In recent years, the world's manufacturing powers have promoted the transformation of manufacturing industry to intelligence and automation. In 2016, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the guidelines for the implementation of Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering (2016-2020), hoping that enterprises will bring "two improvements and three reductions" through the implementation of intelligent manufacturing, that is, the production efficiency will be greatly improved, the comprehensive utilization rate of resources will be greatly improved, the development cycle will be greatly shortened, the operation cost will be greatly reduced, and the rate of defective products will be greatly reduced.

During the 13th Five Year Plan period, it has become a broad consensus in China's business circles to vigorously develop intelligent manufacturing. A large number of enterprises have preliminarily solved the problem of low production efficiency of traditional manufacturing, and gradually realized the transformation from labor-based repetitive manufacturing to digital manufacturing with universal participation of automatic equipment. First, it has effectively alleviated the problem of labor shortage in manufacturing industry; Second, it solves the "blind spot" in the process of production and operation; Third, it has opened up the information island between enterprise R & D, production and logistics; Fourth, it has laid a solid foundation for industrial digitization and digital industrialization. Especially during the epidemic period, intelligent manufacturing gave the majority of enterprises strong vitality and took the lead in returning to work and production. Through business transformation and expansion, some enterprises timely adjusted their production lines to process medical supplies such as masks and protective clothing, which solved the urgent needs of the reality.

There are also some problems in the implementation of intelligent manufacturing. The implementation of Intelligent Manufacturing in enterprises is easy to be "virtual", which is too advanced in network construction and deployment, and does not pay enough attention to the digitization of manufacturing process; The pace of digital transformation of the majority of small, medium-sized and micro enterprises is still slow, and the lack of funds and technology has affected the enthusiasm of small, medium-sized and micro enterprises; The supply level of intelligent manufacturing talents can not meet the needs of the next large-scale digital transformation in China.

The outline of the 14th five year plan clearly puts forward to promote the upgrading of industrial foundation and the modernization of industrial chain, and improve economic quality, efficiency and core competitiveness. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, intelligent manufacturing is still the key means to improve the quality and efficiency of manufacturing industry, maintain the basic stability of the proportion of manufacturing industry and improve the modernization level of industrial chain.

First, we should unify our understanding and strengthen intelligent manufacturing as the main direction of manufacturing power.

Intelligent manufacturing is an important way for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry and the implementation of high-quality development. On the one hand, through digital and network transformation, it has realized enterprise data collection and data interconnection, improved enterprise production and manufacturing efficiency, expanded new business forms and new modes such as remote operation and maintenance and customized production, improved the core competitiveness of enterprises, and accumulated a large amount of data, It is of great significance to the development of digital economy; On the other hand, with the continuous integration and in-depth promotion of artificial intelligence technology, intelligent manufacturing can solve the traditional problem of low product processing accuracy caused by lack of experience. Through the accumulation of data, it can improve the product processing accuracy. At the same time, a batch of intelligent products can be produced and launched to promote the products to better meet the growing living needs of residents. During the "14th five year plan" period, we should pay more attention to the role of intelligent manufacturing, pay attention to the integration of new generation information technologies such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence with manufacturing technology, take industrial Internet and artificial intelligence as technical means to improve the efficiency of manufacturing enterprises and realize the leap of value chain, and continue to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing.

Second, we should adhere to manufacturing enterprises as the main body and implement intelligent manufacturing.

Manufacturing industry is the foundation of the country and the instrument of rejuvenating the country. The tax rate of manufacturing enterprises is 13%, twice that of the financial industry. It is a real large profit and tax household. Only by effectively improving the operating income and profit level of manufacturing industry can we promote the healthy development of social economy. At the same time, the core of intelligent manufacturing lies in the in-depth application of the new generation of information technology in the manufacturing industry to stimulate new value and new growth points. During the "14th five year plan" period, the implementation of intelligent manufacturing should avoid "virtualization", avoid the Internet representing everything, avoid the "new generation information technology" divorced from manufacturing, provide broad application scenarios for the new generation information technology through the manufacturing industry, and promote the new generation information technology to solve the practical problems of the manufacturing industry.

Third, we should pay attention to the intelligent manufacturing of small, medium-sized and micro enterprises.

Small, medium-sized and micro enterprises contribute more than 50% of taxes, more than 60% of GDP, about 70% of patent invention rights and more than 80% of urban labor and employment. However, small, medium-sized and micro enterprises are often at a disadvantage in fixed asset investment and technological transformation, lack of financial support and technical support, which often makes small, medium-sized and micro enterprises prohibitive in front of intelligent manufacturing. During the "14th five year plan" period, the implementation of intelligent manufacturing should focus on solving the difficult problems of digital network transformation of small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, and develop low-cost and simplified intelligent equipment and industrial software. Only when the majority of small, medium-sized and micro enterprises move towards digitization can it represent China's move towards an intelligent society.

Fourth, we should improve the overall intelligent manufacturing level of the industrial chain supply chain.

From the course of intelligent manufacturing, during the 13th Five Year Plan period, most enterprises carried out single machine digitization, production line digitization, factory digitization and enterprise digitization, and intelligent manufacturing has been gradually promoted in enterprises. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the implementation of intelligent manufacturing should focus on the modernization of the industrial chain, focus on promoting the overall intelligence of several key industrial chain supply chains, improve the efficiency of collaborative manufacturing of the industrial chain, and encourage leading enterprises in the industrial chain to increase the technology penetration, network penetration and data penetration of the industrial chain supply chain system, Leading enterprises should assist the upstream, middle and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain to implement intelligent manufacturing according to unified standards, and promote the orderly flow of Intelligent Manufacturing Talents in the industrial chain.

Fifth, colleges and universities should play a greater role.

At present, the application of robots and CNC machine tools has basically solved the problem of insufficient supply of skilled talents. The majority of enterprises can get rid of their dependence on labor through "unmanned factory". However, "unmanned factory" is not equal to "zero person factory". The number of skilled robot and CNC machine tool operators and maintenance personnel and personnel mastering information technology required by enterprises has increased significantly, that is, more technicians are needed. These technicians should understand both manufacturing technology and information technology, The cultivation of these talents must rely on the undergraduates and postgraduates trained by colleges and universities. During the "14th five year plan" period, in order to implement intelligent manufacturing, we should pay close attention to the cultivation of professional and technical talents in intelligent manufacturing, encourage colleges and universities to set up relevant majors in intelligent manufacturing, and encourage enterprises and colleges to jointly formulate training plans and jointly set up courses to solve the problem of shortage of technical talents in the future.
