2017 was a splendid year for the industrial automation industry. Various innovative products emerged in an endless stream. Various advanced technologies were rapidly promoted and applied. The entire industry has taken a big step from automation to intelligence. Of course, there are even brighter scenes in the automation industry where you are clamoring for big or new, or cutting-edge or remarks.

The following are the top ten forward-looking remarks of the 2017 industrial automation industry compiled by Xiao Bian. I hope that I can learn from the people in the industry and hope to trigger the thinking of the entire industry.

1. Schneider Electric: The economic significance of the Internet of Things is comparable to that of the Industrial Revolution.

The survey data shows that in the global energy supply field in the next 40 years, energy consumption will increase by 50%. In the next 25 years, the consumption of electricity will increase by 80%. At the same time, if global energy consumption increases by 50%, in order to halve global carbon dioxide emissions, it is necessary to triple the energy use efficiency to achieve the goal. In the energy and power industries, where new technologies are needed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and control production capacity, IoT technologies are playing an important role in meeting these challenges.

After investigating the views of 3,000 business elites in 12 countries on the Internet of Things, Schneider Electric concluded that the significance of the Internet of Things for economic development will be comparable to that of the industrial revolution, the Internet, and mobile communications, which will greatly promote social innovation and Prosperity will trigger a new round of digital transformation of the company. Zhao Guohua, CEO of Schneider Electric, said: "By 2020, there will be 50 billion connected products that will be digitized."

In an interview, Prith Banerjee, executive vice president, chief technology officer and member of the Executive Committee of Schneider Electric, said in an interview that “in the past 100 years, we have been committed to producing the best 'objects' for our customers. We will connect these 'things' and become interconnected products."

“The Internet of Things is the future of Schneider Electric.” PrithBanerjee believes, “For Schneider Electric, we see the future development trend – the integration of IT and OT, which will also promote the transformation of Schneider Electric.”

2. Omron: Human-robot collaboration is a trend for future development

The digital information revolution has come and a new generation of information technology is having a profound impact on the production line. All equipment, people, and data in the factory will be seamlessly connected through the Internet of Things, and then big data analysis will be used to optimize production. This is exactly the result of smart manufacturing and is the latest trend in the current industrial automation industry.

At the 19th China International Industry Fair, Omron, a world-renowned manufacturer of automation control and electronic equipment, exhibited artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, intelligent robotic production solutions and corresponding automation products under the theme of “Evolution”.

In an interview, the Omron Robot PJ Minister of Execution Ding Zhuo said in an interview: "In the traditional sense, robots replace humans. First, things that people do not want to do are replaced by robots. Second, things that cannot be done by people are robots. But Because the use of robots in some specific processes is still difficult to achieve, and people need to combine operations, the existing technologies may not meet such requirements. In this case, it is the future that people and machines cooperate with each other for better cooperation. To develop a trend, we are always paying attention to the direction of this market. For some specific applications, Omron may also consider some collaborative robots, or it will enrich our product line."

3. B&R: Smart Factory emphasizes market change responsiveness

In the era of Industry 4.0, the concept of the factory was different. It is no longer a simple task for workers + assembly line + mass production. Song Huazhen, marketing manager of B&R Industrial Automation (China) Co., Ltd. believes that the core of a smart factory should be its ability to respond to changes. The “change” here refers to the realization of small-batch, multi-variety production, but he also proposed that intelligence should not only include the product itself, but also include the “optimization” of basic operations management such as quality, cost, and delivery cycle. Smart factory can solve the problem of high quality, low cost and rapid delivery of these foundations to enhance the problem, and then personalization based on it.

There is no doubt that the proliferation of smart factories presents challenges to the traditional automation market. The industry generally believes that this kind of challenge is a positive promotion, and Song Huazhen has a different understanding of this: “The smart factory has two positive and negative effects on the automation market. Because the smart factory emphasizes integration, it The demand for automation products and solutions is open, which means that the traditional closed system will be gradually marginalized. Therefore, only those products that continuously carry out IT capability extension can get positive market feedback.”

On the other hand, Song Huazhen believes that with the deep application of cloud computing and IoT, the downward extension capability from IT vendors will cause some HMI, network transmission equipment, and on-site collection of manufacturers products to suffer a certain impact, although the overall market will grow. However, if it fails to respond to future open demand, it will hardly survive in the market.

4. Li Peigen: The smart manufacturing ecosystem is changing quietly

On December 7, Prof. Li Peigen, a professor at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a deputy chairman of the Association of Intelligent Manufacturing of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology, was interviewed by reporters. “The development of smart manufacturing in China has made great progress, and the smart manufacturing ecosystem is changing quietly. ."

Li Peigen said that Chinese academic circles are very concerned about the development of international smart manufacturing, and China's smart manufacturing industry has indeed made considerable progress. "Many companies have changed their ideas. We need smart manufacturing and corresponding technical support. This kind of demand has become urgent. This is a big change."

Li Peigen said that another change in China's smart manufacturing ecosystem is that several large companies are showing their responsibilities and are committed to the development of smart manufacturing cloud platforms, which can be used not only for their own companies but also for other companies. “Our countries should have a number of large companies that have such a role to build their own platform. This is also a sign that China’s smart manufacturing ecosystem is quietly changing.”

5. Gu Jian Dang: Talent 4.0 is the first element in promoting Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing

On the 7th of December, during the main forum of the 2nd World Smart Manufacturing Conference, Gu Jian Dian, president of Phoenix (China) Investment Co., Ltd., said in an interview that in the process of promoting industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, we must first accelerate the promotion of talent 4.0 Construction.

Gu Jiandang said that approximately five years ago, in the process of the integration of German Industry 4.0 and China's smart manufacturing, Phoenix, as a promoter and sponsor, was deeply aware of the leap from "Made in China" to "China's Zhi Zhi", facing The biggest bottleneck is the construction of talents, education, and cooperation mechanisms of production, education, and research.

Gu Jiandang said that Phoenix, as a company that actively promotes digital transformation, has focused on the practice of digital transformation in establishing university laboratories and carrying out cooperation in production, learning and research, and has promoted Phoenix's leap from product to technology to intelligent system solutions. In the future, it will further promote China's smart manufacturing, and the promotion of the cooperation mechanism between production, education and research will also be accelerated.

6. Shenyang Machine Tool: Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Will Change Future Business Models

On April 8-9, 2017, Zhao Yan, Acting Chairman and President of Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. delivered a speech at the 2nd China Manufacturing 2025 (Shenzhen) Summit. He said, what is smart manufacturing? It is mainly personalized manufacturing, and it can be satisfied quickly when there is a personalized demand. With intelligent manufacturing technology, the change is the production relationship. Instead of focusing on large-scale building of factories, every small factory owner can be the boss. All technical solutions and all services can be solved through the cloud platform smart factory.

Zhao Hao said that in the future, companies will not need to purchase equipment to build factories, and after the intelligent ecology established around processing needs, industry finance, consumer finance, and supply chain finance will be able to establish new business conditions and eventually form a shared economy. Complete changes in production methods and business models.

"What is the closest relationship between the establishment of an intelligent ecosystem around processing needs? Only economic relations are the closest. This ecosystem of cooperation is a win-win ecosystem. In particular, the smart manufacturing sharing economy we are talking about now is the first time we need to Create value for others to share value. This round of smart manufacturing is really changing the mode of production, changing the business model, changing the economic sharing. To benefit him to self-interest." Zhao Wei said.

7. Red Lion Control: Let Industrial Devices Talk to Each Other

In the era of smart Internet, the market competition has become increasingly fierce, and the value of industrial communication products has become more prominent. It has the influence of “moving the whole body”. Red Lion Control As a global communications, monitoring and control specialist in industrial automation, Red Lion-controlled products can pioneerly connect these devices to each other and “talk” to each other. As a result, users can collect relevant data from new devices and legacy devices, which can be used to improve operational efficiency and gain competitive advantage.

Talking about the future development of industrial communication technology, Gao Dong, vice president of sales for Red Lion Control Asia Pacific, stated: “In recent years, Ethernet, Internet and other network architectures have been increasingly used in industrial automation and will replace traditional ones.

He further elaborated: “The application of wireless LAN technology in industrial control is also becoming more and more extensive and important. It is applicable to various industrial environments and can guarantee the reliability and security of the network even under extremely harsh conditions. At the device level, the field sensors, detectors, PLCs, card readers, or other devices are connected to each other to form a wireless sensor control network and become a tool for managing data collection within the information system.With the rise of Industry 4.0, wireless network transmission Technology is getting more and more attention, and adapting to the Internet of Things and wireless products with security performance will have more market."

In the view of Gao Dongli, the market for wireless applications has been increasingly perfected, and the industrial network has a higher requirement for real-time data transmission. This requires wireless devices to overcome problems such as interference, centralized management, and long delays in communications. Industrial network requirements. The rise of industrial Internet of Things also requires wireless networks to be seamlessly integrated with wired networks. Therefore, integrated routing, centralized management, and high security functions are the requirements for wireless devices in the future.

8. Siemens: Digital Transformation to Realize China's Industrial Upgrading

In July this year, German Siemens signed a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government and companies in Germany, signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of digital technology with the National Development and Reform Commission, and expressed willingness to actively share “digital enterprise” technologies and solutions with China in support of China’s Industrial transformation and upgrading.

Siemens chief technology officer Bo Leren said in an interview that China needs digital-oriented innovation to achieve industrial upgrading. Bole Ren said: "Industry 4.0" is to create a digital value chain and use data to create value. Our proposed concept of 'digital twins' covers 'digital twins', 'production process digital twins' and 'equipment digitization'. "Twins" help companies optimize, simulate and test in the virtual environment before they actually put into production. In the production process, they can also optimize the entire enterprise process in a timely manner." The "digital twins" in Bole's mouth are Refers to a model-based virtual enterprise and a real-world enterprise based on automation technology.

Bole Ren said that digital transformation has a profound impact on China’s economic development. The "Made in China 2025" and "Belt and Road Initiative" proposals have made it more necessary for China to rely on digital-oriented innovation to achieve industrial upgrading and enhance global competitiveness. The "One Belt One Road" initiative is the first to promote the countries along the Silk Road. Infrastructure development and interconnection are not only related to the interconnection of logistics networks. At present, many countries are embarking on energy system construction, and energy networks will also expand. Only on this basis can we create a higher level of industrial value chains. Industrial upgrading."

9. Bosch: Industrial 4.0 Makes Work Easier

At the Hannover Messe 2017, Dr. Stefan Hartung, member of the Board of Directors and industrial technology business unit of the Bosch Group, said: "In the next few decades, the daily work in the manufacturing industry will undergo a fundamental change. People and machines will Unprecedented and close cooperation. Industry 4.0 makes work easier."

In Hanover, Bosch proposed the concept of a 4.0 workbench: a workstation that can automatically adapt to the operator. For example, the work surface can be adjusted according to the operator's height; at any speed, the operator can receive work instructions through projection. Dr. Hartung pointed out: “The digital interconnect and production assistant can make the daily work in the industrial field safer, easier and more efficient.” At present, not only automakers and component suppliers have started to use collaborative robots such as the Bosch APAS assistant. The daily consumer goods manufacturers have also kept up with this wave.
