 era of digitalization, C2M and flexible manufacturing become the key words. The vice president and CIO of Mei group mentioned in the speech that there are two main problems that the United States can solve at this stage: in the enterprise's internal management level, the results oriented management will be promoted to process management; at the manufacturing level, the whole data link from the client to the production stage will be opened up, and the process of data driven C2M customization will lead to R & D and flexible manufacturing.

In 2018, the United States officially released the M.IoT industrial Internet platform. Its core competency is derived from the management and manufacturing experience mentioned earlier. At the same time, with autonomous and open software, platform, and acquisition and autonomous development of robot, hardware and automation capabilities, the United States has achieved the full range of industrial interconnection between users, customers, suppliers, employees, products, machinery and equipment, robots, logistics equipment and so on, and has gone through the whole process of software driven operation.

From the data point of view, the effect of reform is remarkable. At the event, the United States released a set of data showing the pilot results of the industrial Internet: channel inventory reduced by 32%, component commonality increased by 96%, raw material and WIP inventory decreased by 31%, manufacturing comprehensive efficiency increased by 15%, trial production and trial production cycle decreased by 45%, scheduling efficiency increased by 83%, quality index reached 17%, customer service satisfaction increased from 95.1% to 97%.

More specifically in the United States over the past 5 years of overall revenue. In the past 5 years, the development of digital technology has exceeded 8 billion yuan.

There is no doubt that large numbers of resources and R & D costs need to be invested in the digital transformation within the enterprise. Not all enterprises have the ability to walk the road themselves. At this point, borrowing the mature schemes already available on the market, we will seize the opportunity of the cloud and the upper platform first and embrace the industrial Internet in the first place before we can become the beginning of change. And the number of us cloud intelligence in the US is taking the lead in the market.

　　 Build industrial Internet matrix, fully export digital transformation capability

Mei Yun Zhi is located in the whole value chain enterprise cloud, which is a subsidiary of the IT Department of the US in 2016. At present, the US cloud number is not only applied to many factories inside the United States, but also officially opened to the outside world in 2017, and now it has provided the experience and products for more than 20 industries and over 200 enterprises to provide digital transformation. It not only includes the big data and intelligent manufacturing value chain software, but also has the key of human capital management. Its customers include Gujing Gong liquor, Changan automobile, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Yang Sheng Tang (farmer's spring), Heng An Group, Haitian flavor industry, Zijin mining industry, Yonghui supermarket, STANLEY Black & Decker, HUAWEI, OPPO, XTEP and so on.

In the field of industrial robotics and automation, in 2017, KUKA, the German robotics giant, which was officially attracted by the United States, is another weapon of the United States. At the same time, with the development of cloud computing, industrial robots are not only a single repetitive action machine, but also a part of the industrial Internet system.

Take KUKAConnect as an example, this intelligent platform based on cloud big data analysis allows users to access the robot state through any APP device, visualize data and actions, and monitor workflow.

KUKA's industrial simulation software Visual Components has also been widely used in the United States. Taking the Nansha intelligent factory in the US as an example, the software emulate a digital model which is exactly the same as the actual factory through digital twin technology, and synchronously synchronize the production process. When there are problems with equipment in the actual operation, the virtual factory will synchronously display the failure of the equipment on the screen, thus greatly reducing the time of failure development.

KUKA group, an automated logistics solution provider, has an advantage in warehousing automation and intelligent distribution.

With the change of business mode, customers' demands and competitors, logistics enterprises face huge challenges in various business modes: diversification of brand sales, flat of multi-level distribution, diversification of customer needs, etc. It is the modern logistics system that carries the entire business value chain from manufacturing, brand channels, retail outlets to final customers.

The United States of China's Ande Zhi Lian, with "cloud + number + intelligence" as the driving force, set up logistics data platform, scene covering procurement and inbound logistics, finished goods logistics and delivery and integration, and other links, to achieve warehousing and logistics of the whole digital control.

From home appliance manufacturing giant to industrial Internet and digital technology exporter, in the process of transformation technology group, the United States feels not only the upgrading of the technology content of the group itself, but more importantly, these experiences have been precipitated and exported to different enterprises through standardized products.

At this stage, not all enterprises have enough energy and ability to carry out digital transformation and layout of the industrial Internet. But the trend of the future is becoming obvious now. Perhaps it is the only way to embrace the change.
