Industry 4.0: Smarter, More Energy-Efficient More Fun Note 2013 Hannover Messe
Hannover Messe, the largest industrial fair in the world, was held in Hanover from the 7th to the 12th of this month. The theme of this trade fair is "Converged Industries", and building intelligent networks and sustainable production in all aspects of industrial production have become the main topics of concern to the show. Following the invention of the steam engine, mass production and automation, this trend is known as the "Fourth Industrial Revolution," with Industry 4.0 becoming the hottest topic at the show.
Realize intelligent network
German Artificial Intelligence Research Center booth demonstrated a small flashlight assembly and appearance of the text production model. Matias Roskilde, a researcher at the center's intelligent factory system, opened the case of a flashlight and the reporter saw an electronic tag attached to it. He said: "Production tasks and related information are recorded in the electronic tag, the tag, this component can tell the system the processing it needs, such as which components need to be installed, what kind of text patterns are etched "
Under the production equipment is the program control memory. Roskilde said that in the past, production was controlled by separate program control memories, and now they interfaced these devices through interfaces to control the production process from the central computer through networking. As a result, the replacement of production tasks, eliminating the need for complex process of change procedures, control more streamlined, saving time and effort.
Reiner Graz, head of information, software and electronic automation at the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Industries, told this reporter that Industry 4.0 is a new concept of industrial production. Before, people had to make good production procedures and change one Production tasks are time consuming and laborious. In the new system, the components of the product communicate directly with the production system, issuing the instructions for the next required production process. The 4.0 era of the industry will change the use of the entire production technology, the entire system will be more intelligent, networking more closely, different components can communicate with each other, work faster and respond more quickly.
Of course, in the smart network, network and system security is particularly valued. Graz said we will need more information security, which is a core topic. There is still huge research and development potential in this area.
Smart to create energy saving
In the context of energy transformation, energy saving and environmental protection are the constant pursuit of German enterprises.
At the Phoenix Electric booth, a "robot" wearing a hardhat notched his head and winked at the visitors from time to time. After working for a while, she lay down and rest, closing her eyes and "falling asleep." This is the company's latest energy-saving production system developed. Roland Bent, manager of marketing and development at the company, said that in the past, in order to ensure production, the large factories had to keep running large equipment even when they were idle. Through the combination of information technology and hardware software, the company can now rest idle equipment And restart it in time for the next mission. Through this technology, you can save 15% of the entire production process.
Fraunhofer-BMW and the company jointly developed the interactive diagnostic system allows employees in the production of automobile inspection links by pointing out the flaws in automotive components, the location and type of defects directly recorded in the system. If the staff waving a wave, flaw records can be erased. The staff at the stand, Alexander Sykke, said that previous employees had to write down the location of the flaws before entering the computer. The new technology can save this period of time, and the tried and tested staff generally said the interaction made the job more interesting.
The system demonstrated by the German Artificial Intelligence Research Center also allows employees to operate through the operation instructions on the big screen. The system gives instructions for the next step through the identification of the human body and the production components. The work of the staff is simplified, and the work training and instruction can also be performed at Work carried out above.
Graz said employees in factories now mostly operate machines and the production process is predesigned. Future workers should store their experiences in the machine and communicate more intelligently with the machine. Professionals can also learn at work with the help of machines.
China is developing rapidly
About 730 Chinese enterprises participated in the Hannover Messe, which is the largest participating country except Germany. Distribution from the exhibition point of view, Digital Industry and Industrial Automation Pavilion of Chinese enterprises are not many. Zhang Dingzheng, senior manager of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Electronic Information Industry Branch, told this reporter that China is still in its infancy in this area, but its development is by leaps and bounds.
Shenzhen Hualong hearing the company's Minister of Administration Yang Fan told this reporter that the company launched the "digital factory" system in the domestic market has great potential, there are already many tobacco companies to use this system. The big screen in the booth, the reporter saw through the 3D modeling and information collection system, the factory operating status of each machine, material consumption and production capacity of the factory real-time situation can be conveyed to the big screen. In the lower right corner of the screen, you can see which of the plant's devices have failed or need to be replaced. "With our equipment lifecycle management, we have dramatically reduced the number of factory equipment failures and increased our productivity," said Liang Hongyu, the company's project manager.
At present, Germany is a leader in the smart industry. German Electronics Industry Association Dr. Klaus Mitelbach told this reporter that in Germany's R & D investment, 50% of the software investment. Graz said that Industry 4.0 in Germany is also in the promotion phase. The German government first realized that the application of network technology in industrial production has great potential and supports a series of research projects. Germany has a strong machinery manufacturing and automation industry and has certain strengths in the software field. Together, these three areas determine Germany's dominance in the Industry 4.0 era. "I believe this development will affect the development of industrial production in the coming decades." The German Association of Electric Industries and Electricity predicts that Industry 4.0 will increase industrial productivity by 30%. (People's Daily, Hanover, April 9)
