From a technical perspective, intelligent manufacturing integrates information technology, advanced manufacturing technology, automation technology, intelligent technology and advanced enterprise management technology;
From an implementation perspective, it includes the development of smart products, the application of smart equipment, and the establishment of smart products from the bottom up. Line, build smart workshops, build smart factories, practice smart R&D, form smart logistics and supply chain systems, develop smart management, promote smart services, and realize smart decision-making;
From an innovative perspective, smart manufacturing is based on a new generation of information technology. Traditional management concepts, production methods, and business models have brought revolutionary and subversive influences.
The first step is the current situation assessment. Diagnose and analyze the enterprise management and intelligent manufacturing architecture, and evaluate the information and automation status and application capabilities of the enterprise’s intelligent manufacturing. Generally, a combination of questionnaire surveys, on-site surveys, employee interviews and other research methods are used to find out the status quo of intelligent manufacturing of the enterprise, evaluate key performance indicators, and obtain the level of intelligent manufacturing of the enterprise.
The second step is business improvement and demand analysis. Clarify business needs, sort out and analyze the needs of the enterprise’s intelligent manufacturing business model, identify the support points and needs of key intelligent manufacturing systems, and propose optimization suggestions and goals for management improvement.
The third step is the overall planning of intelligent manufacturing architecture. Build a complete blueprint for smart manufacturing planning, clarify the strategic goals of smart manufacturing, design blueprints for informatization and automation, and build a technical framework and guarantee system for the operation of smart manufacturing.
The fourth step is to implement smart manufacturing planning. According to the priority of the project, the detailed implementation plan shall be clarified, rolling every three years and adjusting every year, and establish perfect safeguard measures.
“Knowing yourself, knowing the enemy, never end in battle”, accurate positioning of intelligent manufacturing capabilities is a good start for an enterprise’s intelligent manufacturing planning.
The construction of intelligent manufacturing is a complex system engineering involving multiple businesses, multiple fields, and multiple technical applications. It is a PDCA and continuous process. It’s like a journey, you need to know where you are, where you want to go, and how you should go. Therefore, in the process of intelligent manufacturing construction, companies need to regularly evaluate, track, summarize construction results and discover construction problems, and propose medium- and long-term top-level plans and short-term construction plans on this basis to optimize and improve construction capabilities and levels.
