Industry 4 let China automobile "intelligent manufacturing" face a tough battle.

"Under the impact of industrial 4, one must face the reality that China's automobile manufacturing industry is still hovering between industry 2 to 3, which is in line with the whole process of industrialization in China - Zhou Jiceng, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that China has entered the information age without the completion of industrialization (electrification). At this time, how to use information communication technology or the application of information physical system to promote automobile manufacturing to automobile intelligence has become an enlightening battle.

The tide of the "third industrial revolution" from the United States was unleveled, and the trend of "industrial 4", from Germany, brought new shocks to the leaders and practitioners of China's manufacturing industry.

From the concept given by the German official, "industry 4" is the fourth industrial revolution dominated by intelligent manufacturing, which aims to convert the manufacturing industry into intelligence by means of making full use of information and communication technology and the virtual system of cyberspace - Information physical system.

The automobile industry, as a representative of manufacturing industry with high technology content, high intelligence and high industrial concentration, may become the leading position of industry 4.

In Germany, Mercedes Benz, BMW group, Volkswagen Group and BOSCH have taken the lead in testing water industry 4. At home, entrepreneurs engaged in automobile manufacturing also began to think seriously about the possible impacts and ways of the wave of industrial 4.

A little thing that happened at the end of November can be annotated. At that time, the China Industrial Daily reporter came to the interview of Zhengzhou Yutong Bus, a leading bus company in China, and met Tang Yuxiang, President of Yutong Bus. In more than 1 hours of communication, Tang Yuxiang's main topic is not the bus industry situation, but let him think a lot of "industry 4".

All roads lead to the same goal: Germany's "industry 4" and China's "two integration".

From the information collected by Baidu encyclopedia, it originated from the industry of Germany, the leading country of the world's manufacturing equipment field, 4, one of the ten major future projects identified by the German government "high technology Strategy 2020", and has risen to a national strategy to support the development and innovation of a new generation of revolutionary technology in the industrial field.

According to the definition of German academic circles and industry circles, the introduction of mechanical manufacturing equipment in eighteenth Century was defined as industry 1, and the electrification of the early twentieth Century to industry was 2, and the production process began in 1970s to be industrial 3, and the service of the Internet of things and manufacturing industry ushered in the fourth industrial revolution dominated by intelligent manufacturing, that is industry. 4.

Although the name is different, the German "industrial 4" has many connotations with the "third industrial revolution" proposed by Jeremy Rifkin, an American trend scientist. For China, this strategy points to the "two integration" under the road of new industrialization - the Minister of industry and information technology in October this year. At the 4 Symposium on the German industry, Miao Wei said that the German industrial 4 strategy and China's information and industrialization depth integration strategy are the same as the core concepts, main contents and specific practices, and can learn from each other and learn from each other.

The key to industry 4 is to integrate software, sensors and communication systems into so-called physical network systems. In the intersection of the virtual world and the real world, more and more people conceive, optimize, test and design products. With the integration of information and industrialization, Miao polder has described the wide application of information network technology, which can produce large data in the process of perception, collection and monitoring, so that intelligent manufacturing, network manufacturing and flexible manufacturing are the direction of the transformation of production mode.

In fact, for the Chinese manufacturing industry in the middle of 2 - 3, it is very urgent to make use of good information technology and Internet technology to make "China made" into "China intelligence". In a speech at the beginning of December, Miao Wei especially mentioned that to promote "two integration", we should take "intelligent manufacturing" as an important entry point, promote the intelligentization of equipment and products, reform and optimize the whole process of manufacturing through information technology and improve the efficiency and efficiency of enterprise production.

In a recent public speech, Wu Xiaobo, Dean of the school of management of Zhejiang University, also pointed out that the cross-border integration of information technology and traditional industries will be an inevitable trend in the future. China's manufacturing industry should pay full attention to the information technology that supports cross-border integration and transform the direction of customization, intelligent manufacturing, and manufacturing service.
