Industry 4.0 Day 1: Intelligent Production
As we said before, production equipment and management information system are also connected separately, and equipment and information system are also connected. Do you think there is something missing? Yes, raw materials and production equipment have not been connected yet.
At this time, we need something called RFID, radio frequency identification technology. I guess you don't understand. Simply put, this thing is equivalent to a QR code, which can bring some information. What is great about it is that it can communicate wirelessly.
Let me describe a scene. In the production workshop of Pepsi-Cola, three bottles came down from the production line one after another. Each bottle has its own QR code, which records that this coke is customized for Zhang San, Li Si and Wang.
When the first bottle arrives at the filling place, it tells the controller in the central control room through wireless communication of two-dimensional code that Zhang San likes sweeter and puts more sugar, and then the controller tells the filling robot, "Add two Jin of sugar!" Zhang San is unlucky ...
The second bottle came, saying that Li Si has diabetes, and no sugar. The controller told the robot hand, "No sugar for this product!" "
The third bottle came, saying that Pockmarked Wang wanted Fanta, and the controller said "have a rest" to the robot with coke, and then said "Go ahead!"
Yes, multi-variety, small batch, customized production, each cola is customized for you from the moment you place an order online, and all its characteristics are in line with your preferences.
This is intelligent production.
Industry 4.0 Day 2: Smart Products
If the production process is intelligent, then the industrial products as finished products can also be intelligent. It's not hard to understand. What smart hardware you see, such as smart bracelets, smart bicycles, and smart running shoes, is this idea. It is to use the product as a data collection terminal, constantly collect user data and upload it to the cloud for user management.
A core difference between German and American Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet is whether to open smart factories or engage in smart products first. Germany wants the former and America wants the latter. As for China, it's better to add it, whether it's positive or negative.
Industry 4.0 Day 3: Production Services
As I said just now, smart products will continuously collect users' data and status and upload them to manufacturers, which makes it possible for a new business model to charge for services. When I was in Siemens many years ago, Siemens proposed to charge for the service. At that time, I thought it was a stupid decision made by the Germans, but now I understand that this is the service layout made for the emergence of Industry 4.0 a few years ago. What's your impression of Siemens? Refrigerator? You idiot, Siemens has quietly acquired many famous software companies in recent years, becoming the second largest software company in Europe after SAP.
What kind of service is this? For example, Siemens produces traction motors for high-speed rail. I used to just sell a motor directly. Now this motor will continuously send data back to Siemens' factory during its operation, so that Siemens can know the current running state of your motor and when it needs to be overhauled. What did high-speed rail manufacturers do in the past? Across the board, set a time, repair it when it is time, and don't repair it when it is time. Our car maintenance is no different. Now Siemens can tell you when you need repair and maintenance. I'm sorry if you want to know. Give me the money.
For another example, after the realization of intelligent products, each car will continuously collect the surrounding data to determine its own driving route, and the entire transportation system will receive all-round services. Nobody needs to buy a car anymore. Maybe one day driving by yourself will become a serious illegal act, because the equipment is intelligent and people really can't control it.
At this stage, all manufacturers will transform into service providers.
Industry 4.0 Day 4: Cloud Factory
When the industrialization of the factory and the integration of industrialization are further deepened, another new business model will be born, which is the cloud factory.
The equipment in the factory is also intelligent now. They are constantly collecting their own data and uploading them to the industrial Internet. At this time, we can see which factories and production lines are running at full capacity and which are idle. Then these idle factories can sell their production capacity and produce for others who need it.
Why the Internet industry is developing so fast is because entrepreneurs only need to focus on product and model innovation, and they don't need to buy their own servers, so they can rent services directly in the cloud. At present, industrial entrepreneurs still have to work hard to find OEM or set up their own factories, which greatly limits the innovation in the industrial field. When the cloud factory is realized, I predict that there will be a wave of innovation and entrepreneurship in China's industrial field that is 100 times larger than the Internet. At that time, everything in this society will be profoundly changed.
Industry 4.0 Day 5: Cross-border Strike
Every day, the Internet industry says that dimensionality reduction will impact traditional industries. What Google Xiaomi Alibaba LeTV, but I tell you, when Industry 4.0 enters the fifth day, the cross-border attacks of industrial enterprises will be 100 times more violent than these Internet companies. This process will fundamentally shake the foundation of modern economics and management and reshape the whole business society.
For example, a watch manufacturer, this watch is attached to your body every day, collecting all kinds of data about your body. These data may be useless to watch manufacturers, but it is a vault for insurance companies. At this time, watch manufacturers can become the best insurance companies.
When automation and informatization are deeply integrated, cross-border competition will become a normal state and all business models will be reshaped.
Industry 4.0 dzogchen: Matrix
The whole process of Industry 4.0 is a process of continuous integration of automation and informatization, and it is also a process of redefining the world with software.
In the future, the multiverse will become a reality in the virtual world, and a real world will correspond to countless virtual worlds. Change the real world, and the virtual world will change; Change the virtual world, and the real world will change. Everything is under precise control based on data. Most of human physical labor and mental work will be replaced by machines and artificial intelligence, and all current economic principles will no longer be applicable, which may also lead to moral and ethical problems. But I believe that some things will not change, such as human love, responsibility, courage, yearning for the future and freedom, endless struggle. Endless!
Ok, it seems a bit far to talk about the matrix now, so let's talk about the Science and Technology Consulting 20 16 Hanover Industry Exhibition and Industry 4.0 Benchmarking Tour! What did science and technology consultation learn from students? Please pay attention to the subsequent series of reports.
