Promoting high-quality development of manufacturing industry in the era of intelligence

Manufacturing is the foundation of a country's economic development. At present, China's economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. To promote the high-quality development of the economy, we can not do without the support of the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing industry. Now, artificial intelligence has become a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change of the iconic technology, not only its own high-speed growth momentum, but also for the transformation and upgrading of other industries empowered. Expanding "intelligence +", playing the role of artificial intelligence in the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and realizing the quality change, efficiency change and power change of the manufacturing industry are the inevitable requirements for promoting the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry. "Intelligence + manufacturing" is a general trend The so-called "intelligence + manufacturing" is based on artificial intelligence as the core, including cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, 5G and other new generation of information technology and advanced manufacturing technology cluster innovation, integration and breakthroughs, covering research and development, design, supply chain, production, sales and marketing. It covers all aspects of the manufacturing industry chain such as R&D, design, supply chain, production, sales and service. Intelligent manufacturing is the expression of "intelligence + manufacturing", which takes communication network as the basic support, smart factory as the carrier, intelligence of key manufacturing links as the core, end-to-end data flow as the basis, and personalized production as the characteristic to realize the comprehensive improvement of manufacturing quality, efficiency and benefits. In recent years, the development of China's manufacturing industry is facing a series of problems such as rising factor costs, excess backward production capacity, and lack of total factor productivity, etc. At the same time, the traditional management mode and production methods are unable to meet the rapid market changes and increasingly personalized and diversified market demand. Artificial intelligence technology, as the most disruptive technology after the Internet, provides a new opportunity for a new round of change in the manufacturing industry. First, the application of artificial intelligence technology can not only liberate workers from repetitive and heavy physical labor, but also replace mental labor, and realize the transmission and promotion of human knowledge in the form of digitalization. For example, through the big data analysis of skilled workers' movements, their experience can be made explicit, standardized and softwareized to realize the efficient reuse of human skills. Secondly, by integrating and analyzing data on sales, after-sales, user evaluation, potential users' response to advertisement placement, and users' real-time usage, the AI system can judge user preferences, discover potential demand, accurately predict sales trends, and better guide product design and scheduling. With the help of AI technology, it is also possible to quickly build product prototypes, dynamically allocate resources, significantly shorten the time to market and reduce R&D costs. Third, artificial intelligence technology not only makes the production line more flexible, but also develops the ability of self-adaptation, self-awareness, self-decision-making, self-learning and self-optimization, thus realizing user-driven production, minimizing inventory and eliminating waste. Users through the digital platform can independently select product parameters or modules, and even directly involved in product design or artificial intelligence system to give personalized recommended design solutions, and through intelligent, flexible production lines to achieve low-cost personalized customization. Fourth, through the sensors, Internet of Things real-time acquisition, transmission of production equipment for intelligent analysis, not only can the production process parameters can be optimized to save energy and material consumption, improve the yield rate; but also real-time monitoring of the health of the equipment, timely warning of failures, the implementation of the maintenance and maintenance, reduce downtime losses. Fifth, to open up the data connection between manufacturing enterprises and upstream suppliers, downstream service providers and other business ecosystem enterprises, to achieve horizontal integration in the information-physical system. Through intelligent analysis, the entire business ecosystem can respond efficiently to market changes in a timely manner and realize the optimization of the supply chain. Sixth, through the cloud connection or the trained artificial intelligence system embedded in the product, not only can the product respond to user commands through natural language, gestures, etc., but also can provide rich value-added services relying on intelligent platforms, realizing the transformation of the enterprise from providing products to providing a combination of "products + services". In short, the current global manufacturing industry is accelerating towards the era of intelligence, artificial intelligence technology on the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry is increasingly influential, will enable the manufacturing industry to produce profound changes. Actively expanding the "intelligence +", for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry to empower the intelligent era to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry should be the title of the meaning. China's expansion of "intelligence +" has a unique advantage At present, artificial intelligence has become the new focus of international competition, the world's major countries have to strengthen the deployment around the core technology, top talent, standards and norms, in an attempt to grasp the dominant power in the new round of international science and technology and industrial games. Although China's artificial intelligence industry started late, the state attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence, issued and implemented the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", "Three-year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020)" and other policies and measures to promote the rapid development of the artificial intelligence industry, deepen the integration of applications, and continue to improve the industrial ecosystem; this year's "Government Work Report further emphasizes that expanding "intelligence +" empowers the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. At present, China's overall level of artificial intelligence among the world's first square, scientific and technological innovation advantages, massive data advantages, huge market advantages, enterprises actively promote the organic combination of China's expansion of "Intelligence +", to promote the manufacturing industry intelligent upgrading of the unique advantages. First, the advantage of scientific and technological innovation. At the level of basic research and development, China is a world leader in the number of AI scientific and technological papers published and cited, as well as the number of patent applications. At the level of supporting technology, arithmetic power is an important support for the development of AI, China's supercomputer ranked first in the world for many years in a row, and a large number of supercomputing centers and cloud computing centers have been set up all over the world, and cloud computing enterprises are in a leading position in the world. At the application level, China's computer vision, speech recognition and other artificial intelligence segments have good momentum, and the scale of the industry and technology level is in the world's first echelon. Second, the advantage of massive data. China is a large manufacturing country and a large Internet country, with the advantages of a large population, a large amount of data, and low data labeling costs. In recent years, a large number of advanced, automated and intelligent equipment has been put into use, providing a good foundation for the manufacturing industry to accumulate high-quality data and accelerate the intervention of artificial intelligence technology. Third, the huge market advantage. China has the world's most complete categories, the largest scale, the most complete industrial support, the largest number of enterprises in the manufacturing industry, for the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing industry provides a wealth of application scenarios and broad application space.

With the explosive growth in demand for artificial intelligence applications, the domestic Internet giants represented by BAT have taken the lead in laying out a complete ecosystem from basic technology research and development, open source and open platform construction to industry applications. The AI innovative enterprises that have sprung up are focusing on key areas of deep plowing. Although China's artificial intelligence technology research and development and industrial applications are developing rapidly, and generally have a certain first-mover advantage, but we should also realize that the current constraints on artificial intelligence to empower the manufacturing industry still exist. First, the comprehensive influence of scientific and technological innovation results is still not high. For example, in the field of chips, although a number of domestic chip design enterprises have emerged, but the core algorithms, technical frameworks and open source ecological innovation are still weak. Second, the high complexity of the manufacturing industry has increased the difficulty of intelligent upgrading. Third, there is insufficient AI investment in the manufacturing industry. With the rapid advancement of AI industrialization, it has attracted a large influx of capital. However, the manufacturing industry, as one of the most promising areas for the development of AI, has relatively little AI capital investment. In addition, the lack of composite talents with interdisciplinary knowledge also limits the improvement of the level of manufacturing intelligence. These issues deserve our great attention. How "Intelligence +" empowers the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry In actual operation, "Intelligence +" empowers the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, based on the wide range of scenarios of artificial intelligence application in the manufacturing industry, to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in the era of intelligence, the essence of which is not only the application of technology, but also the entire manufacturing industry.
