"Made in China 2025" indicates three stages of intelligent manufacturing: first digitization, then network, and ultimately intellectualization. For now there are very few existing enterprises and products around the world can realize intelligent manufacturing. The foundation of intellectualization is digitization, so first of all, it is necessary to introduce digitization into products, the entire production process, and management, then establish the path of communication between different equipments, between equipment & products, and between equipment & people, ultimately realize networked manufacturing. On the basis of digitization and networked manufacturing have been achieved, can we talk about intelligent manufacturing.
The path to intelligent manufacturing: digitization, network, intellectualization
Digitization
The rationale of industrial digitization is to project the physical system to the digital world for optimization, and then apply to the physical system. That is, the physical systems (industries and products) are transformed into digital models by means of virtual simulation technology, then its design and process optimized in the digital world with the best solution people can find, and finaly apply the resort to the physical system.
The digital manufacturing of Bearing starts with the following three aspects.
1. R & D Digitization
Establish the digital model of the product through simulation, and realize the application and integration of single information technology such as CAD (Computer Aided Design) / CAE (Computer Aided Engineering Analysis) / CAPP (Computer Aided Process Design) / PDM (Product Data Management), etc.
2. Factory Equipment Digitization
Factory equipped with components that are deeply integrated into digital technology, such as numerical control system, controller (PLC), servo motor and RFLD, to realize the digitization of programming, operation, maintenance and management, and the automatic optimization of cutting technology and cutting parameters.
3. Production Process Digitization
Apply MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) with modules of human resource control, equipment operation control, production process control, schedule control, production work order control, material supply control, product quality control, tool control and production visualization.
With this system, we can collect machine information in real time, master equipment status, analyze equipment efficiency, do cost analysis, quality analysis, work order planning, production trend analysis, thereby control and make adjustment in time, we can even access plant management information from mobile device.
Networked manufacturing
Firstly establish enterprise resource planning system (ERP), product lifecycle management system (PLM), customer relationship management system (CRM), supply chain management system (SCM), etc., then develop from the application of individual information technology to integrated information, finnaly get to the efficient integration of PDM-MES-PLM-ERP.
Foster ecosystem of interconnectedness between enterprices, and establish enterprise central database. With the use of cloud technology and big data technology, based on the data flow, people, machines, and products can achieve interconnectivity, thus realize the integration of company's internal information flow, logistics and capital flows.
Enterprises organizational structure will transformed from the pyramid into a flat matrix, and the business process will be changed from tandem to parallel, which means disintermediation, and eventually realize the real-time synchronization and interoperability of information with customers and suppliers, which will be very helpful to facilitate the rapid response to customers orders.
Intellectualization
Based on Cyber-Physical System, which connected the physical world with the virtual cyberworld, people (robots), intelligent devices, and products are interconnected via wired and wireless, broadband, mobile and ubiquitous Industrial Internet (IoT).
Intellectualization will be throughout the entire manufacturing process and each part of the upstream and downstream manufacturing activities.
Intellectualization manufacturing will be capable to make adjustment based on big data, so as to achieve highly flexible production and service, and large-scale personalized customization.
