Both Germany and the US government are promoting the development of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet through the establishment of alliances and platforms. Shanghai can also take the lead in building a platform for deep integration of informationization and industrialization in the country.
The topic of Industry 4.0 is hot, but the interpretation of many experts is contrary to the original intention of German Industry 4.0. One of the big misunderstandings is to equate it with a smart factory and then equate it with the digital pipeline. What is the scope covered by Industry 4.0? Recently, the reporter interviewed experts from Siemens (China) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Institute of Science. They pointed out that the German Industry 4.0 strategy shows that the deep integration of informationization and industrialization will bring about all-round changes in the manufacturing value chain, rather than being limited to manufacturing.
Horizontal integration, R&D holistic solutions
Wang Yingchun, an associate researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Science, said that there is a problem in domestic interpretation of Industry 4.0: to talk about his own views through the concept of Germans. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research released the “Proposal for the Future of German Manufacturing: The Implementation of the Industry 4.0 Strategy†in 2013: In order to achieve the strategic goal of the Information Physics Integration System (CPS), “the following characteristics of Industry 4.0 should be implemented: Horizontal integration through value networks; end-to-end engineering digital integration across the entire value chain; vertical integration and networked manufacturing systems."
Speaking of this horizontal integration, Wang Haibin, executive vice president of Siemens (China) Co., Ltd., said that in the process of moving towards Industry 4.0, we can't just focus on the manufacturing process, otherwise we can't meet the evolving Internet economy demand, but we must take the overall situation. Review the entire manufacturing industry and develop holistic solutions for all aspects of the value chain, such as product design, production planning, production processes, production execution and services, in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
Triple play, open up manufacturing and service industries
Many experts in China interpret the smart factory emphasized in Industry 4.0, which belongs to the "vertical integration" proposed by Germany's "Proposal for Implementing Industry 4.0 Strategy". Wang Yingchun said that if we only emphasize it and ignore horizontal integration, the understanding of Industry 4.0 is narrowed, and it is “downgraded†from the reconstruction of industrial ecosystem to a partial upgrade.
The “triple play†proposed by the German report portrays the prospect of combining two integrations: the CPS platform is the hub, and the Internet of Things, the Internet of Things and the human-network connection are integrated. Among them, the Internet of Things is connected to the purpose of creating smart grids, smart factories and smart homes; the service network is connected to services, which distributes various services scattered on the Internet and offline on one network; to represent.
Dr. Hui Hui from the Shanghai Institute of Science believes that in this system, the manufacturing and service industries have been opened up, which will change the existing production methods and lifestyles. Taking e-commerce as an example, in the future, when people purchase manufacturing products on e-commerce platforms, they can put forward individual requirements. After the order is sent to the company via the network, it will be transmitted to the smart factory and automatically produce personalized products that meet the customer's needs.
Shanghai should participate in building a new global industrial ecology
After correctly interpreting Industry 4.0, how should we act?
In Wang Yingchun's view, the industrial Internet proposed by Germany and the industrial Internet proposed by the United States are both medium and long-term visions, and their implementation will take some time. This is inevitably a process of cooperation between international manufacturing powers, because it is difficult for individual countries to independently build Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet. As a manufacturing power, China should become a more active and advanced international partner, not just passive users and standard recipients.
Shanghai should take the initiative to undertake a national strategy and formulate strategic policies from the perspective of participating in the construction of a new global industrial ecosystem. Shanghai has multi-disciplinary research strength, manufacturing base and national market radiation capacity. Many regional headquarters of foreign companies dedicated to Industry 4.0 are also located here, so it is possible to establish a platform for domestic and foreign resources docking. Both Germany and the US government are promoting the development of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet through the establishment of alliances and platforms. Shanghai can also take advantage of the trend to integrate domestic and foreign innovation entities and resources, and build a platform for deep integration of informationization and industrialization to promote domestic and international The company is jointly involved in the development of standards and the development of holistic solutions.
