Digital technology will become the core of new productivity in the industry

On July 29, the 5th National Chemical Industry Intelligent Manufacturing Development Forum and 2022 Global Industrial Internet Conference Petrochemical Industry Forum was held in Wuzhen
.
Experts at the meeting said that digitalization has redefined the productivity and production relations of the manufacturing industry, and digital technology will become the core of new productivity
.
The new generation of digital technology represented by the Industrial Internet can provide new momentum for the high-quality development and sustainable development of the industry in terms of production, operation, safety and environmental protection, and management
.

Stimulate the refactoring of production methods

Huang Peng, chief engineer of the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, pointed out that digitalization redefines the productivity and production relations of the manufacturing industry, and digital technology will become the core of new productivity
.
In the future, the three elements of productivity in the manufacturing industry will be fully centered on digitalization.
The digital economy will trigger the adjustment of new production relations, and digital transformation will stimulate the reconstruction of production methods
.

Dai Yuanshen, Director of Global Battery Materials Operations Integration at BASF and Chief Expert of Smart Manufacturing in Greater China, said that in addition to reconstructing existing production methods, digitalization can also unlock factory production methods in emerging industries
.
Through digital technologies such as the Industrial Internet, data visualization, model empowerment management, and big data algorithm prediction, BASF has realized the agile development iteration of battery materials and the integration of production, sales and research, as well as the cross-border integration of physics and chemistry, process and discrete

Xue Xujin, deputy general manager of Polyfluoride New Materials Co.
, Ltd.
, shared the construction of the polyfluoride industrial Internet platform
.
He introduced that based on the industrial Internet platform, Dofluoroduo not only applied the digital twin technology of the production life cycle, but also extended the industrial chain and opened up the entire link of R&D, design, engineering, production and operation
.
At present, the platform has the functions of remote control of public works and positioning feedback of product information, forming a complete industrial chain from raw materials to customers, and business capabilities such as production and research and development have been upgraded in all aspects
.

Change the operation and management model

"In addition to changing the traditional production structure, that is, to achieve physical replacement, digitalization also changes the governance structure of operation, production, management, and marketing, that is, to achieve mental replacement
.
" National Information Technology Service Standard Library Honorary Architect, National Intelligent Manufacturing Maturity Director Evaluation Teacher Song Yuewu said
.

Yuan Zhihong, a special researcher at Tsinghua University, said that the disruptive new production model requires a matching operation and control model.
Using information technology to build a new modular and macro-production model for high-end/specialty chemicals will realize multi-variety and multi-batch products.
The flexible manufacturing and dynamic allocation of resources will eventually promote the transformation of the chemical industry to high-end and refinement
.

At the same time, the Industrial Internet has also spawned new operational business forms
.
Li Hushan, vice chairman of the Valve Maintenance and Remanufacturing Branch of China Electromechanical Equipment Maintenance and Transformation Technology Association, said that industrial Internet technology can connect the breakpoints of the industrial service industry chain such as equipment remanufacturing in series
.
The association is building a service platform to realize the aggregation and release of industrial idle resources, promote the integration of manufacturing and service industries, and help the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing
.

Enabling safety, environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction

Guan Lei, director of the Production Safety Risk Early Warning Center of the China Academy of Work Safety, said that the current level of chemical safety production is difficult to meet the requirements of intrinsic safety, and the long-term stable and high-quality development of the industry faces many challenges.
One of the keys to the transformation and upgrading of the industry is to achieve safety and environmental protection.
Intelligent management and monitoring traceability
.
The combination of the industrial Internet and the safety production of the industry can change the passive emergency management method of accidents in the traditional production mode, and fundamentally solve the intrinsic safety problem of the production of hazardous chemicals
.

Li Bin, CIO of Huafon Group, introduced how Huafon Group uses the smart safety and environmental protection platform to improve the safety management level of the plant area
.
"Using digital twin technology and monitoring equipment, the company park has realized the in-process supervision of safety risks, including real-time analysis of operation information, equipment operation, personnel behavior, and vehicle traffic conditions
.
" Li Bin emphasized that the use of AI, algorithms, large-scale Data and other technologies can realize the transformation of the safety and environmental management of chemical production enterprises from post-accountability to in-process supervision, and finally to pre-forecasting, thereby comprehensively improving the safety management level of chemical enterprises
.

Zhou Lichao, head of Schneider Electric's industrial automation business process automation technology, pointed out that as the country has higher and higher requirements for enterprise safety and environmental management, and carbon neutrality actions are forcing enterprises to carry out industrial transformation, digital management software will become a green development of enterprises.
important technology
.
This technology can help companies reduce energy consumption, reduce waste and pollutant emissions, and improve operational efficiency
.
At the same time, the information-based carbon tracking tools and the digital management of carbon assets will also help enterprises to achieve sustainable development and achieve the "dual carbon" goal
.
