Intelligent manufacturing refers to the realization of information-based manufacturing under universally understood conditions with the whole product life cycle as the object. Intelligent manufacturing technology is based on the latest technologies such as modern sensing, Internet, full automation and anthropomorphic intelligence. Through intelligent identification, human-computer interaction technology, decision-making and execution technology, the design process and manufacturing process are intelligent. It can be said that the comprehensive combination and integration of information technology, intelligent technology and equipment manufacturing technology makes manufacturing automation more intelligent and highly integrated. Based on intelligent factory, aiming at realizing the intelligence of key manufacturing mitigation, based on end-to-end data flow and supported by Internet technology, product development cycle can be shortened, resource energy consumption can be reduced, and operating costs can be greatly reduced, thus significantly improving productivity and product quality.

As for intelligent manufacturing, let's talk about the international cooperative research plan of intelligent manufacturing system IMS initiated by Japan in April 1990. Many developed countries around the world, including the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia and so on, are all planning. The estimated cost of this project is as high as 654.38+0 billion US dollars, and it is necessary to carry out relevant scientific research on 100 projects.

According to the definition of intelligent manufacturing by relevant research departments and the expected purpose of intelligent manufacturing, the technology of intelligent manufacturing includes many advanced technologies related to the whole process of manufacturing products, such as sensing, experiment, information transmission, digital control, database analysis, data acquisition and processing, network, artificial intelligence AI, production management and so on. The manifestation of intelligent manufacturing is intelligent factory.

What aspects of intelligence does intelligent manufacturing include?

1, intelligent product

Product intelligence usually integrates all sensors, CPU, memory and communication modules into one product according to the specific requirements of customers, and helps to enhance the value of products through functions such as memory, identification, communication and location identification.

2. Smart devices

Artificial AI is integrated with processing information technology and equipment, so as to improve the accuracy of production and processing, manage the life cycle of production equipment, improve the utilization rate and safety of equipment, and help enterprises achieve the purpose of improving quality, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

3. Intelligent production

Because of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent production can be realized. With the help of digital controllers, industrial robots and other production equipment and network big data, the production process is monitored in all directions, and the production data is mobile in all directions, which makes the production process more transparent, the workshop management visual, and improves the production efficiency and management efficiency.
