Recently, with the issuance of the "State Council Guidelines on Deepening the Development of the Internet for Industry + Advanced Manufacturing" issued by the State Council, the "industrial internet" will surely go from concept to landing in the next 2-3 years and the market will surpass the level of trillion. From an industry perspective, the industrial internet is still in its early stages and is on the upswing.
Against this background, Midea Group announced at this year's AWE (China Consumer Electronics Show) that digital and artificial intelligence will drive the creation of a beautiful version of the industrial internet, although the industrial internet has become popular, but the practices of European and American giants have also proven Long-term layout is needed for the transition from manufacturer to solution provider, and the transition of Siemens AG in Germany has been going completely for 10 years, but the results are also obvious: in the past 5 years, Siemens's after-tax net profit increased 40%. In contrast, the layout of the United States Industrial Internet How to stand out in the Red Sea nowadays?
Digital closed loop
As early as 2014, the crisis-orientated beauty started to undergo digital transformation and successfully achieved its goal of "one beautiful, one system and one standard", which enabled the Group to improve its R & D capability, order response, planning capability, flexible manufacturing, purchasing power and quality tracking , Logistics capabilities, customer service installation and other aspects of the entire value chain, have achieved the standardization and systematization, and created a solid foundation for the United States to deepen the digital transformation and layout of the industrial internet.
Midea can not only achieve the integration of its own production system, but also establish a systematic connection with the suppliers and operate data-based operations both internally and in the supply chain. By virtue of this, the United States has implemented the business transformation of T + 3 with fixed sales From the beginning of 2017, Midea will promote deep business transformation, upgrade intelligent supply chain, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics to achieve global synergy, transparent and efficient operation. In terms of software development, Midea has the most comprehensive intelligent manufacturing suite available : Midea plans to integrate M & A business management system MBS with its proprietary R & D platform to improve the efficiency of production scheduling by 83% and effectively achieve accurate operation and efficient quality management Collaboration with suppliers Cloud can precisely coordinate production planning, And to achieve the entire logistics tracking and full booking admission, with the blockchain technology, logistics can achieve full tracking, efficient and safe.
Hardware and software collaboration
Nowadays, the development of industrial internet is mostly on the surface, relying solely on the Internet or relying on purchased equipment, and there are still many problems to be solved in the process of collaborative docking with the manufacturing platform, and in this respect, the advantage of the industrial internet created by Midea On the one hand, China is a big country and a powerhouse in the manufacturing industry, and the United States is one of them. As a result, China has the best manufacturing practices in the field of manufacturing and has long pondered over the complicated manufacturing fields such as injection molding, electronics, assembly and 3C manufacturing. On the other hand By joining forces with KUKA in Germany and KIC in Israel, we have introduced the world's leading robotic, automation and business solutions to seamlessly link big data from production to motion control to effectively enhance the visualization of production processes, Quality monitoring.
Not only that, the logistics of this docking client and the manufacturing side of the core links, the United States will also man-machine cooperation as a multi-lever win-win industrial chain fulcrum: On the one hand, the integration of robotics and automation technology, means that large integrated warehousing , Small efficient sorting, automatic loading, mobile AGV, logistics warehouse with the ability to effectively improve; the one hand, the product from the sale to the warehouse and then sent to install, including the sale of all business links with the data to achieve transparent Based on the use of artificial intelligence, big data analysis and blockchain technology, Massive real-time analysis of IOT data, orders for intelligent control and business decision analysis, delivery, storage efficiency and security Sex reached exponential improvement.
Customized
The ultimate goal of the US version of the Industrial Internet is to realize the real C2M customization through intelligent production and network collaboration, so that the entire industrial chain can be closed-loop and efficiently operate with customer demand as the center. If it depends entirely on the procurement of semi-finished products Assembly, mass customization can only be reduced to only choose the color, pattern surface effort, but the real starting from the user's products, in addition to meet the user's existing needs, but also must respond to potential demand or pain points.
With the help of artificial intelligence and big data optimization schedules, we can also solve the fragmented nature of customer orders. We also plan to supply the supply chain with unplanned products. The challenges brought by production scheduling are to achieve an 83% increase in the efficiency of planned procurement integration. In terms of beauty, this not only means the compression of costs, but also represents that in the future, Midea's industrial Internet platform can smoothly carry out the production execution of small batches or even single orders. To understand the needs of users, Midea does not stop at the consumer. Participate in product design, introduce a smart new retail model, and gain insight into the real needs of users through a large amount of data accumulation and analysis. At the sales terminal, using facial recognition, natural language understanding, big data analysis and other technologies, recommend the most for consumer intelligence. Appropriate product solutions. In turn, Midea leveraged on the accumulation of sales terminal consumer data and feedback from consumer households interacting with global product sales that exceeded 300 million in annual sales volume to build user portraits based on big data to help product development.
It is reported that the current version of the industrial Internet solution in the United States has already taken initial shape, and compared with the fact that most suppliers only provide products or solutions for electronics or single industries, Midea is not limited to equipment manufacturing, but also has products and solutions. Transplant to electronics, assembly lines and discrete manufacturing and other fields.
The layout of U.S. 'Human Machine New Generation' has succeeded in opening up the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, realizing the end-to-end whole process, the entire industry chain, and all-intelligent human-machine collaboration. And the ambition of the United States does not stop at realizing its entire industrial chain. Of the outstanding operations in the upcoming industrial Internet industry in the outbreak of the United States undoubtedly saw its help promote the transformation of other manufacturing companies may play an important role.
