?CPS realizes the integrated design of computing, communication and physical systems, realizes interaction with physical processes through human-computer interaction interfaces, and uses networked space to achieve remote, reliable, real-time, safe, Manipulate a physical entity in a collaborative manner.
?Industry 4.0 is a German term, and China’s is called Made in China 2025.
?Industry 4.0 is a new production management model oriented towards decentralized intelligent manufacturing and is a future trend. a development trend. The German Industry 4.0 Group described it in the "Recommendations for the Implementation of the German Industry 4.0 Strategic Plan": "Industry 4.0 will form a new level of socio-technical interaction among all factors and resources in the manufacturing field. It will enable production resources (production equipment, robots , conveyors, warehousing systems and production facilities) to form a circulation network. These production resources will have the following characteristics: autonomy, self-adjustment to cope with different forms, self-configuration, based on past experience, equipped with sensing equipment, decentralized configuration, At the same time, they also include related planning and management systems. As a core component of Industry 4.0, smart factories will penetrate into the value network between companies and ultimately promote the perfect integration of the digital world and reality. ”
?In the German vision, Industry 4.0 is an intelligent production model based on automation, digitization, and networking. Within the factory, people, machines, and materials collaborate independently, self-organize, and operate efficiently; outside the factory, through end-to-end integration and horizontal integration, full sharing and collaboration in the value chain are achieved, and efficiency, cost, quality, and agility are all improved. A qualitative leap. Although the situation is very difficult, Germany is not without opportunities. Based on its mature and strong industrialization foundation, Germany's manufacturing industry still has great opportunities, and it can fully utilize its strengths to offset its weaknesses and stand out from the tight encirclement.
?CPS originated from the United States, but its application in manufacturing industry was popular in Germany. In July 2007, the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology listed eight key information technologies in the report "Leading Under Challenges—Information Technology R&D in a Competitive World," of which CPS ranked first. Americans research CPS as a science and technology, while Germans use CPS as an enabling technology for practical use. Industry 4.0 positions CPS as a core technology (pictured), which is not only a need for technological development, but also a technological fortress established by Germany based on its own advantages. CPS has both offensive and defensive functions for Germany's Industry 4.0 strategy.
?The statistical report of the Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of the Chinese Embassy in Germany shows that automobiles, machinery manufacturing, electronics and electrical and chemical industries are Germany's four pillar industries.
?In recent years, Germany has also achieved rapid development in high-tech fields such as renewable resources, nanotechnology, biotechnology and environmental protection technology: In the fields of wind power and photovoltaic solar energy, Germany has led the way both in terms of output and technology. In terms of environmental protection technology, Germany is at the leading international level; in the pollution-free food industry, waste treatment and recycling, land, air and water pollution control and other environmental protection technologies, Germany has greater advantages. With annual environmental protection patent technology registration, German companies are firmly in the world. Name; Nanotechnology is a world leader, especially in terms of research level. Its number of papers and patents is at the same level as the United States and Japan; research and development in aviation composite carbon fiber lightweight materials, aerospace engines, large launch vehicles, and earth remote sensing It has certain advantages; it is in the international advanced ranks in the research and development of new materials, and its R&D-intensive products that are highly related to the research and development of new materials account for 18% of the world market share.
?In addition, German industrial software such as SAP and Siemens occupy a large share of global industrial software and are one of the promoters of Industry 4.0.
In the face of several hot technologies today, such as CPS, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robots, additive manufacturing, etc., Germany's research and application are not inferior.
