Intelligent manufacturing has fundamentally changed the competitive elements of enterprises, from the previous two resources of materials and energy as the core to the competition of three resources of materials, energy and information, thus producing two kinds of productivity, namely the traditional one. The industrial productivity represented by materials and energy and the information productivity represented by information, these three resources and two productive forces together form the core of future enterprise competition. So, what are the top ten core technologies of intelligent manufacturing in 2019?
The so-called intelligent manufacturing (IM) of industrial computer refers to a man-machine integrated intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts. It can carry out intelligent activities in the manufacturing process, such as analysis, reasoning, judgment, conception and decision-making, etc. , through the synergy between people, people and machines, and machines and machines, to expand, extend and partially replace the mental work of human experts in the manufacturing process.

1. Cyber Physics System
CPS: Cyber-Physical Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, is a multi-dimensional complex system that integrates computing, network and physical environment. Through the organic integration and deep collaboration of 3C (Computing, Communication, Control) technologies, it realizes real-time perception of large engineering systems. , dynamic control and information services, so that physical equipment has five functions of computing, communication, control, remote coordination and autonomy, so as to realize the integration of virtual network world and real physical world. CPS can bring together resources, information, objects and people to create the Internet of Things and related services, and transform production plants into a smart environment.
2. Artificial Intelligence
AI: Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence), which is the research and development of theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating, extending and expanding human intelligence. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence. Research in this field includes robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems.
3. Augmented Reality
AR: Augmented reality technology, Augmented Reality, it is a new technology that "seamlessly" integrates real world information and virtual world information, and is a kind of entity information that is difficult to experience in a certain time and space of the real world. (information such as vision, sound, taste, touch, etc.) Through computer and other science and technology, simulation and simulation are then superimposed, and virtual information is applied to the real world and perceived by human senses, so as to achieve a sensory experience beyond reality. The real environment and virtual objects are superimposed on the same screen or space in real time. Augmented reality technology not only displays real-world information, but also displays virtual information at the same time, and the two kinds of information complement and superimpose each other. Augmented reality technology includes multimedia, three-dimensional modeling, real-time video display and control, multi-sensor fusion, real-time tracking and registration, scene fusion and other new technologies and new means.
4 Model-Based Enterprise
MBE: Model-Based Enterprise, Model-BasedEnterprise, is a manufacturing entity that uses modeling and simulation technology to thoroughly improve and seamlessly integrate all technical and business processes of its design, manufacturing, and product support. and strategic management; use product and process models to define, execute, control and manage the entire process of an enterprise; and use scientific simulation and analysis tools to make better decisions at every step of the product life cycle (PLM), fundamentally reduce the time and cost of product innovation, development, manufacturing and support.
5. Internet of Things
IoT: the Internet of Things, InternetofThings, the Internet of Things is the Internet of Things and Things, which refers to the real-time collection of any required information such as objects or processes that need to be monitored, connected, and interacted through various information sensing devices. of a huge network. Its purpose is to realize the connection between things and things, things and people, and all things and the network, which is convenient for identification, management and control.
6. Cloud computing
CC: Cloud computing, Cloud Computing, is a pay-for-use model that provides available, convenient, on-demand network access and enters a configurable computing resource sharing pool (resources include network, server, storage, applications, services), these resources can be provisioned quickly with little administrative effort or interaction with service providers.
7. Industrial big data
IBD, industrial big data, Industrial Big Data, is the application of big data concept to the industrial field, in order to make equipment data, activity data, environmental data, service data, business data, market data and upstream and downstream industrial chain data originally isolated, Massive and diverse data are connected to each other to realize the connection between people and people, things and things, and people and things, especially the connection between end users and manufacturing and service processes. It can realize the mutual conversion of data, information and knowledge, so that it has stronger decision-making power, insight discovery power and process optimization ability.
Compared with big data in other fields, industrial big data has the characteristics of stronger professionalism, relevance, process, timing and analysis.
(Explain, because there is no mature definition of industrial big data, this definition is based on my own understanding, combining the definitions of big data by Gartner, IBM and Professor Li Jie's book "Industrial Big Data" to form this definition , I hope you will criticize and correct)
8. Prediction and health management
PHM, namely Prediction and Health Management, Prognostics and Health Management, is a brand-new solution for managing health status that comprehensively utilizes the latest research results of modern information technology and artificial intelligence technology. Generally speaking, the PHM system mainly consists of six parts: data collection, information induction processing, condition monitoring, health assessment, fault prediction decision, and safeguard decision.
9. Hybrid manufacturing
Organically combine 3D printing (additive manufacturing) technology with milling (subtractive manufacturing) technology to form a new manufacturing mode. Through hybrid manufacturing, the advantages of additive manufacturing can be effectively used to realize the processing of new geometries. At the same time, the additive manufacturing technology is no longer limited to the processing of small workpieces, and the processing efficiency is also greatly improved.
10. Factory Information Security
Factory information security is the application of information security concepts to the industrial field to achieve security protection for systems and terminals covered by the use and maintenance of factories and products. The terminal equipment and systems involved include industrial Ethernet, data acquisition and monitoring (SCADA), distributed control system (DCS), process control system (PCS), programmable logic controller (PLC), remote monitoring system and other network equipment And the operation security of industrial control system, to ensure that industrial Ethernet and industrial systems are not unauthorized access, use, leakage, interruption, modification and destruction, to provide information services for the normal production of enterprises and the normal use of products.
(Explain that, with the continuous deepening of intelligent manufacturing, information security in the industrial field will face new challenges, and there is no mature definition of factory information security. This definition is based on my own understanding and the characteristics of information security to form this definition. I hope you can criticize and correct)
Some of these technologies of industrial computer have matured and entered the practical stage; some theories have been initially perfected and are in the stage of research and development; some are still in the stage of theoretical discussion. In short, with the continuous deepening of intelligent manufacturing, there will be more new technologies emerging.
