Anchoring the course, the transformation of Foshan manufacturing industry with trillion GDP began to accelerate. On July 27th, Foshan held a conference on digital and intelligent transformation and development of manufacturing industry in the whole city, and put forward 30 measures to support digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. Among them, a single enterprise's support of up to 654.38 billion yuan has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the high-quality development of Foshan manufacturing enterprises.
As one of the scientific research institutes that gathered in Foshan earlier, the Research Institute of Foshan Guanggong University has been shouldering the mission of self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology since its establishment, actively exploring the development path of digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry, empowering the digital transformation of Foshan industry from the aspects of enterprise service, technology research and development and personnel training, and helping Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to embark on the "fast track" of scientific and technological innovation.
Take the pulse to help Foshan robot industry cluster develop.
Foshan is one of the cities with the highest proportion of manufacturing in China's trillion-GDP cities, and it is also the only pilot city for comprehensive reform of manufacturing transformation and upgrading in China. However, the proportion of traditional industries in Foshan is too high, and the digital economy accounts for less than 20% of the city's GDP, which has a certain gap with the provincial and national average. For Foshan's manufacturing industry, digital and intelligent transformation is an avenue that Foshan must unswervingly take.
For a long time, the research institute has closely followed the strategic deployment of Foshan, based on its own positioning, and contributed to the Foshan big robot industry cluster.
At the beginning of its establishment, under the guidance of the municipal and district departments of science and technology, industry and information technology, the research institute set up an expert team, traveled all over the five districts of Foshan, visited and investigated more than 200 local enterprises such as Shang Wei Furniture, Xingfa Aluminum and Xinmingzhu Ceramics for pulse diagnosis, and formed dozens of digital transformation industry analysis reports, such as Foshan Industrial Robot Application Demand Report and Enterprise Smart Factory Transformation Report, for "Foshan Manufacturing" to "Foshan Intelligent Manufacturing".
The Institute has also set up six provincial-level technical service platforms in different industries, including Guangdong Robotics Engineering Center and Guangdong Semiconductor Innovation Center, integrating experts and technical resources from scientific research institutes such as Tsinghua University and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as well as Huibo Robot and Foshan Gaogu Incubator, and organizing groups to serve various "intractable diseases" encountered in the digital transformation of Foshan enterprises. According to statistics, the hospital has served more than 200 Foshan local enterprises such as Zhongfu Elevator, Fine Sanitary Ware and Wanhe Electric.
China (Guangdong) Robot Integration Innovation Center, located in Nanhai, Foshan, has gathered 32 robot enterprises.
Robot enterprises are an important force supporting digital and intelligent transformation. At present, the China (Guangdong) Robot Integration Innovation Center, which is directed by Nanhai Science and Technology Bureau and operated and managed by the research institute, has gathered 32 robot enterprises, focusing on the robot application needs in Foshan's home appliances, building materials, mechanical equipment and other fields, and creating a "one core and multiple parks" robot industry ecosystem; Through the online and offline mode, we will build the first comprehensive application supermarket of industrial robots in China, provide B2B one-stop service for both robot suppliers and robot suppliers, and solve the last mile problem of robot application.
Overcome technical problems and solve the transformation needs of Foshan manufacturing industry
With the urgent demand for industrial automation and intelligence from all walks of life, the research institute has also set up an intelligent equipment research and development team integrating algorithm, software, machinery and control sensor system design, and actively explored in the field of image and machine vision technology.
The intelligent equipment research and development team of the research institute helps Foshan manufacturing enterprises to transform and upgrade their technology.
Last year, the team put forward the project of "AI smart cameras Technology R&D and Promotion Service Platform Based on Multi-field Applications", which will be based on Foshan's traditional manufacturing industries such as hardware, household appliances, textiles, ceramics and aluminum profiles, and gather more than 10 leading enterprises such as Haikang Robot, Hangzhou Tengju and Wodepu, as well as the resources of scientific research institutions such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology, South China University of Technology and Guangdong University of Technology to solve defect detection.
"At present, many manufacturing industries still use manual testing for product quality testing, which is easily affected by the external environment and the test results are not completely reliable." Li, head of the artificial intelligence division of the Institute, said that the AI smart cameras developed by this project can replace manual detection, and has the characteristics of good stability, high measurement accuracy and uninterrupted operation in the functions of object recognition, object counting, size measurement and barcode/QR code recognition, and the long-term working cost after one investment is lower than the labor cost. "We have calculated an account, such as a home appliance production base with more than 2,000 people. The products include rice cookers, refrigerators, washing machines and microwave ovens. More than a dozen production lines need at least 20 inspectors for quality inspection, calculated at 80,000 yuan per person per year. If AI smart cameras is used for inspection, at least millions of yuan can be saved for the enterprise. " Li said to him.
The recognition speed is only 0. 1s/pcs, and the recognition rate is 99.99%. The detection speed of refrigerator front shell defects is as fast as 1s/pcs, the detection accuracy is 0. 1mm, and the detection rate is 99.9% ... At present, the research and development of this project is progressing smoothly, and it has been put into trial operation in cooperation with related enterprises, and it is expected to be officially put into production and put into the market at the end of the year.
Joint training of industrial craftsmen to provide talent pool for innovative Foshan
The maximum amount of support is 4 million yuan, and the number of leading talents in "one thing, one discussion" is not capped ... The conference will increase the introduction and training of talents and continue to increase subsidies, which will undoubtedly attract a large number of high-level talents to come to Foshan for development.
As the highland of talents' scientific and technological innovation in the Bay Area, the Institute has also given a reference model for talents training, including continuous postgraduate training and professional skills training with Guangdong University of Technology, South China University of Technology, Northeastern University and other universities.
